There's no point talking about when Maddison comes back. The chances are that he either gets injured again sooner or later, or he simply isn't the same player.

Those two possibilities are far higher than, he comes back and performs well conssitently and becomes a dependable player for us.

He's basically suffered significant injuries every few months since he signed for us, he's made of glass.

So we need to sign one number 10 this window, and frankly another one. in January or next summer.

We aren't signing two this window, even though we need two. Fucking hell, we probably won't even sign one.

We definitely need a big name there asap.

Frank may see Deki playing there as well on his return.
 
Wonder if Paqueta could be an option now that he's been given the all clear. He's a bit inconsistent but at his best he's certainly creative. Not sure if he works hard enough off the ball though.

Maybe Daniel has someone in mind for a promotion . Suddenly from nowhere a new apologist , someone young and full of energy will appear . The old guard have spent 25 years now at the Alamo defending Poundland John Henry , time for some new blood.

I don't envy the next generation of the EDL

The bar has been set so high by the current crop

How do you follow up from fixxy or shandy etc ?

How are you so sure that we will have Maddison back at some point?

He will get fit again but at 29, the chances of him being the same player are very remote

I heard he’d got injured. Wasn’t aware he’d died.

If we are to assume injured players aren’t coming back, we’d have a squad of 438 players. We pretty much have to assume that the extremely fit athlete that looks after himself well will make a return. This happens in the case of almost every injured player. Considering the number of professionals worldwide, it’s rare that injury halts a career, especially at his age and younger.

Wasn't he injury prone at Leicester as well? We set up to fail
 
Could do with that marquee signing now.
Still would like to see bissouma and Richie out as well and possibly Davies now and get a decent LB.
