Objectively better player by almost every single metric other than being Southgate's pet.

He is one of the best players we've ever had... but I am used to seeing him on his arse waving his hands at the ref. Honestly, I dont see him starting for top top teams. Thing is, those sort of antics will get you endless free kicks if you play for man city et al. so i don't think that will bother them at all.

Lillehamring Posted 21 June 2023 Share Posted 21 June 2023 22 minutes ago, SouthStandUpperTier said: Where does Maddison fit in at Man Utd though? He's not getting in their team ahead of Fernandes. Mount isn't as good a player as Maddison but he's probably that bit more versatile in that he can play as a wide attacker as well as an 8 or a 10, and it's that extra versatility that probably means they are more interested in Mount than Maddison. Maddison has played at 8, 10, out left, out wide and even appears alongside the striker at certain times in games - whatever maddison's limitations maybe, versatility is not one of them.

Although technically he has played 'out wide' for us he still generally drifts back to the centre, where he does his best work. He's not a wide player. Never in a million years.

We're pricing him out of a move (allegedly). https://the72.co.uk/2023/06/21/reporter-reveals-frustration-in-james-maddison-camp-as-leicester-city-price-tag-keeps-newcastle-united-and-tottenham-at-bay/ Aaahh, perhaps he would like to go **** himself. God I wish we could afford that. I'd make him play all season and let him go for nowt if 1 — we could afford it. 2 — I didn't fear he would be as shit as he was in the run in after being made captain. Hissy fits and twirly shit don't help avoid relegation and I'm not sure it wouldn't outweigh the good when it comes to promotion. Bottle job. Our best player, during our most bottle job years. Says it all imo. Talks well though so all is forgiven I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishOxide Posted 21 June 2023 Share Posted 21 June 2023 We should not accept any low ball offers when you look at the money being spent on players with inferior stats. Maddison is worth more to us in contributing to getting us straight back up even if he ends up going for free at the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc043 Posted 21 June 2023 Share Posted 21 June 2023 Tonali is an excellent player, probably already better than Maddison and he’s 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle are being smart here, the only reason they were able to pull it off was because the Milan board is even more inept than ours and sacked Maldini (a household name at the club for now 3 generations, just Paolo has 650 apps for them) and Massara now players are probably looking for a way out (even local boys like Tonali) because their club doesn't give a shit anymore.

Maddison is very lightweight and lacks real stamina. In FM terms none of his fitness, Stamina or strength would be above 11/20😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
