Tuna Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Why do we all take these figures as read? It will be undisclosed when announced, lets see if Percy/Tanner etc have anything to add on this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK3Blue Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 (edited) Made a big contribution overall, just didn't show up in the run in when we desperately needed him to. Wish him all the best, could have been even better but for injuries and that loss of confidence he had around the time of the birth of his first child. Don't see him doing much at Spurs, some way behind Grealish now who he was comparable with 5 years ago. Edited 27 June 2023 by SK3Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywood_6 Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 I wanted 50 million. 40 million is cheap for Maddison. Understand why we've accepted it though. We have to get on with this rebuild sooner rather than later. Only just over a month until the season starts so it can't wait much longer. We need to move on.

StanSP Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Getting this done early means we'll be able to see some new faces in fairly soon. I think (as well as Coady and Winks), we'll probably have a couple more in by end of next week. Means we don't have to rush to sell Barnes now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically great player that epitomises Rodgers time here with poor mentality. I don’t think he’s got the quick football brain to push himself to the levels of a KDB. That’s not a dig in a weird way, as not many will ever be that level. He’ll do well for Tottenham, however will be be more Sigurðsson (who was a standout for Swansea then flopped), or Eriksen who was routinely good but incredibly frustrating. Tottenham without Kane though, aren’t a top 4 side. They’ll have even less chance if winning trophies. I wish him well and I might be wrong, however for £200k a week, the market has much better value. I think Newcastle may have dodged a bullet. Won't shed a tear about any of last seasons players leaving!.. Maddison is a show pony and goes missing when the going gets tough!! Won't be remembered fondly by me and the overwhelming memory I'll have of him is that pathetic penalty against Everton!! He better look after that FA Cup winners medal.. That'll be it I reckon.

joeybside Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Disappointed in every aspect of this. That he's gone The fee Of everything that's happened the last couple of years. the only solace is it's money in the bank and our rebuild is now beginning with hopefully better days one day soon to return. I genuinely loved him as a player once. Say thru gritted teeth all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 He did well for us but just not feeling it with so many of these players. Not entirely their fault because Rodgers did his best to ruin football enjoyment but they still contributed. He's been great value for money but won't really miss him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox in the North Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Cant complain at £40m plus add ons for a player with one year left. Thanks you Madders, apart from this season, it’s been bloody lovely having a player of his quality. I’ll miss the interviews too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is worth way more to us in the Championship for 12 months than that. Fair, although wages and player desire will come into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 20 minutes ago, CloudFox said: You might be overegging it a bit there. Personally, I have no big problem with him, and I believe all our players deserve respect. It's not just that he said something silly on social media and has been proved wrong that has irked so many. It's also the arrogance of saying what he did, after a game where we got no shots on target. It showed he didn't recognise we were in trouble, which frustrated so many. I think he's just become a bit of a lightning rod as a result of representing exactly how the club/squad were treating the threat of relegation. For those showing actual hatred or dislike for him, I don't think they've liked him from the moment he arrived 😅. But to each their own. He's worth far more than £60m, but relegation has ****ed our chances of getting what he's worth. Mate, read the last few pages. I’m not overegging it. There’s more than one poster saying they used to like him but turned on him specifically because of his social media post 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s clearly split the fan base, as even when I speak to fans outside the Foxestalk circle and fans of other teams, they’re largely indifferent toward him.

Gerard Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 12 minutes ago, Ian Nacho said: Club probably knew it could’ve held out and got an extra £5m-£10m but didn’t want to risk having a Fofana situation again. Glad it’s sorted. Fofana had just signed a new contract so we could afford to dig our heels in and ask for the world as he's still available for a sale the season after. With Maddison we either sold this summer, sold him for relative buttons in January or see him leave for free, our hand was very weak especially with the lack of suitors. With Barnes it is different, we can afford to hold on for our price this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_forever Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Two things on the price: 1. Not in either club's interest to make the price look higher. We don't want to show we have a bigger budget, and Spurs want to show they've got a good price. 2. If it is £40m plus add-ons, wonder if the Winks transfer fee will be lower? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
