But he hadnt posted the numbers yet to prove what he was about and I'm not sure would have been seen as a marquee signing at that time.
Maddison signed for Leicester the year after we moved out of WHL?

Imagine those 3 together
So true, also thats the point of Angeball, unless I'm mistaken
100m on Johnson and Gallagher.
If Ange hadn’t won 2 games and made the football look good, that statement would look absolutely mental.
The first part seems plausible.
Are we even talking possible window transfers anymore or resorting to talk of yesteryear and guessing how Postecoglou feels?
Maddison moved to Leicester in June 2018, when Poch was manager.
Levy's always been keen on Maddison but despite us being linked it seems Poch not that keen - possibly because we still had Eriksen that time and Poch fixated upon getting Frenkie de Jong who turned us down to wait for Barcelona who he joined a year later in 2019
Frenkie de Jong admits he nearly joined Tottenham before Barcelona move
New Barcelona signing Frenkie de Jong has revealed he was tempted to join Tottenham last summer.
Another myth shot down !
Defo tomorrow
Levy is waiting for the decimal point to go in, at 8.6m it's a deal.The Rodrygo rumour won't go away
Tottenham eye double swoop for Real Madrid and Barcelona pair
Tottenham transfer news: Spurs could find themselves with a massive double La Liga haul by the end of the weekwww.football.london
But now Spanish outlet Nacional (via Football365) claim that Tottenham have sent a bid of £86million ($110million) to Real Madrid in order to acquire the services of winger Rodrygo on a permanent basis.

What the fuck are you on about? I'm not debating whether or not Pochettino wanted him, I'm saying that its the type of signing we were capable of making pre new stadium.
It is what it is. Your sense of surprise or dismay won't change that.
I'm saying that this type of signing profile is not something that was out of our reach before we built our megaplex.
Is Baleba the next Caicedo? I don’t know much about him
Yes we were capable of signing a young james Maddison who had just completed a loan move to Coventry playing 11 times for them.
Thats not the discussion.
The discussion is could we have bought James Maddison, 5th best creative midfielder in the prem, whilst at the old WHL
Sadly , yes absolutely agree.
Bossed La Liga for a season with good g/a but totally shown up to be weak in PL
Yes. That's what I'm saying. Absolutely. 100%. Without doubt.
We were consistently in the top 4 for years pre new WHL and even challenged for the league. Maddison would've jumped at the chance to join us back then and we absolutely had the resources to land him still.
Our only competition for his signature was Newcastle. Everyone else had alternate options or already have creative mids.
VDV is kind of the platonic ideal here, a big name and very fun to watch attacking flair player pounced upon out of nowhere on deadline day.
That was fun! And really worked out too.
Adjusting for inflation, his fee makes the numbers for Gallagher and Johnson look like bargains.Fuck it! I was hoping this wasn't an article from 4 years ago....
Both HG, Gallagher has around 100 PL games, Johnson has 40 from around 40 available to him. Both have decent stats and pass the eye test. Both know the league, know Tottenham and seem to be wanted by the coach.
Yet people are losing their fucking minds over their fees. I bet those same fans were collectively pissing themselves because we signed some prick who PSG bought, loaned out twice then sold, then the club that bought him sold him in a matter of weeks. We were utterly conned.
