Just don’t see the point in buying Maddison now. Yeah he’s a good player but we’re a year late.

Prefer to go the younger upside player route again.

Too many holes in this squad to be dropping £50 mill on a 28 year old
Need to get away from the age thing. At 26 he is in his prime and if we get 3 to 4 great seasons then £50 million is a steal. Fuck sake we bought Richarlison for £60 million and he’s offered fuck all at 25.

Maddison is an odd one. I always think of him as a bit physically frail, carrying injuries in his knee/hip, often missing long stretches of gametime. But then I look at his history and see that he's played 44, 36, 32, 31 and 35 games in his last five full seasons. Good player, I'd like there to be somebody on the market in his mould but a shade younger and more physical.. nothing really jumps out

I liked zaniolo as an option but that ship has sailed.
Watched Villa the other day and an all action midfielder like John McGinn is an upgrade on our two in there just now. Brings energy,gets fucked in,gets you fouls in dangerous areas(great if we had Maddison) and pops up with important goals.
 
It’s not. We have to replace Kane. With an Am and ST. Maddison is the am
Realistically why would a highly sought in demand prime Madison come to us ?
The club has little ambition ,in turmoil will not match the fee, and wages of someone else .
It will be a Newcastle, Arse , Liverpool, Chavs .
Richy is Kane's replacement and granted we need top quality but that rarely if ever happens .
I'm sorry it's wishful thinking.

liverpool and chelsea are in worse states than us currently. its not all doom and gloom, yea we aint got a a manager and a DOF. but we should be a lot better off right now if cunty was actually a competent manager! that cunts done his best to fuck us this year and we are still somehow in a top 4 race! its actually mental. so its not all doom and gloom.

get a manager who isnt an incompetent coward, get maddison, get a quality CB in and a keeper...things all of a sudden are very positive.

Wow, you really are a ray of sunshine.
My recollection is that Maddison is a bit of a party animal.
So, Thursday night out in hopping Newcastle or, alternatively, London?

I just don't want you to be eventually disappointed.
Happy Easter
 
Does Maddison work in a MF 3?

Or better off playing in the front 3?

An AM more, he is very versatile like Foden and can play wide and central but ideally I’d say if you play a 433 you want him playing in the Foden/Mount role of that like a false winger.

Below would be examples of how he could fit next season.

433

GK
Porro Romero CB Udogie
Bissouma Skipp Bentancur
Maddison Richarlison Son

4231

GK
Porro Romero CB Udogie
Bissouma Skipp
Kulusevski Maddison Son
