Macca going nowhere is the rumour I heard from a mate who knows his mates 3rd cousin by marriage!
I reckon I could find one fan from every club in the EFL who would tell me that they are signing Macca. I wouldn't believe any of them.
1.5 mill + Vardy
While he did dry up over the last few games I wouldn't say he went missing. The opposition closed him down and we very rarely got the ball into the right place for him (a foretaste of L2?). His game is based on running onto a ball and we were forced into a possession game around the edges of a packed defensive third. Couldn't fault his work rate trying though.
Simple fact of the matter is that unlike Rodders, Cameron and Nemane, Langstaff is under contract and can only leave if the club receives a bid it considers worthwhile accepting. Given that Jamie Vardy commanded a £1 million fee when he moved from non-league Fleetwood to Leicester 12 years ago, since when transfer fees have risen further, that gives a fair idea of what price range we're talking about, plus significant sell-on clauses.
Of course Macauley will have his price and the speculation will only intensify going forward, but if we do cash in it needs to be for an amount that gives us significantly increased spending power of our own.
This. I really hope we can keep him because I think he's another with a top notch attitude. However, we did struggle for shots on target at the end of the season and in the playoffs. Whether that's down to other teams sussing out LW's style, or just us not being able to overcome 10 players behind the ball playing a quick press, OR a dip in form from ML and RR, or all of the above, it's hard to say exactly.
LW is such an exciting manager right now. With Macca, or with the money from Macca's sale, t's going to be hugely interesting to see how and what Williams does next season.
