If Maddison wants to come to us only, then not much Leicester can do but sell him to us.

Wait what? Newcastle affected by FFP? How can that be? Their owners have trillions and can spend a billion in the summer window alone.
Can ask the same question about English ones

He just seems like a massive twat, a bit of a Dele, I worry he's not got it in him to deal with the pressure of Spurs.
They’ve spent more than 300m on a team they paid a little over 400m for.Wait what? Newcastle affected by FFP? How can that be? Their owners have trillions and can spend a billion in the summer window alone.
Forster as well doesn't he?
Yup, really not sure I have an objective reason to not get too excited about Maddison just not.
Eze would get me more excited.
Bentley rather than Dele
Would Devine help beef up HG quota too?
Surely you realise we can't just go out and spend big on all our targets. The squad needs upgrading in loads of areas of the pitch and we don't have unlimited funds...we need to think if that money can be better spent elsewhere.
If the choice was Raya and Kilman for 70m or Vicario and Tapsoba for the same price, which would you prefer?
He's U21 and doesn't need to be registered.

I'd forget about HG to be honest.
Just buy the players we think are the best and use youngsters to cover the HG gaps.
Don't feel it matters this year with less games and no Europe and hopefully we can give some youth a bit of experience where the chance arises.

Thank you.
As far as Tapsoba is concerned, I think Leverkusen will say it's 55mil and not a penny less...and that's before we even get to bonuses. They know what they've got and that if he had another big season for them, he'd either stay to play CL football or go to Bayern/City/Real/PSG for 80+.
I just don't see us spend that kind of money, not when we've got such a bloated squad. If we somehow managed to get a few mil for Sanchez, Dier, GLC & co, then yeah perhaps. But I'd be stunned if we invested big on him or another CB before we shift some deadwood.
More likely we'll get one or 2 backup type dudes first, then have a pop at Tap later on if the stars align.

Spoken to the one guy I know who religiously watches Serie A. Massive Inter fan. Says of Vicario: ‘he’s a steal’ at what we paid and that if he had gone to one of the bigger Italian clubs this year - and several were linked - then he would have cost Maignan money to prise away next year.
