desertfox2 Posted 30 July 2022 Share Posted 30 July 2022 1 minute ago, JimJams said: His value is nearer £60 million... Doesn't mean its near £60million! His valuation from others may be 60m but then there's the fact that we don't want to sell him so it's like the Grealish situation. The market value is one thing but the price we would need in order to sell would/should be way higher. We have to be talking nearer to 80m. It adds on a whole new component to our rebuild. We are going to lose our most successful Goalkeeper ever either very soon or next summer. We are going to lose probably our best player ever in Vardy sooner or later. Tielemans and maybe Fofana if someone comes in for crazy money. That's 4 huge holes to plug plus the 5th being RW. If we need to plug 6 with Maddison going then we could easily be in trouble. Not to mention Rodgers shouldn't be anywhere near a transfer as his record in the transfer market is shocking, yes he can coach but you still need quality.

Could understand if it’s a top London side, but Newcastle? Massive sidestep and not going to increase his chances of getting to the World Cup It’s not even a sideways step that. Backwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 30 July 2022 Share Posted 30 July 2022 If this were to happen, I would probably give up on this Club after 50 years of following them. For God´s sake start doing something constructive Recruitment Team, anything would help lift this bull shite window. This is an absolute joke move by Newcastle as how on earth would selling your best player for 40% of the Grealish Fee help with a re-build? That is more like a demolition move. Tell Staveley (Lady Botox) to get back on her camel and do one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester said that this bid has been rejected. Leicester also said they thought his value was nearer £60 million. Who at Leicester said that!

Jakemoore Posted 30 July 2022 Share Posted 30 July 2022 Three things - firstly, £40m is a joke. Maddison was only second to KDB for numbers by attacking midfielders last season. Don’t waste our time. secondly, Newcastle are going to become a top 4 club. That is inevitable with the money they’ve got but due to FFP it’s going to take 4-5 years. Maddison’s next move will be for UCL which they haven’t got and won’t have for at least the next 3-4 years. I predict that they’ll actually finish below us this season so it would be a backwards, at best, sideways move for him. finally, I actually think he’s one of the few genuine players who actually loves the club so that’ll help keep him for a bit longer. Bloody love James Maddison. Honestly one of my favourite players of all time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobyfox Posted 30 July 2022 Share Posted 30 July 2022 We really can’t afford to lose our best players if we aren’t going to buy anybody. We’re so short of creative players up front that we should do all we can to keep JM. If he wants to go I’d be trying to force the price up to £80m - with the English player tax on top I’m not sure that’s unrealistic (see Grealish). I’m beginning to fear for our season now. It’s not likely we’re going to be able to hold onto all of Tielemans, Maddison, Fofana and Barnes and there are no rumours of any quality coming in. We’re also not looking likely to shift any of the dead wood. I don’t know what the answer is to break the impasse on no new players and no new contracts for all the players running their deals down. But we have to find a way to break it soon - or we will be in trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbury Fox Posted 30 July 2022 Share Posted 30 July 2022 10 minutes ago, Happy Fox said: He will get in the team ahead of Ndombele you would have thought. Spurs play 343 with 2 central midfielders, like England. They don't play with a 10. Can't see Madders fitting into a 2 man central midfield.

Paninistickers Posted 30 July 2022 Share Posted 30 July 2022 14 minutes ago, Happy Fox said: Spurs is the worry for me, if they bid serious money, he will definitely be off, the chance to play for a champions league club and get back into the England set up is no brainer for him. No he won't. Only if we as a club decide to sell. Which we won't. Doesn't matter how much he wants to play for spurs or Newcastle or Sunderland or Middlesbrough or how much they bid, he goes only when we say so.

Newcastle will be running daily flights to London when they inevitably start to attract top players with obscene money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to question madders if he actually goes there as well. ...sometimes you need a "keystone" in order to build the structure that you envisage!!! Someone is going to be sooner or later, and they (Newcastle) have not gone full-blown Viv Nicholson, throwing their money around. Their manager (Howe) would have a big impact on who they bring in and will be a guiding hand in the club's immediate development. This might have been to test the water, they probably think we are strapped for cash, but if this is true, they will know better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 30 July 2022 Share Posted 30 July 2022 Just a thought perhaps spurs’ interest was genuine and his agent is giving them a shove by getting someone else involved.

Kopfkino Posted 30 July 2022 Share Posted 30 July 2022 40m is a joke and we are truly in a mess if we have to sell one of our best players now, just go with what we have. Plus Newcastle can offer whatever they like, I hope we never take a penny off them. It’s bad enough that we have to play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
