The Goon Thread

Be a shame if they sign Maddison he will improve them. And we don’t want to see that.

He will improve them but leave them significantly poorer than an equivalent overseas player would. Not all bad.

 

[Kandi1977]

Would fit right in! Loves the mirror and Instagram more than hard work on the football pitch.

 

[Baleforce]

He’s basically Jack Wheelchair v2, injured more often than not, his fans keep saying he’s like Gascoigne, but other than the odd MotD moment he doesn’t actually do that much.

Oh, and he’s an illiterate clam.

 

[JerusalemMan]

Do you honestly reckon they can afford him ??
Not a chance

Maitland-Niles + cash is how they're apparently wanting to do it

Why would Maddison want to go? Unless he’s being ushered out? which tells its own story.

Leicester squad is clearly better than Arsenals and just look at the signings so far, Daka and Soumare against 2 more left backs (their strongest position anyway) and a 19 yo Belgium midfielder noones heard of.

Smith Rowe signed a new 5 year deal for them today, he is a talent

No idea , seeing loads about him wanting to go there. Agree Leicester are a far better squad.

200k a week? Standard

Top reporting this from Sky !!

Arsenal interested in James Maddison but deal would require bid in excess of £70m with Leicester having no intention to sell

Ben White done, 50m!

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Annoying, seems like a good player.

On the flip side that’s a big lump of wedge for competition for Tierney? What about the other LB they just signed as well. Surely this means it eats in to the budget for areas they actually need strengthening in?

He can play CB and holding Mid. I do believe he’s a pretty versatile player. Looks decent. Not a bad signing for them . Tierney tends to pick up a few injuries as well

 

[parklane1]

Not sure he is worth that kind of money to be honest, i guess we will see.

Definitely overpaid for current ability - but he has room to grow and good versatility; could easily be there for ten years as a solid player.

Do not disagree and he may turn out to be a star, a lot of money for potential though. I guess we will see.

 

[Kandi1977]

They need to overpay, both in transfer fees and salaries. Otherwise no (decent) player would consider joining the Lego man team.

 

[metalgear]

Overpay for young, English above average, proven player and International? Sounds right to me. Safe choice in a key part of the team too.

With Kane possibly on strike, and all the other shenanigans going on, it's nice to see that our neighbours are clinging on to their "star" players
