Transfer Rumours Saint James!

It doesn't need to be much different. All they need to be is better than us - whether slightly or hugely - for them to be more attractive than us on that front.

Plus, there's the opportunity for someone to come in and take Mahrez's mantel. That prospect is quite attractive. (And from Leicester's own point of view, I suspect that will want to push the boat out to ensure as much as possible that they try to cover the loss of Mahrez. Unlike us with Mane, for example.)

 

WIGHT?
You're kidding now... be serious!

 

Wages are limited by the beastie known as "Financial Fair Play"

 

Who? John Percy?

 

Err, something to do with LCFC's current modus operandi being that of BYPASSING midfield more often than not......... so maybe, not such a smart move for a young, skilled, ball-playing midfielder.

 

Problem is Fran, players have agents. And agents don't love money, they worship it.

 

I was using it in the stats sense, but it is anything so far from the norm that it is best ignored.

Outlier
a data point on a graph or in a set of results that is very much bigger or smaller than the next nearest data point.

 

Can't assume that everyone (even agents) are all the same. A good agent wants what is best for his client long term and then gets the best deal under those circumstances. He will know that his earnings from a successful and long career will probably outweigh a single hit that doesn't work. A smart person will soon realise what agent he has....sadly for everyone of those there is a Luke Shaw. And we don't even know what advice he received there either....perhaps it was Luke pushing for an early move. We don't know. And players talk....word gets round about good and bad agents....which you choose will depend on your requirements. Players probably get the agent they deserve.

 

Stats ok then

Yeah, you're right they do go direct a lot of the time. Still hasn't exactly hindered Mahrez in his time there though

 

Mahrez is a winger though.. which is how Leicester Operate.

 

SaintsFan86 beat me to it!
Tactics suit both Mahrez & Vardy...... 'coz it's akin to route one footbal. Quick delivery of long balls which, I would suggest, ain't what Maddison is about.

 

Leicester would have to change their tactic significantly.. and Puels philosophy is quick counter attacking play.. I doubt Maddison would be into that... But who knows eh.

 

Leicester and Everton are also sniffing around = forget it and move on...

 

Doses of Hayfever perhaps?

 

Too cryptic for me mate...sorry.

 

Depends how far we are into a deal....may just be details, may have not made a formal offer...in which case we are in a straight fight with the other two.

Didn't want him anyway, probably his football stinks...

….unless he's joining us

 

Shows how desperate we are when a Saint thread goes up on the back of a rumour in the Sun ffs

 

.....also sniffing around.......... hay fever... sniffles ?
