Lambert09 Posted 19 June 2023 Share Posted 19 June 2023 (edited) Apparently arsenal had a shortlist of mount havertz and maddison. Mount wasn’t interested in them and obviously now they are targeting havertz. Can’t comprehend how they could think 60m for him is better spent than 45 on maddison. Is it just my blue tinted specs? A better player than both havertz and Mount imho (i don’t think arsenal have a direct need for maddison btw… but I don’t think they have one for mount of havertz either) Edited 19 June 2023 by Lambert09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison is very much an Odegaard similarity, whereas Havertz can play that role, a 10 and a 9. Havertz also proven at a much higher level, scoring the winner in the CL final. Whereas our Maddison does like to go missing in those games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royston. Posted 20 June 2023 Share Posted 20 June 2023 We should offer maddison to man utd for 30 million and then get Enzo to call Pep and get him to bid 35... Utd do a maguire and offer us 100 million 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lionator Posted 20 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 20 June 2023 Imo he doesn’t get into the top teams (even Newcastle) first XI and where would he fit into Spurs’s system? I honestly don’t see that many good moves for him if I’m honest. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jv1 Posted 20 June 2023 Share Posted 20 June 2023 I wouldnt be surprised to see this one done before the weekend- im pretty sure agreement already in place and everything will break today/tomorrow so he can go on hols with the family before pre season- £50m plus add ons- expect to see him at a ground holding another shirt with that pathetic grin by end of day thursday- best wishes and lets get this rebuild started 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely brilliant player, sometimes I wonder what other fans see when they criticise him. Same with Mahrez here is his pomp, I'm convinced if a 25yo Messi played for us he'd have his critics. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahrez produced his best when we needed it most. Harsh as it sounds, Maddison didn't. Simple as that really. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyblueeyes Posted 20 June 2023 Share Posted 20 June 2023 I get the feeling Madders isnt really feeling Newcastle. He has a young family and has recently done up his house. Travelling from Leicestershire to London is far easier than Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Claw II Posted 20 June 2023 Share Posted 20 June 2023 My guess is Newcastle will pay what we want while Spurs won’t. I can see why Newcastle want it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I appreciate they are still human, they aren't really troubled in the same way most of us are. With virtually an unlimited budget to buy homes, and teams of people paid to pander to their every whim. I'm sure there biggest concern is probably more to do with where their families are, visiting etc. But on £200,000k a week or so, it's an easily solvable problem if they really want to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they might have to curb it a bit and circumstances are different because we're npower, but this is a club that had Everton over a barrell and still paid what, £50m for Anthony Gordon? Spurs will almost definitely test the water with a bid of monopoly money but Newcastle strike me as a club that will simply pay a price to get their targets in and get their house in order early doors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I remember when he signed for us one (of I am sure many) contributing factors was being close to his family in Coventry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 20 June 2023 Share Posted 20 June 2023 I imagine it will be £40million plus £5million in add-ons. I think that is fair value for both sides and hopefully can get done quickly. Newcastle is the best move for him. He will start every week and has a chance to prove himself in the Champions League. Spurs are going nowhere, per usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 20 June 2023 Share Posted 20 June 2023 He's in an interesting situation at the minute. Ideally for him this either needs to be done and dusted in the next week or so, or things will get complicated. Twins due imminently to add to his son already, so he's not going to want much upheaval on top of all that. I don't think he or his partner are fussed by London, they always seem to hang out in Manchester in their downtime. As we know he likes being near family but both his options don't really match that. Just get the feeling this one could really drag out, to the point where he might play a game or two for us next season. Might be completely wrong of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be completely wrong of course I just don’t want to get into a fofana situation again. If it drags on we should probably just keep him away from the squad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The location doesnt affect the players a jot. They have a luxury flat or hotel at the club of their choice and drivers/planes to whisk them back home when they want.
