Maddison

[indierich06]

Really don't mind him going Spurs provided they pay the money. No chance of any club trophies or medals for the rest of his career, but at least he might nail down that England spot.

[FrankieADZ]

Whelan rumoured to be handling negations. yeah good luck Levy

[LFox99]

Sickened by the number of shit 6 fans I've seen saying Spurs shouldn't bid a penny over 30m because we're relegated and Madders only has a year left. 

On one hand I would really want Madders so show them next season how wrong they are about him and his value, on the other that would likely mean Spurs being successful 

[Xen]

£40m up front

£5/7.5/10m add ons if they qualify for the respective European cups next year

£5m if he wins a trophy for Spurs

£2.5m if he's selected for the Euros

 

Feels like that would be a fair deal for us - enough cash up front to do something useful with now, a likely £7.5m+ by next summer, and gets him off our books pretty quickly (you'd hope...).

 

Also leaves the door open for a flat £50m from Newcastle/ManCity to snipe the deal.

 

Don't think we can realistically expect any more than £50m this summer, and anything less than £40m would be disappointing, so hopefully we're somewhere in the middle and negotiating the structure rather than the value of the deal...

If Maddison leaves here on a free next season it won't be to Spurs so they shouldn't concern themselves with it.

 

I doubt anyone on this forum rates Maddison as highly as me but £40m is the least amount that I would be happy with, anything over that is bonus money as although all things being equal that is an absolute bargain for whoever buys him we need to get the Maddison deal done ASAP. If what Percy says is true then you would think Spurs want him before pre season training rather than drag this out.

 

If talks are at an advanced stage it also might flush out another buyer who will pay nearer our valuation.

"talkSPORT sources" is an oxymoron. 

[Sly]

For £25,000,001 that they’ve apparently offered. We’d be better keeping him and letting him help us get out of the division. 

[Lionator]

Newcastle fans should be happy they’ve had a lucky escape. 

[Daggers]

“BREAKING: Leicester are ready to lower their asking price for Tottenham target James Maddison.

- someone at talkSPORT just made up”

[GingerrrFox]

It won’t be less than £50 million guaranteed. Chelsea want £60 million for Mount and we aren’t prepared to be low balled due to relegation. Someone will eventually stump up the requested cash.

an extra 2.5m and they can borrow our trophy cabinet for a season

[Lcfc-1992]

Good that he got to win a trophy with us if he’s going Spurs 

[Guest Mee-9]

🚨🚨

 

We want 60m. They will start bidding at 40m. We’ll meet in the middle and Madders becomes another profit.

If Man City come in for him, Spurs and Newcastle are basically out of it.

 

I also imagine that we would be amenable to negotiating a lower fee with Man City if they were to throw in a few players as part of the deal - Maresca will surely have his eye on 2-3 City academy products.

Now we're talking. 

[Corky]

Didn't Maddison do a tweet when he was about 15 saying how much he hated Tottenham? 

 

Might want to get that deleted soon.

[HankMarvin]

Give us some Saudi money, direct or filtered through Newcastle will do

Really isn't.

If it's talkSPORT who are reporting on anything, ignore it, if it's talkSPORT sources it's more likely to be true than not

Is @UpTheLeagueFox still on it?

 

Alan Brazil really is, literally, nuts.

Rubbish, play like that and he'll be absolutely fine.

They use the same ones as SKY. 

[Wymsey]

Reckon the likes of Sky, BT and talkSPORT get their 'sources' via Twitter gossip - quite genuinely.

 

Have noticed this trend when some random person with a decent following posts 'breaking news'.
