Webbo Posted 11 April 2022 Share Posted 11 April 2022 It was reported last week that we'd listen to offers for Maddison. Man City and Liverpool don't need him, Arsenal and Spurs (possibly Newcastle) are the obvious destinations. It's entirely plausible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already need to look at centerback and striking options. (Plus right wing) Totally rebuilding in the wrong place. There is no rebuild without money and if we are moving in a direction to which they are not key players, who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our recruitment over the past few years is poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I agree with it, but I could easily see it being true. Regarding Daka and Soumare, it’s too soon for me, will pan them both after next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we get rid of Madison and Youri and replace with 'too sooners' then we'll be in trouble next season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lad1966 Posted 11 April 2022 Share Posted 11 April 2022 This is complete bullshxt. Why would want to sell Maddison? With Youri potentially leaving, selling an in form Maddison would be footballing suicide. This is just media bollocks - i hope! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theessexfox Posted 11 April 2022 Share Posted 11 April 2022 I mean it’s been said before, and I’d be devastated to lose him as he’s really top class, but 2 years left on his deal puts us in a bit of a bind, we can’t keep losing our top assets for less than half their value 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 I get we might be selling some players this summer but to sell youri and madders in the same window would be madness. I think that was agent talk a few weeks ago about us listening to offers. Came just at the time he started playing well again… why would we start listening to offers as soon as he starts playing well again? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewquayFox Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 Staying with us, new contract being prepared, settled and back to his best form, young child who is settled in nicely in the shire, could well end up our top scorer this season and will have an England place for the World Cup… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnup Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 It's the England thing that'll sway Maddison , it is time for a new contract or to sell. Its about who needs a 10, lots of teams don't play one and he's no where near as good wide or deeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 As Arsenal now look EL bound, they will not spend what its takes for us to sell. Cannot seeing us selling 2 key players in the same window unless it is a Carlsberg offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 (edited) The one thing that makes me wonder if the Maddison rumours could be true is that if Rodgers has decided to stick with the 433 formation and ditch 4231. If so, where does Maddison fit? He is nowhere near as effective on the RW or as an 8. As others have pointed out, it's not clear which clubs with the money might be interested in Maddison. Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and Tottenham don't play with a 10. Man U and Arsenal favour 4231 but already have good options at 10 so not sure they will be interested in Madders either. So that leaves Newcastle or a move abroad. In saying all this, I really hope he stays. Edited 12 April 2022 by Sunbury Fox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our recruitment over the past few years is poor. i agree ( Li'l Wes excepted) . I put this view forward but other posters reminded me that we have evolved the club by buying low and selling high. It still feels to me that losing proven top prem players and signing the sort of players you have mentioned and even Lookman is taking us in the direction of Villa and Everton.We're not spending £500k on a possible mahrez but £20+ mill on speculative signings like Praet and Soumare who no-one seems to know what to do with and established (but crap) players like vestergaard.. I hope I'm wrong . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st Century Fox Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 I don't see Maddison leaving purely because he's one of our most marketable players. Whenever you see us represented on a Sky billboard etc. It's always Maddison, Youri or Vardy. With Youri probably leaving and Vardy potentially winding down, you'd think this would at least be a factor in the club's thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are never going to get their full value unless we are prepared to let them go when we least expect to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tielemans63 Posted 13 April 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 13 April 2022 Madders is probably our best player on current form. We shouldn't even be thinking of selling. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CloudFox Posted 13 April 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 13 April 2022 I get the tactical mentions of him, but he is doing pretty well in the RW slot at the moment. Our tactics encourage him to come central and RB rampage forward, so no need to change that. We need to bring in an out-and-out RW, yes, but that will just enable Maddison to push into the centre as a 10 (4-2-3-1) or drop back as an 8 (4-3-3). The only reason I think we would be open to selling him is if Youri stayed and we need to raise funds for the rebuild. Of course, as others have said, Maddison may think he has a better chance of getting into the England squad at a CL club. I'm not sure that's the case though. He's playing fantastically, and if Southgate can't see that here I think it points to more of a personal problem with him. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re more likely to go after Youri. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFox99 Posted 29 July 2022 Share Posted 29 July 2022 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11063265/Leicester-star-man-James-Maddison-offered-new-contract-stellar-Premier-League-campaign.html James Maddison is set to be offered a new deal at Leicester in the autumn after his stellar form in recent months. The playmaker has less than two years remaining on his current contract and securing his future is a priority for the Foxes. Maddison last agreed a new contract with Leicester in August 2020 — one which pushed him closer to top earners Jamie Vardy and Kasper Schmeichel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
