He's 31 and will be 32 before our Europe League group stage ends. Good things never last and it's high time we bought in a winger to replace him. He doesn't get into the first 11 of anyone north of about 15th in the Prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goals and assists matter a lot and attacking players are mainly judged on that. The only compliment people can give Albrighton is that he works hard. Nostalgia merchants like you love Albrighton because we got him on a free and he was good in our system 5 years ago. Maddison's treatment by City fans on here is disgraceful and there's a crossover between people who hate on Maddison and love Albrighton, even though Maddison have contributed far far more than Albrighton in the last 3 years.

Bluetintedspecs Posted 21 June 2021 Share Posted 21 June 2021 Albrighton was pivotal and immense during our title winning season, he's still reliable though not anywhere near as creative /dangerous any more! Not to be dissed but the topic is Maddison, who if his hip isn't a long term problem is a creative class act who we should unquestionably keep imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people on here could learn a thing a two from Marc Albrighton about how to conduct oneself with class. Makes ya think, there’s just might be a reason why he’s still here with so many young and immature signings coming through… …and yes, as you said, let’s get back to the topic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 21 June 2021 Share Posted 21 June 2021 Maddison is a very likable guy and in terms of his football there is something there, which we want to see more of! So it will be sad to see him go. He's different to Chilwell, who I was glad he went, poor attitude, crap performance's on the pitch. Chilwell thinks he better then he really is, very overrated and unlikeable, quite the opposite to Madders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 21 June 2021 Share Posted 21 June 2021 At the risk of derailing the thread further, Albrighton being some 7 out of 10 every week model of consistency is one of the biggest myths going. If anything I'd say the quality of his performances varies pretty wildly, probably more so than anyone else in the squad except maybe Iheanacho and Vardy. When he's good he's great, but when he's bad he's atrocious and hugely limiting. I don't think it's disrespectful to him and what he's helped the club achieve to say he really shouldn't be featuring all that regularly for a team with ambitions of getting into the Champions League. Anyway, Maddison - good player, plenty of room for improvement, don't sell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majaco Posted 21 June 2021 Share Posted 21 June 2021 We should keep Maddison and Albrighton. Maddison would often be first choice;. Albrighton is brilliant for the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 21 June 2021 Share Posted 21 June 2021 Am I missing something? Albrighton had a good season last season and we looked far better with him in the side than without him. Didn't look past it at all to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing about Albrighton that strikes me is that each new manager drops him, then slowly comes round to how much he contributes, and he gets his place back. He is a diamond in the rough, and has a very good attitude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrington fox Posted 21 June 2021 Share Posted 21 June 2021 Maddison is more of a fashion guru than a footballer. Let him go if the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re missing the stats. Albrighton is crap and I can prove it with stats. Schmeichel made lots of saves last season. Albrighton made none. Not one. Rubbish. Get rid.

UniFox21 Posted 21 June 2021 Share Posted 21 June 2021 No way should we be selling Maddison unless that hip injury will cripple him. And comparisons to Albrighton are pointless. Different types of players in different positions, with Albrighton's main attributes being that work rate and crossing, whereas Maddison has more to his game.

I bloody hope not. Willock will get the same treatment as Maddison gets now when he doesn't perform to the levels Maddison can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
