James Maddison

Not a player I rate massively highly so if its going to take £50m+ to get him, Saudi Sportswashing Machine are welcome to him in my mind.

I get that he's HG....just seems a lot of money for what he brings in my view.

I think Paqueta is better, but if we dont have the non HG slots even once we've shifted players out, I'd rather spend £25m on the next up and coming English AM who is say 20ish years old, than £50m on Maddison. No idea who that player is as I don't spend my life scouting future players for Spurs!

GHod, Remember how Leicester and their recruitment was the envy of everyone. Now they seem to be in the s**t, with no signings and half a squad out of contract soon.

To be fair, that to do with overall financial problems, not recruitment per se

I think both points are valid.

Their recruitment has been fine, but more long term focused - also fine obviously. But the problems with that, particularly with financial limitations is that its difficult to maintain short term results over time when there are needs in the squad.

For Leicester I guess that's more or less fine, they can live with some seasons further down the table. But it highlights the difficulties of maintaining results and success on a limited budget.

Still, someone behind the scenes should have been quicker off the mark to clock just how many players were on contracts that expired at the same time. A few quiet 1 year extensions should not have been beyond their wit.

Tbf i think they'd be happy for some of those players to walk. Their wage bill compared to turnover is one of the worst in the prem.
