Not sure how it would work financially. They’d want an awful lot for a player that isn’t a priority for us. A min of 65m would be my guess.
Exactly. Talented and would be a great addition, but for crazy money.Not sure how it would work financially. They’d want an awful lot for a player that isn’t a priority for us. A min of 65m would be my guess.
homegrown, 5 years younger?I’ve said about him a few times and the fact Gold keeps dropping his name every other week as a player we like.
But, if we didn’t go for eriksen, why would we go for Maddison? Wages would be a lot lower I guess, but then we’d still be paying a fee here.
In interviews he comes across as having a right chip on his shoulder. I’d be wary of that.
Because eriksen was never in contes plans and doesn’t have as much versatility or get stuck in lije conte wants.I’ve said about him a few times and the fact Gold keeps dropping his name every other week as a player we like.

yes maddison would be expensive, but he’s 25 and coming off his best season, whereas eriksen is 30 and wanted a 3 year contract with 30 m in bonuses and huge wages.
Who cares about questionable tweets... We can have him delete the tweets as part of his announcement video ?Heard absolutely nothing on this recently but our interest does go all the way back to his Coventry days.
We are clearly looking at a creative mid who is a set piece specialist as Conte must feel (we all feel) that this is an area we lack in.
Putting aside his questionable tweets etc in the past, you can't argue he would be a fantastic addition to the squad. How achievable bringing him in though is a complete unknown for me.
see the ITK threadAre we linked or are we fantasising?
This is it in a nutshell for me. We lack that certain something, and clearly we're after someone of that ilk. He's not perfect for us though, as interesting as he'd be to add to the squad, he's not a perfect fit, and so I can't see us shelling out the small fortune they'd (almost certainly) wantWe are clearly looking at a creative mid who is a set piece specialist as Conte must feel (we all feel) that this is an area we lack in.

I just think they’ve gone a bit stale and need a rebuild. They’re falling away and some of their key players might just want a fresh challenge.I think he is a good player and would be happy if we signed him. I am somewhat of a skeptic when it comes to Leicester allowing him to go. I find it very hard to believe as would weaken that team a great deal. I haven’t followed who they have signed or what moves they have made this summer, but I would be amazed they are considering letting Maddison go.
