Looks like a £40 mil fee
Honestly can’t believe this for a few reasons
- reasonable fee
- early in the window
- not too much speculation or drama
Very good business, for once.
Still desperately need to sort out CBs, and I’d like to see more physical strength in midfield, but it’s been a good start to the window for us.
Maddison in mean that winks, lo celso, Tanguy are all out for sure
Leaves us with Madison, peh, Skippy, pape sarr, and when healthy, betancur. That’s some freedom to play a few different styles and could see sarr and betancur flourish
They’re all talented players who add something to our game, for sure, but I guess I just miss the days when we had Dembele in the middle, who you knew you could rely on to resist the press and not get muscled off the ball.
Also Bissouma, who I would also expect to play much much better the upcoming season.
Great signing. Winsky going the other way for 10m is the cherry on the top.
Levy getting business done quickly, a welcome change.
Let’s wrap up a centreback or two and give Big Ange a full preseason with the squad.
I’m genuinely excited about this move. I didn’t catch many Leicester matches but so recall him standing out. Hopefully he fits in well with whatever Ange has in mind for the team.
I think he scratches the itch that we’ve had ever since Eriksen left. We’ve really struggled to be creative in the middle third since he left, and from what I’ve seen of Maddison that’s something he can definitely offer. Feel like this could be an important part of us playing decent football again.
