jv1 Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 (edited) Had to happen for everyone concerned - he did well for us and is a terrific player but wasn’t up to the fight last year like nearly all of his team mates - biggest clubs haven’t sniffed at him even at a reduced price - tells you a lot - gone to a bang average spurs side who will continue to be bang average - Maddison will continue to look decent and his numbers will be good again this year - it’s a good if not great fee for us - it will be 45 or 50 with add ons and we will get a good bit of that on appearances alone - also in thinking the winks fee will be reduced to accommodate probably another 5m so all in all not a terrible deal for a player with 1yr left who was never going to play in championship anyway - we move onto the next chapter and viva la rebuild - let’s get behind the new gafffer and players and have a crack at this championship shall we Edited 28 June 2023 by jv1 1

Popular Post Scanchez Posted 28 June 2023 Popular Post Posted 28 June 2023 I think he was great for us. An exciting player who could incredible things. It's what you pay your ticket price for. Might be a while until we see the likes of him again. I find it sad that he'll get booed if ever returns to the KP but I guess that's football. 6
Popular Post moore_94 Posted 28 June 2023 Popular Post Posted 28 June 2023 (edited) We don’t have the luxury of being able to drag out a deal for Maddison all Summer like we were able to do with Fofana and that probably ended up being a mistake letting it go on for so long (although not too sure if getting that done earlier would’ve led to more signings anyway) Rather sell him now for £40m than drag it out for 2 more months to only get another £5m on top of that Hopefully we can get a couple of our own incomings tied up this week Edited 28 June 2023 by moore_94 11
Thebluefox85 Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 Glad he’s out the door now! For me won’t go down as a very liked player when you look back his attitude and the fact he downed tool since after the World Cup really cost us! And the deluded comments he was making just unbelievable! Fact that he’s going to spurs and not a top 4 club says it all! 1

Think Leicesters golden boy Harvey Barnes spends more time boozing then he does training The sooner we are rid of Maddison, Thomas, Barnes and Hamza we might actually be able to build a half decent team spirit without some little clique prioritising their socials over the club. I'm all for players enjoying themselves but these lads have not reigned it in at all during the past year when maybe it would have served them and the club better if they got their heads down and focused on improving as players.
Popular Post Babylon Posted 28 June 2023 Popular Post Posted 28 June 2023 43 minutes ago, Hitesh said: Surprised people think £40m is low. He has one year left, no chance he'd play with us this season and not too much demand. We had no leverage in this deal at all. Good deal I'd say and allows us to move on Probably the same people who were insistent we'd get £120m for Fofana, they are out of their minds thanks to the Maguire transfer, which seems to have warped perspectives. £40m+ plus guaranteed extras over time was always what we were going to get, unless there was a bidding war. In the absence of one, then we take what we can get. Hold out for more and you run the risk of teams moving on and losing him for nothing, something we simply can't afford. On top of that, we need the money to build our own squad for the season ahead. 7 1
Popular Post AjcW Posted 28 June 2023 Popular Post Posted 28 June 2023 Fantastic player Great communicator to the media when it was needed I'm not going to hold anything from last season against him, the place was honking and everyone was shit. Seems a genuinely nice person, I completely disagree with the notion he is going down there solely for the lifestyle, he's about to be 3 kids deep , perhaps he is doing it for his family though in the sense Kennedy is probably a little bit fed up of living in Nottingham after years of modelling around the world before meeting Madders Hope he does well 7
FoxOfMelton Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 Glad this is done early, and at a decent price. Now let's get on with the rebuild.
Beechey Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 For what it’s worth, Percy reckons £40m is the guaranteed fee, with addition fees based on appearances and achievements. We’re probably looking at more like £45m or more being very likely.

Hmmm… it’s all gone mad As we all know, the fee is just whatever the selling club want. Is Rice worth £100m to Arsenal or Man City? No, course not, they could both probably buy a better player for less but he is worth £100m to West Ham.
lcfcsnow Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 The best thing about this is his goal shoehorned in at the end of the pre match montage can finally be removed. 2

Not just that though is it, as if he wasn`t believed to be worth 100m to the buying club I cannot imagine they would buy him for 100m

Bryn Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 We probably could have got a bit more but getting this done early is important. Good luck to him.
An Sionnach Posted 28 June 2023 Posted 28 June 2023 It is getting to the stage where all top players must be offered extensions two years from the end of their contracts and possibly sold if they won't sign them. Their value goes down dramatically from then on. Maddison has lost 30% of his value in the last year inspite of having a pretty good season.

Somehow don't think he will miss us too much.
