Based on? He does look like a good prospect and definitely fits the mould of player we’ve previously gone for.

Relatives in France said there's murmurings over there that we want both Amine and Yacine Adli, although the latter might only be if we sell a few midfielders first.

Right winger from ligue 2 - what could possibly go wrong....

...just went to watch YouTube regarding these guys..!!!

  Amine looks like an absolute handful, hard to keep him quiet with his movement and awareness. Not very good in deadball situations around the box and biggest drawback is he goes down far too often and we can't have two players like Maddison doing that, it's annoying!!

 Yacine is languid but appears  half a yard too slow, lacks genuine creativity, not sure why we need to pick him up, he looks good on the ball, but that is it.

I'm at the stage where I get more excited with us being linked to players I've never heard of

 

May as well be football manager regens

Really hope these come off, would be 2 very good signings, even if we just sign Amine. Very exciting player.

Was linked with Yacine before as well as Amine.. “Potential Maddison replacement” interesting…

Great news in regards to Amine Adli, hopefully AC Milan have moved onto other targets. Left footed, can play CAM or RW, last year of his contract.. Worth the risk imo. 

 

Yacine looks a bit too lightweight for me, think he’d struggle to make an impact in the PL. Also rumours of attitude problems which is why PSG let him go

We will not be replacing Maddison with a 20 y.o. kid with limited experience . If he goes ,which I personally doubt, we spend the full fee on a like for like replacement.

I seriously doubt that! He has not been a key component in the team for a good while (yes, we missed him, but we adapted), so would suspect it may be used for upgrading elsewhere with the funds, especially if we move more towards a 4-3-3.

Its 50-50 whether Tielemans leaves, losing our other major creative midfielder at the same time would be a very bad move. I am optimistic that Jimmy will be back on it next season.

We're not going to spend 60-70 mill on a replacement. Utter nonsense! 25-40 mill would be more likely, although wouldn't be surprised if we used the money to fund both a new CAM and RW ie Matheus Pereira + Berardi

Are you saying that's what you think would happen? Because I think that's highly unlikely. If we sold a player for ~£60-70m, I think we'd almost certainly be looking to buy 2 or 3 players with that money.

[Attywolf]

I'd expect if we sell Maddison that Adli would be a long term buy whilst also buying someone like Cunha or Pote 

[Ric Flair]

Jesper Lindstrom is the young unproven attacking midfielder I'd love us to go for as a 10, or Ludovic Blas

[An Sionnach]

If we want to remain a top 6 team we cannot replace core players like Maddison and Tielemans with unproven youngsters . In the end we will have to spend big to replace players like them. Sustaining what we have now will not be done on the cheap. We are now vying with clubs who do that and I do not see how we can be an exception. Title winning teams almost always have an average age in the mid to late twenties , its just the way it is.

Our recruitment team have to continue to do what they do, whether that's signing talented young players or established players. They deliver year on year, nothing has changed.

Lindstrom signed for Eintracht Frankfurt this morning

The "if we want to be a big club we have to act like a big club" argument might make a modicum of sense if it didn't ignore the fact that we don't have the resources to do so and that our incredible progress up to this point has come from us doing basically the exact opposite. There is no precedent whatsoever for us spending the entire fee we bring in for a key player on a direct replacement and I don't see why that would change in Maddison's case.

I think one of the key factors on Youri signing a new contact is demostrating we're ambiutious enough in the transfer market to be challanging top four again, if we sell maddison and don't spend that money, i'd have thought we may as well admit defeat on that aswell

Sounds like a replacement for Daichi Kamada. Been linked with Spurs, hopefully we are interested ! 

[An Sionnach]

King Power is a very well resourced company and, assuming Leicester City is not a vanity project ,they will have to underpin our transfer dealings as the owners of the other big clubs do. We aspired to be a big successful club and now we have achieved it,  but as I said , sustaining it won't be cheap.
