Maddison (16 Viewers)

[Major Tom]

If Spurs get relegated or either way do we make a bid for Maddison .. injuries aside which we know players can recover from in today’s game, he has the experience, quality and connection to be a good fit for us if we get promoted.

I get the idea and it’s crossed my mind but he’s injury prone. The one he has at the minute is a bad one too

Why - just because he’s an ex player?

 

[hill83]

What’s Carl Baker up to these days?

 

[covboy9]

Hell no

hamer 6mill yes Maddison no

wouldn’t mind Wilson pay as you play

Spurs won’t go down

 

[DT-R]

Imagine rotation between Maddison and Rudoni in the 10 role.

I’d take soucek if West Ham went

Prefer Bowen but he'll go to one of the giants

 

[Martw]

Spurs won’t go down

I don't see two of Burnley Forest or West Ham overtaking them so agree with you...

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

He has got that natural ability that could really help us in a difficult season, but he just seems to be injured all the time now and his wages would likely be astronomical.

On a similar note, I was wondering if Son might be tempted? He seems to have a bit of a soft spot for us. Is getting on a bit now though, in semi-retirement in the MLS and again wages would probably be pretty steep.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yes!!!!

 

[Paxman II]

No, not strong enough for us.

He's on over 100k a week.
We're not paying anyone anywhere near that

 

[shmmeee]

Our squad next season if SBT picked the players:

 

[PVA]

He's on over 100k a week.
We're not paying anyone anywhere near that

Not since Palmer left

Leeds are paying players over 100k/week it’s the going rate

He’s a bit more than just and ex player plus the other two reasons i gave

 

[clint van damme]

We won't. And it's not the going rate, there isn't a going rate, the range of salaries is huge.

That's not yo say you're wrong that Leeds are paying players 100k but I doubt everyone in their squad us on anything near that

 

[Alkhen]

Cheeky 1 year loan whilst Spurs do their "League 1 Championship Tour"

Maddison is on £170/week Calvert
Lewis at Leeds is on £100k .. Xhaka Sunderland is on £110k . It’s what you need to pay to inject quality into your side. Would def’ be our max but the ceiling is high.
Just seen Man City squad 50% are on £100k - £550k per week .. mental

 

[covcity4life]

Would love maddison back

Just for the full circle healing element.

Lets say we could pay him 100k a week (we can’t)

Why would he agree to take an almost 50% wage cut to play for a team that will very likely be relegated anyway?

If we go up and Spurs go down they would still be more likely to be a premier league team in 27/28 than we would.

I’d take soucek if West Ham went

Legs have gone …..

I wonder what our maximum wage will be should we go up ?

Hard to know isn’t it

I think people should temper expectations though- suspect our summer will look closer to Luton’s than Sunderland’s (IF we go up).

We are far bigger than luton , we will do better than they did

I know its hard but luton are luton

 

[skybluecam]

Financially I think we’re more similar than not.

All our business will have to be sensible in case of relegation. King can’t bankroll us like the Sunderland bloke.

£40k

According to their books they spent 84.9 and made a 49 mill profit

They never wanted to survive nor did they really try

 

[Evo1883]

£40k

Going to be a struggle

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

£40k

Not going to people good enough with that.

Best we can hope for is offer highish wages (say 75k a week) but they agree to take a hefty pay cut in Champ if we go down but we reduce our fee if they do.

Fans always get so hung up on "x player earns £££s at this club, why would he take less at another"?

There's plenty of reasons players can/will/do take pay-cuts. Just because a player is on £170 at spurs, that doesnt mean theyll NEVER play for less anywhere else.

Injury, age, more game time, sentiment. There are many reasons why a player would take a pay-cut. Why would Rashford agree to reduce his wage of £315k a week at Utd to £190k a week at Barca? No reason AT ALL, yet he has.

Paddy Bamford was on £70k a week at Leeds, but the fact he was ready to sign for us (not a chance were we offering 50% of that) suggested he was happy to take a huge pay-cut to play football.

Jack Greilish will likely NEVER get a pay deal like Man City pay him. So when he leaves them, does he take or pay-cut? Nah, might aswell give up playing football altogether rather than take a huge pay-cut.

*edit, this isnt me saying we're gonna sign Maddison, just that a player taking a pay-cut isnt that crazy an idea!

If they hadn't capitulated that 3-0 lead against Forest they'd have most likely stayed up. They were making a decent fist of it until then.

Small margins.
