Perhaps a needless bump, but he's out today with a "muscular twinge". Leicester are most likely protecting him, but at the same time he might be protecting himself if a last minute move were to present itself.

Pretty sure they don’t need to sell with 75M in their pocket from Fofana.

Maybe not but if you put the bid in perhaps unsettle him a bit you don't know - a player who would make a real difference - we are so passive in the market
I don’t think you can say with any certainty that we are passive - we’ve signed 7 players and are still seeing who is available that fits what Conte wants. Just because we haven’t signed a player you want doesn’t mean we aren’t working on deals that haven’t been reported yet.

We heard after Spence that the club was pissed off about the leak, so had tightened up.
Just because we're not hearing anything doesn't mean anything.
Do you think Paratici is sat twiddling his thumbs, waiting for his phone to ring?

It seems to me we got our main business done early.

Richarlison, Perisic, Lenglet, Bissouma, Udogie, Spence and Forster were all pretty straightforward deals to do as the players were available no one better than us appeared interested.

We're now working on player sales and Paratici doesn't appear to be someone who sits back twiddling his thumbs waiting for stuff to happen. There is no doubt in my mind that we are working on deals but who we get will partly depend on who we sell and if the players become available.

Sorry for the bump, but a&c hinted that hercs latest post might be a cryptic. Could be totally wrong on this btw.
I really wish some of us would wake up. - Stir
I’m not happy, - mad
and don’t buy everything the club wants us to believe. - lie
Sorry for being so blunt. - James

Liestir - Leicester
James mad - Madison
??‍♂️

It wasn't a cryptic unfortunately lol

I like the working out but A+C said if we worked out what he was on about it would be nuclear as the name causes chaos... im not sure any player has caused as much debate as Traore the last couple of seasons so as much as I hope you are right I have a feeling its Traore and Herc's not happy with us signing him.

It's not a cryptic, just @herc's posting style.

Masson has every time we get linked to him due to his past comments

Glad we didnt sign him for the prices people have been banding about.

Hes a tidy player but hes not one to lift and drive a team, thats what makes richarlison such a good signing and the one thing thats missing from maddison.

Plus he will be a lot cheaper when they are relegated...

He's the closest English player for the De Bruyne role in terms of positioning. I thought he was fantastic against us. Sets their tempo going forward, you can see why top 6 clubs would take him..

No matter how much of a **** you believe Maddison to be, I fail to see how anyone can say - with a straight face - that he isn’t at least somewhat decent.
