I think you’re right, we should deal hard. He wants to come by all accounts so that’s 70% of the battle won.
It's not a case of the money for him, as you say, but what we have left in FFP rules to buy other players.

I think Leicester have to cough up £15mill to Norwich according to his contract, so that would keep it up to that level.

Aye, IMO the 15 mill isn't the new buyers problem. Fk em, he'll leave for nought next summer having not played a game in the chimp. Think 30-40 is more than fair.

Seriously, regardless of Leicester being in the championship, MADDISON is a 40 to 50 million player. Yes, Leicester have a problem with only one year left on his contract, but another club will waltz in and spend that on him. Not sure why we are suddenly ion the poor house.

Maybe, but I reckon we need to manage the budget whatever it is to fill our gaps with sufficient quality for a load more games next season. Its all about the numbers for me. If he had another year left and they were still a premier league team then yes, 50 mill but not under their cyrrent circumstances.

What are we talking we need right now, a right footed CB, full back, 2 midfielders attacking and defensive at least. Thats a lot of cheese needed for that lot.

Perhaps, but I don't like our chances of picking him up like a pair of shoes at a ladies shoe clearance

shoe clearance
I get your meaning. He's a quality player who I would like to see in black and white and the classy thing would be to pay his value rather than market value. I'm not that classy tho!!

Rumours now going around that Spuds are preparing a realistic bid.

It's early in the window so I wonder how long Leicester will hold out for competitive bids.
