Player James Maddison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

:porrohands:

Did he time travel??




Kidding, I know what you meant. We should find out tomorrow at the PC anyway.
Ahha, glad you got what I meant just that he did his in september and maddison did his in august.

Yeah, exactly, I am expecting us to be told hes a few weeks away. But pray hes back for leeds. Him and bentacur add a lot I think.

Gray bentacur
tel maddison simons
solanke/richie

is starting to resemble a decent side again.

It's too late even if they are both fit in 2 weeks they are not going to be back to form for weeks
 
People keep saying Coventry but if you're a newly promoted club on a limited budget, breaking your wage structure and spending 20m+ on a guy turning 30 who is just coming back from a year out with an ACL is a massive risk. Kind of move that, if it backfires, torpedoes your entire season.

For similiar reasons I don't think many other clubs will go for him - it's just so risky to sign a player fresh off an ACL.

I think he kinda owes it to us too tbh. He's spent a year being paid mega money to recover while telling us how much he loves the club. I won't hold it against him too much if he goes, but he could be a bit of a cult hero if he captains us back up.
I think he'll stay, just a feeling. But his wages are about to get halved. Coventry could easily afford a loan fee and to cover his wages.
 
What makes me laugh about the Danso abd Dragusin narrative is that its not either of them that's got us relegated. Its the supposed world class one Romero VDV Udogie that played 90% of the battering we took. Make this shit make sense.
Add the front line of Richarlison, Muani, simons, Tel, Kudus and odobert.

And the fact none of them ever played together before, was always going to be a disaster.
 
With the training ground footage and 'breaking news' that he's training with the first team, are we thinking he'll feature in the squad on Saturday... or was that just an I'll thought out cock tease from our inept Media dept?
 
Geeza is running about absolutely fine on that training ground, and any other club will be playing him for at least half hour if they knew he was an integral part of team. For me, we have to slot him in, even if its just for 20 mins before the end.

We have no time to worry about whether it's too early to bring him back in or not. if he can run, then fuck it. We are staring relegation square in the face.

Imagine we're drawing and we get a free kick just outside the area a few mins before the end, and we have him available to take it.. Id rather him than anyone else.
 
Any normal club would only show him training when he's ready to come back.

The way this season has gone though, the PR team have gone:

'Everyone is really sad cos we might get relegated. You know what might cheer them up a bit...? Put out a video of Maddison in training. '

'He isn't ready to be a part of the match day squad yet though.'

' I know but it'll show we're not panicking and are getting prepared for next season. Have them all smiling and laughing too. Fans will love it!'

We’ll find out on Saturday if he’s ready if he’s on the bench or whether our PR team are just thick.

With such a serious injury you’d hope the medical wouldn’t rush him back unless he is ready. If he’s not 100% a hard tackle could finish his career.
