yeh mate everyone playing "silly buggers" that we go for. It's everyone else's fault we end up with 2nd, 3rd and 4th choices all the time. It's never us...its the fault of the selling club all the time.
I genuinely believed that but we ended up with Lenglet.The centrebacks will come but get Maddison before anyone else.
Brilliant.
Obviously mentioned before by don't they use same agent as Ange.
Personal side of things easy.
Will be great to hopefully get him over the line for about £40m.
That's the one, thanks! Think we have a few players with them right?You mean Base agency. Yeh we seem to get mentioned with them a lot, clearly close links
Interested to see how Maddison fits into Postecoglou system.
I rate him but primarily in the no. 10. We are crying out for a lock picker and have been since Eriksen.
However, I don't see where he fits into Postecoglou's 433. He's not got the legs to plays as an 8.
His performances a very different playing for England and Leicester. Southgate shoves him out in a LW or RW position and he isn't as influential in the game compared to when he plays 10 for Leicester.
I don't know enough about Postecoglou, but is he willing to switch between a 433 to 4231?
I'm looking forward to pre season now.

Let's hope we're not calling them "relegated Leicester" during negotiations. They probably wouldn't like that.
173k by my calculations
Newcastle already in talks for 15 million.
Could be a great buy, but always risky with a player coming back from a big injury.
There's this highly rated up and coming DOF that i've heard we're interested inI bet Paratici is conducting the search for a new DOF as well...
Thoughts on the concerns of his off the ball movement and physicality?Maddison is a fantastic player. Basically double figures for g/a for multiple seasons. He offers a threat in & outside the box, can create, fixes a set piece issue, deals with a HG issue ... so yeah, big wage & big fee expected.
Underrated on here as he doesn't have a foreign name and is a bit of a dick.
