God, they are so bitter ain’t they. Such is their weird obsession with Spurs, they actually want him to go Newcastle. Weird irrelevant fanbase. Enjoy the championship you mugs. Seems a bit of revenge for that season with them relegated and us taking their best player 😎

Where did £100 million come from? Anyway , transfer fees are usually paid over the length of the contract which I never get, so if we buy Madison for £40million on a 5 year deal that’s £8million a year, or is there a sum paid upfront and the balance over 5 years. Anyone know exactly how it works?

It's a negotiation there is no standard, cash is normally paid in a large first payment and then over two to three years (not itk but it's what's reported) but for accounting ffp it's amortised over the length of the contract.

If a club doesn't want to sell they can demand it all upfront.

Which is why even with only 100m of the 150m drawn down, there should still be budget to play with from that.
 
Can't fucking wait for the football to start...

Then we'll know exactly what Postecoglou's system is and which player will or will not fit in it...

And not have to rely on simulations ran in some cunt's mind...

Now I'm not a believer in these 'player+cash' swap deals that ALWAYS seem to be suggested in the 'Paper Talk' but rarely ever materialise....

THAT said; taking into account our seemingly impossible task of finding takers for our 'deadwood' plus the common notion that none are good enough for us, and barely good enough for the rest of the PL... there MUST be someone we could offer Leiectser to in part exchange for Maddison??

You're not telling me Winks or someone like Dier/Lo Celso or (checks who else we have to unload) Reguilón wouldn't do well there?
Sampdoria are way worse than Leiectser, but Winks was prepared to go there!
Why not give a promotion push from the Championship a stab??

I dunno, just a thought ...

£45m+Winks (or A.N.Other) seems like quite a good deal for Leicester to me ...

The players mentioned won’t want to go to Leicester, unless it’s 31st Aug and there are no other options. The only one that might is Tangana

GLC is a starter for the WC winners - not a chance he drops down to the English second tier

People are already persuading themselves that good players aren’t good enough for Postecoglou’s system. Even though the man has said FUCK ALL about a single player in the squad.

We so desperately need a decent creative midfielder so Levy should just pay the asking price or risk losing him to another team that will pay the fee without quibbling

My view is that if you’re gonna play with this type of player, you need two, or else you’re completely screwed if they’re injured or out of form. Never buying a proper apprentice to Eriksen in the peak Poch years always hurt us as we had no other conductor if he wasn’t on it.

I would imagine Udogie would be used as someone who underlaps our winger and gets forward. With our two centre backs and right back pushing over and Hojbjerg/Skipp/Bentancur dropping deep.

I think in attack we're ultimately going to look like this :

ST
LW... Udogie..... CM.... RW
CM........................
#6
CB.............................CB..........RB
​
Overloads, unpredictability but more importantly always someone available. Udogie underlapping. Wingers staying wide, though when they come inside in between the lines, Udogie drops a tad deeper and a bit wider. Lone 6 to control but also capable of dropping between the centre halves.

Helluva ask that, I suppose if we are more possession based it has far greater chance of working but that team is asking to be picked off on transition, if Ange wants his no8 to play in the half space and pop up in the box then I don't see how he is going to play at LB as well.

City used to play like that with Cancelo and Pep saw that they were easily countered and changed it.
