If he has another season of injuries then he’ll be another one of these guys who never reached their potential. He should be out key player but I think his tiny frame can’t take the rigours of premier league football. Needs to get stronger. My post from last night acknowledges he's not fit, seems to have a problem with his hip and/or groin, which I think makes him look awkward when running now. For 5+ months (and counting) he couldn't finish a game. In fact it feels like most of last season, come to think of it. Away at Southampton, pre-game watching him warm up, his body movements didn't look right at all. I agree with you completely, he is slight of frame and this won't hep him handle the rigours of the Premier League. ......and before anyone thinks I'm just negative on him, I'm not. The lad is real quality, almost essential in our team lacking in flare players who can unlock a defence, but yes, I am concerned around his fitness. I'd 100% prefer he stayed, but if silly money is offered then let him go (as I think there is a genuine risk with his long-term fitness). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if it was all Maddisons idea or he was just invited? Again who do you replace him with? Someone who respects the club and his teammates more!

foxfanazer Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 Of all of our higher priced assets i think he's probably the most expendable and replaceable but no idea if the club shares that view. £70-80m would see us make a massive profit on him and would really give us the opportunity to strengthen the squad in multiple areas. Can't see Arsenal spending that kind of money on him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav_LCFC14 Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 Notice how we're not hearing anything about this from our ITKs ? It's classic arsenal, pretending they're going after players and leaking that to appease their fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's classic arsenal, pretending they're going after players and leaking that to appease their fans. A few of the more reputable reports have commented on this and basically said Arsenal are casting a wide net in their search for a creative midfielder due to uncertainty over who will actually be interested in signing for them now a number of players have rejected them - if that's the case its likely he's on the list of enquiries amongst many others. They've probably leaked about Madders to keep fans excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An on form & fit Maddison will be very difficult to replace. This is very true, but if there's any scouting team that can manage it, it's us! If we allow him to go, we'll have alternative targets that we've been looking at for ages, who will probably cost a third of what we'll sell Maddison for. Still can't see it happening anyway, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton is a winger - yet his assist stats for the last 4 season have been utter, utter dogshit. He scores a goal, very very occasionally.

MonkeyTennis? Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 I really like Maddison, and wouldn't want to see him go at all - especially this year. That aside, he would be a great fit for Arsenal, so I can see why they might be 'looking at him,' whatever that means. (I assume it means: putting stories in the press, trying to turn his head, not actually making any offers or approaching the club, then eventually settling for some hugely expensive but largely useless retiree from Chelsea.)

Edingleyfox Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 I doubt there is much in this thread. In any case I'm sure we will not yet both Madders and Youri go in the same window. If anything we need another playmaker coming in such as Coutinho etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jacnah Posted 17 June 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 17 June 2021 I'm surprised at the level of negativity around Maddison that's contained in this thread. He's a very good player indeed. He's had injuries Far from having a 'bad attitude' he strikes me as having a great attitude He's young and like ALL young people he might have made the odd bad decisions. Most of the accusations about bad decisions are utter tosh...see the paper hyperbole about the casino for example How many of us oldies don't continue to make bad decisions every day (ok Im not sure I would rock that bag!) He's a very good player indeed. My only issue is that occasionally I feel as though he slows the ball down to much 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly cringeworthy This is true. I think it is because Arsenal have been a powerhouse in relatively recent history, going toe to toe with Fergie's United and being able to get great players. What happens when you fall from grace and the type of players that you want start rejecting you? Must be hard to take for Arsenal fans so if they can't sign them at least they can photoshop them instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy85 Posted 17 June 2021 Share Posted 17 June 2021 According to the Leicester Mercury, Leicester City would need to receive a big money offer for James Maddison in order to consider selling him to Arsenal. The report also statest that they would need Maddison to inform them that he wants to leave. It is claimed that a deal being reached with the Gunners is 'unlikely' with Maddison having three years left on his current Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
