James Maddison

[Blood on the Tracks]

Would be easier to just find out who Leicester have lined up to replace Maddison and sign him instead. It would probably save us £40-50m

Leicester are such a well run club, unlike a certain club we could all name.

Ye dropping 30mil on Ayoze frigging Perez, top work.

Why does this forum bug up Leicester like you want Arsenal to be em .. they are a small club from the ****ty Midlands ... Behave yourselfs.. they will never be on our level

I mean, Olise is an obvious choice here. Would be great if we got him regardless. Wasn't he quoted for something like 8 million? Even if he doesn't play for us we could make a profit on him

Lol. Just because Leicester make good signings doesn't mean they don't make bad signings. Every club makes poor signings, Leicester simply get lauded because its Leicester and they don't spend 70M on single players. They've wasted a fair bit of money on the likes of Perez, Under and Praet.

If you really want to envy a clubs business it's City or Liverpool. Rarely ever make dud signings these days.

What's wrong with wanting our club to be well run, have an owner that cares about it, to be proactive on the market and genuinely strives to succeed even if they end up short, me old china?

How much money did they waste on Under?

 

[kash2]

Would rather have him back (if possible) than getting Maddison.

how has he been this season ? Always liked him.

They get it right more often than not and shift their duds out quickly instead of letting them lose value on pointless loans until they have all but the option of paying players to leave.

Don't act like you wouldn't be high as a kite if the transfer window had hardly opened and we managed to sign Daka and Soumaré.

Under was a loan, no?

What you've laid out makes too much sense for Arsenal to do it

 

[g00ner94]

How much money did they waste on Under?

A couple million on a loan fee and they changed the deal to be an option to buy instead of an obligation, no real risk involved

 

[TimoJens]

Under was a loan, no?

Indeed. So it would be nice to know what HairSprayGooners talked about. The loan fee? Nah, that was probably small money if anything.

For the fees involved of course. But I'd still be expecting us to be going big on a ready made signing or two. Leicester do things well for sure.

Apologies I assumed the deal was still an obligation to buy at 17M...

Not feeling Maddison, at £60m we need to buy a player with world class potential not someone who is operating close to his peak and that peak is a good PL player, but nothing special.

He's below: Ramesy, Wilshere, Cesc, Santi, Özil.

You don't win titles with Maddison at the heart of your team. But you might finish 5th like Leicester.

Did his ACL again. Out for a few more months

If Leicester had better players with Maddison in there they wouldn't have a shot at the title?

 

[Alexs]

What does that prove? City might win the title with me in the team.

If Maddison was still the main 10 in their side...

 

[TakeChillPill]

Chelsea signed Havertz for £62m. World class potential, scores the winning in the CL starter for Germany.

The lad will be one of the best players in the league in next 2 years.

He'll be at Madrid or barca for £100m in 3 years.

£60m is an investment....Maddison would be a poor one for that price.
