It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Keeper!]

All down to RB Leipzig. No one predicted the Akjani signing. Chelsea decided their valuation was too excessive despite the lengthy talks to Gvardiol's agent. The Haaland move didn't happen overnight and the club decided the release clause was the better option. I am not ruling out another defender coming in but I am not 100% convinced its Gvardiol who is still too rough round the edges to become a top defender.

Far too much speculation on this deal , history says when that happens so does the deal.

From where? RB Lepzig have denied he is going anywhere before our game. His agent may leak snippets but the same thing happened to Chelsea when the tried doing a deal last summer.

Still believe a natural winger and moving Grealish centrally would suit a lot. Already has what it takes to play there, doesn't lose the ball, good in tight spaces and finding players

Also good at tracking back, very much a team player

Think it’s wether we think Foden is ready for midfield or not. If he is we buy maddison if not we buy Kovacic.

Why does everyone believe that all players will be off to Madrid in 5 years? If that was the case, Madrid would be stacked?

Players want to play in Spain good weather and past glory. Barca is pretty much finished so Madrid is the big pull for players towards the end of their careers

I really do like Maddison and would not be opposed to him.

Watching him here against Chelsea and best player on the pitch again.

Always able to create and resist the press.

My big concern going into the summer is creativity as we can all see past Kev no one can really provide for Earling, losing 2 central no.8 and Kev on the decline I’d be tempted to sign him and the heir to Gio to cover the creativity.

Ad those to Jude and Jasko and that would revitalise our squad.

I’m still very curious who the bigger fish is that @tolmie's hairdoo eluded to when he referenced Maddison in January.

I think he’d just bought a large cod from the Golden Dragon

Most likely Jude no? Don't think we're after a player with a bigger profile than him atm. (Unless it's Messi, i'd like it to be Messi)

Preferred option for next season?
