Player Watch Player Watch: James Maddison

[SirHarryHotspur]

Just a thought , in 1970 we sold our record goalscorer Jimmy Greaves and brought in a goalscoring midfielder , Martin Peters , in 2023 we sell our record goalscorer Harry and bring in a goalscoring midfielder , is this some sort of omen.

Hope not, didn’t the scum do the double that season?

Yes. We won the league cup and they did the double.

Actually reading it again I take it back and think he's defo going Son.

Have you decided on your captain yet?

Yeah I have mate [decided]. I’m not telling you. (Laughs)

We’ll go through that process tomorrow. Knowing that Harry wasn’t going to be here, it was something I had on my radar. I’m not a massive one for having an outstanding captain. Leadership is very transferrable through the group. Your youngest player can show leadership skills. It’s about creating a culture and environment that’s driven by the players.

The people you have, have to drive that, and that’s been part of my brief here. I’ve observed the players and how they interact, and the environment they’ve set for themselves and which players seem to take the lead in that. I’ll go through the formalities of that probably tomorrow.

Is Sonny a strong candidate?

It’s not like a leadership poll. I’m not having votes or anything, but there are some players here who have already contributed outstandingly to this club. It’s not just about experience, or playing ability, it’s more about the person they are, and how they’re going to represent us as a club and the playing group.

I’m really comfortable with the group we have. We’ll get a strong leader out of it and hopefully some lieutenants alongside him.

Yup. The video posted online of him announcing the Sonny as captain and the others as vice captain was very good too.

He’s brilliant. A breath of fresh air in that respect. Really want him to succeed

Big statement to become vice captain of a club you haven’t made a competitive appearance for

That also shows we are in full rebuild mode finally

 

[gibbospurs]

But is there any itk that we are after him? I wouldn’t want to post in the wrong thread?

Captaining the side on his debut (albeit after Son went off) shows how influential he’s already become within the squad.

 

[SpursForever71]

great vision, technical ability. will be very influential this season

 

[werty]

On pace for 76 assists in the league this season

 

[SDogg]

What a fantastic player . Loved watching him for years and he’s all ours

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Makes it look so easy!

When Kulu, Son, Richy etc get used to having someone who can make play like that, maybe they'll start making runs again!

It's a different world to the last few years.

 

[Haddock]

Fantastic today. He'll be so important for us this season.

 

[knowlespurs]

We got Maddison and bissouma for 40m less than caceido
