does anyone else think the Maddison chase was to keep the media off the scent and we were really working on Paqueta?

It just seems strange to me that its all gone very quiet on Paqueta and the offers we are putting in for Maddison are well short of Leicester's valuation.

I mean, we put in a couple of low ball offers knowing full well Leicester would reject and the media are all over it but in reality we are tying up a deal for Paqueta.

IF Leicester had accepted, it would have been a bargain for us, his goals last season made the difference from them finishing top 8 and finishing 16th.
