Really, he told me it was on going on Saturday. 

Yep. It’s been ongoing for months, hence him not being keen to sign it! Sounds a bit like the Tielemens situation

Notice that a double deal with Newcastle for Maddison and Tielemans is being banded about. Would this solve all of our money problems in one swoop? If so, it may be in our best interests to cash in and start rebuilding a new team.

Yes, Maddison has been our best player this season but Tielemans has been one of the worst. We would need to find a Madders replacement for a lower fee and on a smaller contract.

I think it might be the best way to sort out the current torture that we are having to endure.

Also some free transfers next summer with out of contract players could further help our wage bill.

 

Tielemans has not been one of the worse players this season, in fact he's been one of the better players. He was the best player on the pitch away at Chelsea and we still lost.

And that one for Soy … been about eighteenth months I think now.

I wouldn't blame any ambitious player who doesn't see their future with us. We've gone from one of the most well run, proactive PL clubs to a basketcase within a few years. Our much vaunted recruitment is a shambles, we've got no money and a coaching staff that seem to have no clue. As sad as it is to say, we cant allow another Youri situation, either Maddison signs or we sell.

[Leicester_Loyal]

Sad to see the decline of our club in the past 14 months.

[SecretPro]

I'd be off if I was in his shoes right now.

If we do let him go it will finally settle the argument as to whether the current situation is down to FFP or that we really are skint.

He is not keen on signing a contract extension, so wouldn’t surprise me that we cash in 

You’re a personal friend or his agent?

A friend of, but don’t get jealous! 

[Wymsey]

Apparently Arsenal were put off in signing him over his hip issue.

[alanf0x]

Latest offer rejected by him, will hold out until January now. How we have fallen

Clap Trap.

I’d be very surprised if he signs a new deal here.

[moseeds]

I mean if any one of us were in Maddison's shoes we'd be trying to salvage something for the 2026 World Cup. He'll be nearing 30 by then I think and in the final years of his career. At the moment he's on a sinking ship being overlooked even if he won the Ballon d'or. Imagine the WhatsApp messages going back and forth between the current 20-something year olds in the team.

[JimJams]

We'll get a decent fee for him and give a new manager some money to spend. His stock's pretty high, it'd be a fair bit higher if Southgate wasn't such a tit, so we'll get well reimbursed. Whether thar's in January or the summer, time will tell.

Yeah, I agree.

 

He's really the only creative spark we have and we should be building around him.

 

I'm worried if we lose him and Vardy continues to decline and Tielemans gone... That's a lot of goals for Harvey Barnes to score.

 

I really feel lost with the club right now, even if we stay up I just don't see a long term plan to solve the problems we face all over the pitch in terms of first team starting personnel. Genuinely worried no matter who the manager will be in 2023/4 we need some serious investment to be competitive and maybe even stay in the PL.

[ithuriel]

Even if things turn around and we stay up he will be sold, not signed a new contract and will want away, after letting so many players run their contracts down, doubt the club will take the risk but I cant see them selling him mid season, fortunately I doubt he has the patience to sit here another season waiting for a free so gone at the end of the season definitely in my opinion.

[HybridFox]

I'd actually be massively gutted if he goes. One who will no doubt improve any team he joined.

 

Without the European football carrot, it'll be very difficult to keep him here beyond the summer. Especially when Southgate's made his criteria clear

I’ll cry if he goes. 
 

On the flipside can you imagine what a monumental lift for the club it would be if he signed a new deal.

Get your tissues ready then. 

[st albans fox]

I can’t believe that he would actually go to newcastle 

 

he is good enough to play for one of the rich six.  I wonder if spurs might come sniffing in January and the newcastle stuff is his agent trying to drum up interest

We aren't, we just need to have 3 or 4 targeted replacements. 

Realistically now this is who we are, we need to let out superstars go and replace them with new talent. I woukd love us to pay Maddison what he wants to stay but we don't have the revenue to support this model. We should be greatdul madders is on top.form so that when he goes it's for a maximum fee.
