We passed on Maddison twice as we were sniffing around when Norwich sold him but didn’t think he was worth £25m
Now it will cost us £60m
Still though Son and Kane cost £22m combined, so you win some and you lose some
Not much idea who Zaniola is but would prefer Maddison. Ticks more boxes.

All this talk of Maddison & Zaniola… Neither are going to happen.
Why spend serious money, when there’s the option of Dybala & Lingard for free?!!!

Dybala has signed for Roma by various reports.

Grealish was the more stupid pass but hindsight is a wonderful thing. Talent is one thing but attitude is important too. The club may have felt at the time that both Maddison and Grealish were a bit billy big bollllllllocks and they would have been right.
If we got every transfer decision right, we'd be top of the league. No one does.
It's strange how great signings are the club's idea but if we passed on a top player or signed a dud it was always Poch's fault. It's a weird theory given how none of us really know what went on. He doesn't half get an unnecessary bashing sometimes, Poch.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is not immune to criticism. He was no where perfect. Look at him now. Where does he go?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course he's not immune to criticism but equally he shouldn't be labelled with the entire responsibility for buying duds. He was always labelled first team coach, not manager, much to his dismay, which suggests he wasn't the ultimate decision maker when it came to recruitment. he would have been consulted but he was never backed with the kinds of sums Jose and Conte are. He had one window of spending a little more than usual and signed Ndomblele and Lo Celso. Sure, they were terrible but do we really think he sanctioned both, or demanded both?
He's definitely responsible for not wanting to work under a director of football which ultimately let us down once Poch left but to hold him responsible for bad signings after taking us where he did is strange. No manager is perfect. When Ferguson tried to budget he signed Kleberson, Taibi and Djemba Djemba. It happens. What's more important is what the squad achieved on his watch.
Gary Jacob saying we are interested in Zaniolo. Good
Point taken there are a few players out there we could have or can have for free who play or can play the AM role. So not unreasonable to think why we need to spend upwards of £40m for player thay in all reality will not play much in a Conte system......
If we are going for Zaniolo then Conte must have abandoned the whole player maker plan b, off the bench player. Zaniolo would hopefully come into the forward rotation.
I'm happy with that.

Saw him in the final when he scored the winning goal. He looks powerful and ran all day. Reminded me Zanetti in his style of play.
TBH I only want him because I don't want Maddison because he is woolwich fan. Fook him. Ask Del Boy.

Who cares what he tweeted when he was 16 years old?
I'd be careful going down that road. He might deny it but you could argue Kane was an Arsenal fan. Why else would you wear their gear? Jamie Carragher was a die hard Everton fan before coming through the ranks at Liverpool. It happens. I couldn't care less as long as they do the business for us.
I care about the content of the tweets. 16 is not a kid. Kids are way smarter now adays. He knows what he was doing and I don't believe in 9 years he has changed.
Anyone who rated Jack Wheelchair as a player whilst saying Gareth Bale was chit, can stay the the fook out of my club.
Kane was 11 or 12 when he joined Spurs. That is acceptable to the laws of LukaBrasi. Now I must go for a swim.
too risky with that injury record. plenty of good players around who we could sign who dont have that concern

You could argue that any fan denying a talented footballer a move to a club on the grounds of social media activity at 16 years old some ten years later, is displaying the very juvenile behaviour they take issue with.

I don't care what the breakdown is, it's not a good deal. Maddison is by the far the better player.
I really, really hope that if we do go for Zaniolo it's because we're more hopeful on someone like Bastoni so we're going for the cheaper option for the attacking midfielder to reserve funds for the LCB.
What is Maddison does not want to come to us or Leicester are asking for silly money. They can both do one.
YOLO on Zaniolo
