Except there is.

Oh come on! That's just being effing greedy.

Great positive ITK today on Spence and Maddison and it’s again so clear we have a very strong but fluid plan which is so refreshing.

Tbh I don’t think wanting or hoping for more signings after/if we finalise Spence is ‘greedy’ at all, the 6 we have made were completely needed if we wanted to have a squad to start to compete on 4 fronts which Conte will want to do asap however I’m not suprised in the slightest to see that we are still targeting at least a CB and AM on top of these 6 because again, Conte and FP don’t mess around!!

Conte wants squads to give him a chance in every competition he is in immediately and with the 5 sub rule as well the absolute minimum we need is top quality 2 in each position.

So far after Spence we will still have a gap in terms of a top 6th CB option and a top 6th attacking option and I don’t think Conte will rest or be happy until we have at least those 2 in place so 8 total.

THEN anything else can be a ‘bonus’ right now 5/6 is good but it’s actually still not where Conte will want the squad to be, the gap to City and Lpool in terms of our quality and depth was huge make no mistake about that, but luckily Conte & FP know a thing or two about building a title and trophy winning squad. Together they bought 10 players in Contes first summer at Juve, what happened? They went from 7th to 1st and then won about 10 titles in a row, not saying we will do that haha but just saying they have pedigree in building trophy capable winning squads.

Keep the good news ? rolling , enjoy the ride ? and thanks again to the great ITK updates today and throughout this brilliant very unspurslike transfer window ? ⚽️

This is turning into the transfer window of our dreams! COYS ???

Getting Maddison would mean getting 3 of the best players at rival PL clubs (bissouma/Brighton and richy/Everton the others). Would be unprecedented for us. Proper big club behaviour to damage domestic rivals. Seems this one would be the hardest deal to do though.

Agree. I think going into the window a top drawer CB would have been one of the priorities (Lenglet doesn't really fit that bill). If anything some of the signings we have already made feel like the nice bonuses.

Sorry, I'm confused about what is actually being said here?

Nelsons = Nelson Eddy's = Readies

That is, we won't miss out on Maddison because we're being tight with the cash (unless Leicester are being unreasonable)

Thanks. So I'm assuming the "can't see Maddison happening" was by another poster, not ValYid?

Which would seem to imply that either Maddison might not be keen (boo) or we have another target that we would prioritize over him if it comes off (yay)

 

[Col_M]

There’s me thinking Mendelas. Fellas. Meaning Maddison and his “team”

 

[djhotspur]

Or Leicester won’t let him go……

Much more likely Leicester are determined to keep him...particularly if its YT they've decided to sell

The club us now on a different trajectory, delayed due to COVID. Its now not a question of fighting for top 4 but cementing that position, aiming higher and finally for silverwear.

The club is thinking and acting differently, now the fans need to get in that mindset too??

Which is odd when only one season ago we appointed Nuno
