Bradwell canary 109 Posted May 29, 2019 Just hope we have got a great sell on clause!! Would be a great fit there. always felt he would end up at a top top club. Tottenham will likely have to hand over a sizeable portion of the £70m plus their run to the showpiece occasion in Madrid will net them if they are to snare Maddison. The Mirror claim Leicester will be asking for substantially more than the £22.5m they gave Norwich for the 22-year-old last summer. Maddison scored seven goals and provided seven assists in 36 Premier League appearances for Leicester after heading to the King Power Stadium. And his performances have caught the eye of Pochettino, who is facing the prospect of losing Christian Eriksen to Real Madrid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted May 29, 2019 Had the chance to sign him last summer and they turned it down. Can’t see why they would change their mind now. Also, they have just bid £50m for Lo Celso who plays in the same position. Was told that Leicester wouldn’t mind selling Maddison as he doesn’t really fit Bredan’s preferred system, he’s been played on the wing quite a few times to accommodate others, and they feel Harvey Barnes could be better suited for them. Also they want to sign Tielemens who is going to cost a lot and does a similar job to Maddison. This could be Leicester trying to drum up some interest from a few clubs.

Canary Jedi 570 Posted May 29, 2019 From a pure footballing perspective it is a good fit. Thinking back to past play makers at spurs - Gaza, Hoddle ... he’s got that potential. Now he just needs to record a God-awful pop-song! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggy 739 Posted May 29, 2019 He would be a decent signing for them and a good move for him. They have lacked a bit of creativity at times and if Eriksen does go they’ll need two creative types imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,502 Posted May 29, 2019 Hasnt Maddison created more opportunities than any other player in the prem this past season? At midtable Leicester? Can see why bigger clubs would now be considering him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 512 Posted May 29, 2019 It's been an open secret that Madders could replace Eriksson for the past 12 months. May not happen but a clear like for like imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,156 Posted May 29, 2019 There’s always a question mark whether a champs player can make the step up, and Madders has shown that now, a good fit for Spurs imo. No surprise if a top 6 club is now interested and Leicester decide to cash in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,070 Posted May 29, 2019 i imagine Tottenham only Turned him down as he was still a bit of a gamble and would not have got any game time , Now he has proven he can a top premier player , Can not have dele Ali and Eriksen in the same team though someone must be going Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely the Coventry benefit was within the value for what we had sold Maddison to Leicester for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This will cover any future payments Norwich receive for him as well. So if Norwich get £2m from Leicester should Maddison be sold in the future, for example, a percentage of that would go to Coventry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do those kind of contractual agreements usually have a time limitation, I.e after 3 years it no longer applies? I suppose that's irrelevant anyway as even if so the same would then apply to us.

I'm mates with an ex NCFC member of staff and he'd always suggested that these kind of deals were based on the first time a player was moved on not based on then subsequent transfers, ie Coventry benefited from Norwich selling Maddison to Leicester but that's where there benefit stops?! Maybe the Maddison deal was different and some on here seem to have in depth knowledge of the Maddison from Coventry deal. Must make accounting for all these permutations a nightmare to keep up with.

cornish sam 922 Posted June 1, 2019 I believe it's standard practice, in part it I'll be to stop unscrupulous chairmen selling a player for a reduced fee with a huge sell on clause to prevent having to share the profits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's business suicide, let's say Webber is one of those do we think he'd take £10m (as an example) and put in a larger sell on clause, what would have happened had Maddison suffered a career ending injury, we'd have lost out on £14m!?!

Maybe the Maddison deal was different and some on here seem to have in depth knowledge of the Maddison from Coventry deal. Must make accounting for all these permutations a nightmare to keep up with. It’s pretty standard from what I’ve seen. Coventry are owed a percentage of the profit Norwich make. This will include a slice of all the monthly payments Leicester make and any performance related bonuses. If Leicester sold to Tottenham, who in turn sold to Man U at a profit, and all the relevant clauses were in place, then it the due payments will continue to filter down the clubs. Generally isn’t a time limit on these things and in reality it doesn’t usually get too complicated - as you don’t normally see players move multiple times with these clauses in place. On top of these negotiated clauses - there is also the FIFA enforced ‘solidarity payments’ which means for every year a player is with a club before they turn 23 they are due some money from the transfer fee - this is due every time the player is transferred.

Aggy 739 Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Man City also interested for 60 mil according to FootballInsider (no idea how reliable that is!). Man City vs Spurs would be a tough decision for him - he’d no doubt learn a lot from Guardiola and would probably win more at City but he’d likely be a rotation player in that squad (especially when you remember De Bruyne was out for half of this season). At Spurs he’d probably get more first team game time, still going to be playin European competition but probably not going to be winnin any league titles for a few years at least.

Fuzzar 1,701 Posted June 4, 2019 If it's 15% of the profit on the player (£35m, if he sells for £60m), then we'd be due £5.25m. Coventry would be due a percentage of that as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
