Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
So does everyone, including Utd fans.
And he’s not the type of funny haha cunt that richarlison is. He really seems like a douchebagI know, it'd be like signing Prince Joffrey
Re the comments about wearing red
Stadium being filled with paying supporters, revenue streams from sponsorships, other revenue streams associated with stadium whether non Spurs sports, exhibitions and conferences etc all coming on stream over last 12 months as covid restrictions were relaxed have been the turning point.
Had covid not hit we would have spent more from 2 years ago.
Can’t see us spending 120m on 2 players that won’t start regularly.
Not saying we will because I'm sure Chelsea would get him, but if we got Maddison he starts for us on the right, he player their for Leicester last season
At his age, you'd have thought the IF WE WERE ever in for him he'd have taken less money and the possibility of CL footie.
If conversations were ever done with him and his agent i would think lack of guaranteed playing time would have swayed him against a move.
Looking at the character of player Conte is now looking for then he possibly wouldn't have been a good fit.
Finally looking at the pre-season training in South Korea, Eriksen's doctor may have said hell no to the move?
Sounds like Leicester need to raise money
Woolwich bids for Tielseman now circa 20m versus 40m Leicester wanted. So now Leicester need to price other players 'to go' , hence our renewed interest in Maddison 'at the right price'
Best clean those eyes thenwe have the nelsons
If we go for Maddison, Chelsea will hijack it, Maddison very close with Chilwell
I’m sure Conté is going to be more than happy to play against a team with Ronaldo, Bruno and Eriksen in it.
I found this.
James Maddison is set to face Tottenham this weekend when his Leicester host the north London club on Saturday evening.
But it could have been very different for the 22-year-old midfielder.
That’s because Spurs actually almost signed Maddison back in 2015 only to walk away from the €400,000 move.
Three years ago Maddison was starring for Coventry in League One with former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp recommending him to the club.
The White Hart Lane side were in pole position to land the then teenage sensation, but eventually rejected the signing with chairman Daniel Levy wanting to move away from buying young talent in the lower leagues.
That had always been Tottenham’s policy, with the likes of Gareth Bale, Kyle Waker and Dele Alli all joining from the Football League.
But unfortunately for Maddison, he was a tad too late to the party, with the summer of 2015 being the turning point for Spurs and their policy of looking for more established names.
Maddison himself eventually went to Norwich before signing for Leicester earlier this year in a deal worth €25m.
He’s now firmly established as a genuine Premier League talent and earned his first England call-up in November.

2 years left on his contract, right? (And Leicester look like less of a decent place to be than a year ago IMO)
I definitely could see it happening, but yeah they'd demand a high price. Having said that, we managed to go out and nab Richarlison.
Nkunku has already stated that he's staying another season at RB Leipzig. And, if/when he should become avilable Spurs would be up against Bayern, Real M., Man City...
