Thoughts on Transfer business ?

[Smig123]

Looking like  Connor Coady and Harry winks coming in .

Maddison on his toes which is no surprise.  Is 40m good business? What are you thoughts? 

[Nalis]

Big thing for me is getting a move on with our transfers early doors instead of leaving our transfer action far too late last season and paying the price, assuming the three you've mentioned go through soon.

Happy with Coady not with Winks. Maddison was always going to go.

Based on how these things usually pan out on the socials and Winks being reported on the BBC they are pretty close in my opinion 

[coolhandfox]

Nothing has happened yet 

[StriderHiryu]

Paying a bit too much, but both are good signings for a team chasing promotion. Good to get some business done early too.

[eblair]

Think it stinks of same errors that got us Bertrand, vestergaard and perez

 

 

[BrianSwan]

Winks + Cairney in midfield. Perfect for a possession football style in the Champ.

[turlo]

Conor Coady will be a decent signing and has leadership quality that we lack. The Jury is out on Winks as dropped off after his initial breakthrough a few years ago + has an iffy injury record. Madders deal was OK considering the situation we are and world cup winner Macallister also went to Liverpool for less

[goose2010]

Experienced players coming in that have quality and leadership qualities too.

 

Bring some exciting talent in on loan and clear the crap that don't care and we have ourselves a good window. 

[LVFox]

I have no issue with either Winks or Coady but think we are overpaying on both. If we get promoted then it really doesn't matter but we it's a large investment for a championship club if we end up not going back up in the next year or two

[Iran]

Looks to be very promising, though no players are officially signed as of yet.

[bigstu]

40 mill for Madders is not bad , if it buys us Coady , Winks, Piroe and Carney . Then sell Ndidi ,Castagne , And Praet , and buy players who want to play for us , help bring the youngsters on 

[Joe90lcfc]

Coady, winks, and piroe would be a really good start tbf, really need a winger  to replace Barnes that would make it perfect

make that 2, we still have replaced mahrez yet

[iancognito]

I'll let you know when the window shuts. A deal and a half is a bit early to comment 😆

[LFox99]

Like that we're moving quickly

Don't like that we've spunked half the Maddison fee on a 27 yr old CM who's best moments were back in 2017 and a 30 yr old CB who got benched at two different bottom half clubs last season.

Don't get me wrong, I understand Coady and the need we have for players like him but 7.5m (+1m) is yet again an overpay. Everton had an option to sign him for 4.5m and didn't, how the **** have we managed to pay double that

[TheLittleBigMan]

There's a long way to go yet. Coady wasn't wanted by a relegation team or the club he was loaned from let alone any of the newly promoted teams, and winks has been playing Serie b and missed a lot through injury. These are not stellar signings even for a championship club, more of a risk than anything and they are not coming cheap. Like the look of the Swansea striker we are after more than these other two.

Like has been mentioned a million times before, Everton likely paid 3 million as a loan fee.  3 plus 4.5 is 7.5

[SK3Blue]

Coady looks like an excellent signing at this level. 

Not sure what's happened to Winks, Southgate described him as a great box to box player but it all seems to have gone a bit Dele Alli for him. 

 

Not bothered about Maddison, Spurs is a perfect fit for the up and down form player that he is. I can't deny he is quality, but when we needed him most, he went missing. 

[KIRBYFOX93]

Coady and winks are good signings, but we do need a creative midfielder now madders has gone. I’d also like a plan B if we want to go long, to switch up style effectively.

It’s sensible and decent  business without being exciting. Cody will think he has a promotion in him and has good all round team ethic. Winks is interesting, he will be hungry to prove himself again after Spurs. Just hope with transfer fees and wages we are not overpaying .. then again Rudkin is still in the house !

I like Coady coming in not Winks. Wanted more for Maddison. There is a percentage going to Norwich with Maddison going. 

[Out Foxed]

The fact more teams aren't coming in for maddison is a bit bizarre. i guess there are injury worries but his stats even with repeated injuries put him among the best english players in the league.
