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

    The decision, I feel will rest on the player himself. If he wants Spurs for a few grand a week more I'd question his ambition and we dodge a bullet. We are in the up, maybe offer a bonus to the player himself on personal terms based in table position. Spurs might offer a crazy fee but if the player doesn't want to go it won't happen.

    I agree. If it’s true that Maddison wants to go to Spurs ahead of us when we have CL football and they aren’t in Europe at all then I categorically don’t want us to try and sign him.

    I think those running the show at Leicester will be getting zero sleep these nights - desperate to maximise Maddison’s price but knowing that if we or Spurs walk away, the one year left on his contract and Chimpo football will weigh heavy.

    I'd say we're already playing hardball on it with the fact we're going after this Tonali.

    If Spurs pull out, I could see Leicester come begging to be honest and we end up getting him cheaper but with add ons.
