Md9 Posted 30 May 2023 Share Posted 30 May 2023 Pointless him going spurs if he wants to play champions league in the next 3 years as they won’t be getting it. Even if Kane is forced to stay levy won’t pay out on players with no champs league money. Out of the three he is linked with should go to Arsenal .

Read an article a while back stating his gf was badly missing her friends in London - and that's with Leicester being fairly well connected to the capital. Newcastle would be a lot further away - not saying he will just do what she wants, but it will surely factor into his thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he won’t command the fee we would have got if we remained a Prem club. Also Norwich City get 13% I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 31 May 2023 Share Posted 31 May 2023 Why would Maddison go to Arsenal when Odegaard is one of the only players in the league better than him in the 10. Man City honestly makes more sense, at least de Bruyne won't be around much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimJams Posted 1 June 2023 Share Posted 1 June 2023 He's a hell of a lot closer to Bernardo than KDB. Not being as good is largely irrelevant. Phillips isn't as good as Fernandinho... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she's twisting about being an hour away from London, he's probably better off getting rid. Get himself a nice Geordie lass. In all seriousness we heard the same about Hayden, Willock, Howe. They won't want to join/stay at Newcastle because it's too far away from London. They all ended up happy enough. Dunno if you've been, but it's not the parochial dystopia some would have you believe, struggling in a post heavy-industrial age. It's pretty ****ing lovely. City centre is not like Burnley or Middlesbrough, Grey Street is repeatedly voted as one of the most beautiful streets in the UK, no it's not got as many haute couture boutiques as Bond Street, but we do have some. Anyway, with two young kids she'd probably be more interested in Jojo Maman Bebe in Morpeth. I'd love to see Maddison in a black and white shirt, he's top class, an intelligent player and (from the outside) seemed to have plenty of heart during your relegation scrap despite the constant and noisy links elsewhere. Sounds like it's an either/or situation between him and Szoboslai from RB Leipzig. Different players in different roles, but both outstanding. Do you know if the asking price will likely drop or would it still be the £60m we were quoted in last season's windows? Hope you smash the Championship and when you have to travel up North for away days at Sunderland or Boro I hope you'll travel an extra 10-30 minutes up the road and stay somewhere with more warm welcomes and fewer dogs in prams. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than we've been quoted for Szoboslai and it's likely he'll be on less wages than Maddison as well. But Maddison has more experience in the PL, is English (to help with qualifying quotas for Europe), and is proven quality.

Got a feeling you would be 6th choice for him behind the likes of Man U, Man C, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal as they are more proven on the trophy front.

FoxesWalk Posted 4 June 2023 Share Posted 4 June 2023 (edited) In what universe is Maddison a replacement for Bernardo Silva 😅 he is behind him in almost every technical aspect of the game for his role; passing, take ons, pressing, defensive work rate, receiving the ball, carrying the ball, dribbling, tactical awareness… the list goes on. Bernardo is criminally underrated, better player than David Silva was at his peak IMO. So clever to back up his technical ability, which is superb. Dont really see how Maddison fits into the Pep machine, but then again, didn’t really see it with Grealish and look at him now.

JimJams Posted 4 June 2023 Share Posted 4 June 2023 Not sure what's so difficult to understand really. Silva openly said he wanted to move last summer to Barca, but a deal couldn't be made, so it's quite possible he tries to move away this summer. Maddison is a good player to bring in for the squad to fill that gap. Nobody said that Maddison is as good as Silva, and as stated it's not always possible to replace outgoing players with ones of equal or superior talent, ergo Philips being brought in with Fernandinho departing.

I’ve had a few big weekends in Newcastle. The place is carnage and well worth a visit. Where do all the footballers tend to live? Durham is quite nice and leafy - do they live there?

Finn Claw II Posted 4 June 2023 Share Posted 4 June 2023 He’s rich enough to charter a helicopter to London if his gf wants a night out every month. I just hope everyone wants him and it pushes the price up. Don’t think he’s good enough for Man City personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what people are suggesting is if you want to remain as one of the best teams in Europe then having Maddison take over from Silva isn't really as strong as say Miliato and Rodrygo having taken the spots Ramos and Bale used to play and Haaland taking the spot Aguero used to play. It's probably why PSG are not as good as they were, from what they have had in the past to what they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HesNotGudjonsonn2 Posted 4 June 2023 Share Posted 4 June 2023 The question of whether Maddison is as good as Bernardo is kind of irrelevant. The real question is what could Maddison do in a team where the opponents are not all focused on him or wha could Bernardo do in a team where the opponents are. I really think, in a team of stars, he will be afforded to show what he can really do. We already know it as much as we don’t want to admit it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jv1 Posted 5 June 2023 Share Posted 5 June 2023 Technically superb and his numbers are unreal for a team that’s been as crap as us all year -I have really tried to like him but for some reason I still don’t like the smarmy little git though and never have- there is something very dislikable about that boy- absolutely zero stomach for a relegation battle either - zero - don’t care if his stats were good last 15 games - he didn’t help the team one little bit - all about him I’m afraid - and that showed in his little messages all season - more worried about the perception of his own performances than the team- that being said he will go to one of the biggest clubs and iv no doubt be very very good- I have a feeling it will be Man City and he will shine - will look at his mate grealish and think that can be him easily and in a team who has that much ball in the final 3rd and doesn’t do as much defending I’m sure he will be great - it’s a major tournament season as well and I wouldn’t be surprised if he got himself in that England team somehow - just get it done now asap- £50m - done - thanks and good bye 👋 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
