Maddison is a central midfielder.

Werner being a Solomon replacement is a reach. Scarlett replaces Veliz.

Maddison is multi role, he played left wing attack quite a bit for Leicester and in a second forward position. However I agree it’s unlikely we would see him there with us as Ange tends to want proper wingers that stretch the play rather than Foden or Bernardo Silva style false wingers.

We haven't signed Werner because Maddison is injured though. That's the point.

Nor made any of our signings so far due to injury problems. We've made a low risk loan in Werner because he was available. And signed a third choice centre back because it was needed.
 
And history seems to repeat itself.
It never cease to surprise – and at times even amaze – me how little some of the experts and Levy haters in this forum knows about how transfer deals work:
On one hand, they expect every transfer deal Spurs get involved with, and Spurs are the buyers, to go smoothly and secretly: the same day the bid is made the “other” club should immediately accept Spurs’ offer without informing any other suitors, and any attempt to make Spurs increase their offers smacks of Levy being inefficient and tight. On god forbid that any "bigger" clubs bids for the same player!
While Spurs, on the other hand, should make public any bid for their player to attract as much interest they can and thus get the highest fee possible and drag it on to extract even more money if possible.

If it's negative news = Fuck Levy, same old shit, costing this club.

Positive news = Paratici is a genius.


Same old mate - I'm not going to be pretend Levy hasn't had issues, and is perfect, but he's also not the blame of everything that goes wrong. The club was in a dire position before he took charge.
