Na that would be nonsense, I think his agent is just trying to drum up interest
His peripheral awareness, in defence, in as bad or worse than Porro.
Suspect he’ll go on loan, but just guessing based on the dialogue, let him sharpen defensively elsewhere (In a back 4 playing team). But be very happy if he’s ready to be a Top 5 challenging Prem LB.
I don’t disagree the CBs should be the priority but it’s definitely going to be risky if Skipp and Bentancur are the only mids in January. And if either has an injury or yellow card suspension, you probably have to play Emerson or someone out of position there.
To fill that spot in January, we would certainly have to overpay and then that player would try to have to learn the new system on the fly. And having even 1 weak link in a pressing system can be detrimental.
Disagree.
He’s young but an unbelievable talent.
Will make mistakes but we have an unbelievable talent on our hands.
If he doesn’t want to be here then he can fuck off but there is no reason for that to be the case.
I didn't know Liverpool were interested TBF Dempsey put effort in. I have voiced the same concerns about Maddison.
Nope coz it IS a great signing and I’m not a cynical, miserable git.
But their all shit haven't you read twitter? Fans are just expecting us to disappear it's hilarious
Harsh, think he ended the season pretty well. First game or two back he looked great, then really flattened out and looked tired for a month.. gets shafted to playing wing back for a stretch, but thought he had several performances in the last months of the season where he looked really good again. Wouldn't be a transfer without risk though.
No.
Newcastle have a much lower turnover than Spurs and have spent heavily (£200m+) in last 2 years, so having bought midfielder Tonali for £44m they are bouncing off FFP limits, Buying Maddison would likely put them over FFP limits or even if not meant they couldn't buy anyone else this summer.
So in summary once Newcastle had bought Tonali they were almost certainly out of the race for Maddison and no doubt both Leicester and Spurs knew that.
Sell rich! Exactly what qualities did we buy him for? It wasn’t as if he played regular CF at Everton especially if DCL was playing. Probably one of the worst signings ever purely on football ability. At tangay had some bloody technical skills.
Let’s see depends if he can stay onside and not fall over with the ball looking for free kicks.
If PEH goes he has to be replaced
Wonder who we’ll be linked to tomorrow?
Emery has agreed to sign a left footed c/b from his prev club villareal... Norm when a manager raids prev club's means they rate the player and intends to use him ...will that puts Ming's position under threat? and the cash from the sale .v r might be able to buy lo celso . Unless villa buy lo celso..Which I really don't want.. cos tbh .. still think in the right system he'd do well in the prem.
So he didn't even choose us, he had no choice, we were the only club in for him?
There were reports from reliable journalists from Newcastle that Maddison preferred Spurs, even before Newcastle bought Tonali.
Oooh a late night "we were/weren't Maddison's last resort" cunt off.
So, to recap, he is either stupid enough to prefer a mid table club to the richest club in the world and CL football or sad enough to only have us as an option....
Lo Celso and Sessegnon were August
Ndombele July
It's still June. We've just signed a no.1 target.
Didn't sign anyone else worth talking about.
