Don’t mean to sound harsh but all these rumours about James and assumptions are a bit crazy. As is all the subsequent hate and villain portraits we’ve seen from sections of the fan base. I doubt he’s going anywhere, I doubt he’s fallen out with anybody at the football club and I very much doubt he wants to go to Arsenal. Although I agree he is going nowhere, isn’t this just the other side of the supposition coin?

Personally I hope he stays and I’m even more hopeful that either Madders or someone at the club can say it’s all rubbish and put the issue to bed. Double his wages came from AFCBell-end. Any real substance in this? Artita would have queue at his door if this was reality. I suspect pure Harry Potter conjecture.
lcfc sheff Posted 21 July 2021 Posted 21 July 2021 When was the last time we did a swap deal? I doubt we’d want anything other than a big fee (£80m) with majority upfront

I was assuming they were coming to play - guess we’ll see! I don't think they'll be the first name on the team steet like Kasper, Evans, Tielemans or Barnes etc. They'll get plenty of games but it'll take them a while to get adjusted to the league and the country. The good thing is that when you have European football, even the 'squad players' (if that's the right term to use) will get 25 games a season. Previously when we've had 3 games in a week, we've had to start Tielemans and Vardy in all 3 and play them for the full 90 due to our lack of options, now we have the luxury of subbing them off early for other class players or playing them in only 2 of the 3 games, because the replacement players are good enough now unlike before.
DezFox Posted 21 July 2021 Posted 21 July 2021 (edited) For me losing Maddison weakens the first team and to do that while strengthening a rival would be silly, we won't entertain it unless it's seriously silly money. Im not to sure he has fallen out with Rodgers either as everyone is suggesting. He may be a little arrogant but that's why he is a game changer. I wouldn't say he is a bad egg at all. 100% keep, was class when Vardy went out of form last year. He just needs to be fully fit, it helps if Barnes is fit as-well to create space for him and they ink up well. Edited 21 July 2021 by DezFox 1
Pliskin Posted 21 July 2021 Posted 21 July 2021 Daka will most definitely be starting every game. Vardy will probably partner him early doors, but I’d be very surprised if Daka wasn’t the key man this season. 1
Tielemans63 Posted 21 July 2021 Posted 21 July 2021 Ridiculous story. If the makeweights aren't good enough to get into Arsenal's side then they're definitely nowhere near good enough for our team. Why would we want or need them? Arrogance from the media to think we'd be happy with Arsenal cast offs. We've got much better players. 3
coolhandfox Posted 21 July 2021 Posted 21 July 2021 This is the equivalent of taking my Ford Focus and Fiesta, into the Lamborghini garage later, just to see if they fancy a swap 2
RowlattsFox Posted 21 July 2021 Posted 21 July 2021 There is part of me that thinks Maddison is made for a squad like Arsenal. Soft as shite, all about image and social media but then the other half of me thinks there is potentially a great player to come out and we'd be stupid to sell. Its a big job replacing him but he's definitely not irreplaceable. I'd be disappointed if he actively pursued the move but it wouldn't surprise me. 4
Popular Post Jobyfox Posted 21 July 2021 Popular Post Posted 21 July 2021 It’s really not surprising or unusual for a higher echelon club to offer cash and peripheral players to a lower echelon club to secure a deal for a player. There is no problem with that. I wonder if Arsenal will accept Amartey and Choudhury - and cash for Saka? 2 6
Strokes Posted 21 July 2021 Posted 21 July 2021 I’d be sorry to see him go, I know he is impetuous at times and his form can be erratic but he really is a special player. I think he has another level or two to achieve and I hope he does it here. 1
Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 21 July 2021 Popular Post Posted 21 July 2021 (edited) Anyone who want to see him leave, needs to watch this and realise how good he is. Edited 21 July 2021 by coolhandfox 5 1

If we only dealt in hard facts there would be a couple of posts a month!! but yeah, maybe he doesn’t want to live in London (playing for Arsenal is just the vehicle for that), and maybe he wants to stay! 1

But I would be surprised if Daka isn’t the main man. Vardy will be used for the big occasions and EL I think. At least I hope, I think more sporadic appearances from Vards would yield more consistent performances.
Le Renard Posted 21 July 2021 Posted 21 July 2021 (edited) Reiss Nelson was ahead of his mate Sancho at one point, but has lost his way, Rodgers would be the ideal manager to get him back on track. Although I wouldn't swap any of their player(s), unless it is Saka for Maddison. I would want cold hard cash, and lots of it from those North London cheapskates. Edited 21 July 2021 by Le Renard

foxinsocks Posted 21 July 2021 Posted 21 July 2021 Arse are desperate to reduce their pay role. Therefore discount the value of any players by half

Not at the cost of losing one of our best players. This is clearly a story based in London for London consumption. Arsenal don't have the sort of cash for a player like Madders so the media feed it by making up these stupid types of offers.

His contract is up next summer and can there's no way the tribunal fee would be more than £8m 1
lgfualol Posted 21 July 2021 Posted 21 July 2021 Adding those players would only make me want us to ask for more money

Can’t see the point in playing a striker out wide but then again Rodgers has been previously said to like 2 strikers and 1 winger when playing 433. He did it at Liverpool with Suarez, Sterling and Sturridge.

It also gives us probably the last year of Vardy as a starter and if we get injury issues we’ve got options of Nacho, Perez, 2 strikers etc then next summer Vardy can become a sun, Daka the striker and a right winger the big summer signing. 1
