Nah, 14 seconds after the deal is concluded.We're probably going to find out by Christmas why Monaco wanted shot of him....

I’m a fan of Rob Tanner, he’s been a good reporter for a long time now. Why has he left?

It is an incredible signing.
We are so good now.
Still, we’re only a Vardy injury from mid table mediocrity. It’s what keeps me grounded!

The best thing about it is that it means Madison is now very unlikely to leave unless he wants to look like a complete pillock.

I suspect for the same reason everyone else that is any good has left there in recent years.
He'll still be reporting on City but in a different role.
D'ya reckon that's it? Supposedly £30M on Peréz, £40M on Tielemans (fingers crossed)... that's a wodge*. Is there money left in the kitty? Do we then wait to see if there's any outgoing before signing anyone else?
(*I would include the x paid for JJ but these days that's just chump change, like the Lion Bar you pick up whilst waiting in the queue to pay for your petrol)

I still would like to see us add some more attacking threat but we've done some great business the last few windows. Tielemans is a big one. The caliber of player who could help us attract further big names/ big talent.

United's Maguire pursuit 'backed by Sir Alex Ferguson'
Leicester City rejected a £70 million bid earlier this week

It's looking like a move to Man City is not likely and never has been. They simply don't rate him at the price we're asking.
However, Maguire has said to us that he'd be interested in joining Man Utd - specifically them and not another team - and he'd like the opportunity to go there if they meet our valuation.
Our valuation appears to be circa £90m. And Man Utd appear to want to pay no more than £70m. This means that either Maguire has to agitate for a move, losing his percentage of the fee, and then we compromise at around £80m or he shuts up and gets on with playing for us.
It is weird to say it, but we are genuinely competing for the same position in the league as Man Utd are this season. Neither of us are top two material but after that, anything is possible. We've got a better manager and a better team. I'd say they have the better squad.
Overall, we only lose Maguire if he makes it happen or Man Utd just offer silly money. And as Percy says today, maybe Maguire will look around the changing room next week and realise he may well be better off staying put.

spot on I think we are on the same level financially I also think we have a better squad. The dressing room at Manuire would appear to be rotten hence their manager trying to ship alot of players out!
Chelsea are in limbo they can not buy and are reliant on their youth and reserves, Arsenal are unknown and Spurs have to pick themselves up and go again.
We should elevate ourselves into the top six as a minimum and push for the top 4? That is my ambition and expectation this season if we fall short then no problem but as long as we have a dog in the fight.

We are not on the same level financially as Manchester United. Don’t be daft.
