An 18-year old from League 1 didn't work out too shabby for us a few years back. If you're good enough, you're old enough.

Right, back on topic now that I’ve put gooner Raumdeuterz back in his box…
Would be a great signing. Won’t happen though. Thought he was Roma bound?
At least I can fit in the box.
Personal terms and contract is the easy part.
Feel free to sing about it, if you want. I won't stop you.
Yep.
The £40m free is another thing entirely!
Hope we can get it done though.
Have you been shopping lately?
True although he was a freak physically for his age and scored 16 goals and 8 assists for mk Dons. Maybe he's good enough I can't say I've even seen him play but I would be surprised if he is a better option than Maddison right now.
Forget all this 6,8 and 10 pish. We will play with 1 sitter and two midfielders who will go forward and join in the game in the final third. They will both have to work like fuck without the ball to get it back and be able to make runs into the box,create chances and score goals. Too many want to pigeonhole midfielders.
Nope. Best young defensive mid in the world and home grown.
He’s been absolutely quality for West Ham & England.
Isn't the sitter supposed to be a DM, though?
Scott will add goals to his game wherever he ends playing because he will be with better players and coaches. . He’s still learning the game and under the right coach the other attributes he does have that he doesn’t use will get utilised better.
You are absolutely spot on.
He’s a very good player but nowhere near £100m worth.
Anyone who watches football would concur with your view.
Supposed to be. Midfielders in a three should be able to rotate especially in an aggressive high pressing fluent team. It gives one a rest but we aren’t at that level to be that clever. Not seen that sort of midfield in years but bentancur,bissouma and a Maddison type could play that way.
He’s very good but I still think there’s more on him. He could score more goals especially the way he drives with the ball.
I see we are being linked with Sancho now. If we sign Sancho, Raya and Maddison all our HG issues disappear for years to come, even without Kane
Been saying similar ever since people started to get a hard-on for Scott.... Bring him in, sure; but don't place the evolution of the first team (or at the very least the creativity of our MF) on his shoulders at 19.
That would be a dumb move.
Best young DM in the world?
Not a chance. Real have 2 better than him and that’s one team.
He did, but he wasn't shackled with the responsibility of revolutionising our MF and being the creative conduit that people have complained has been missing from our MF for a number of years.
They don’t. They’ve just got sexier names.
Rice puts up incredible defensive numbers and his ball carrying is excellent. He’s 2nd on the team sheet for England.
I cba doing this again because it’s pointless as everyone will see when he gets his big move. Rolls Royce of a defensive midfielder.
The best EPL teams of the last 10 years have all had at least one player who's responsibility was to be a DM of some form or another.
Who plays this triple rotation thingy you speak of?
Maddison rotating into the deepest 1 of the 3 sounds disastrous.
