Winning teams make good players sit on the bench. If Bernardo, De Bruyne and Foden are in the starting XI for City then Grealish, Alvarez and Doku have to keep their tracksuits on. That’s how it has to be.
Hesitating to sign Eze because it might put pressure on a fickle player like Maddison makes no sense. Maddison is not special, he has played 10 good games for Tottenham. Has no right to expect a spot in the starting XI.
Eze is exactly what we need, he plays with courage, he’s dangerous and he’s proven in the PL. It can only be a good thing for us if Maddison is forced to step up his game. Competition brings the best out of everyone.
