Snippet of ITK yesterday and Ali Gold keeps naming him randomly in his articles about the position, despite no actual news.Has there been a credible link to him? I have missed it if there has
Thanks, missed the ITKSnippet of ITK yesterday and Ali Gold keeps naming him randomly in his articles about the position, despite no actual news.
Thanks, missed the ITK
He could play mason mount position easy enough in a front 3. Or we can switch to a 3 4 1 2, it gives us a lot of tactical flexibility which we needNah do not see this at all. He is a decent english player I would like to have in the squad, do not get me wrong. And yeah we could do with more creativity in midfield, but how much of a fit would he really be in for example a 3-4-3?
And we most certainly do not get a discout on Leicester best english player. its like City fans thinking oh we get Kane on a discount, he wants to leave and his contract is soon running out.
I rather think its clever to look at a bit cheaper options for this role, as its not more than a rotation /system change option.
Homegrown and about 5 years youngerSo we thought Eriksen on a free was not worth the money, due to outrageous loyalty bonuses, given he would be a squad/rotation player.
But we will drop 60+ for Maddison?

With home grown restrictions we should be aiming for bothRather have Gordon, going to be an exceptional talent!
Yea… way less wages, is 25…. Would have resale value, is homegrown and is actually more of what we need than eriksen these daysSo we thought Eriksen on a free was not worth the money, due to outrageous loyalty bonuses, given he would be a squad/rotation player.

Absolutely this!Literally the ideal signing imo.
- He can play in the 8 or 10 role comfortably
- He’s positionally versatile enough to play out wide when needed
- An excellent high-volume creative passer
- A strong ball carrier
- Excellent at set pieces
- He’s homegrown
- Scores goals from midfield
Does absolutely everything we need and personality wise fits this group perfectly. Wish this had legs!
Goals and goal contributionsPhilips cost 50M (give or take) - why would Maddison cost so much more?
Seems second tier/squad players are ball park 50 - 60M in this market....i guess Maddison would be the same?
