It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

They wouldn't play together. Kev is on the slide, much as most don't want to admit it.

Extra creative spark badly needed.
On the slide? He was unplayable before world cup u don't go on the slide in 3 months. I just see as a dip in form along with the teams dip in form. If maddison comes in I'd say he's back up to kdb. If we could have a midfield 6 options of rodri perrone/Phillips Bellingham foden kdb and maddison that would be amazing with leao grealish mahrez palmer alvarez and haaland as forward options. The rest of the league would be crying again.
 
David silva was an attacking midfielder perrone is a defensive midfielder like Delph was. Also as I said I see him playing the inverted full back role as a virtual dm x 2
perrone is not a defensive player. there are defenders and players who play deeper near the defnsive phase. gundogan can be considered defensive player by you saying, since he plays deeper many times next to rodri. do you think it would be a good idea to put gundo as our right back?
 
ya and replace him with a shityy player like madison who is nowhere near his class? no thanks! we should be aiming for the very best not mediocrity.

I get it, you don't like him.

Pep does, and he's not doing a bad job of this managing lark.

There are very few people like Kev, so we need to temper our expectations on a like-for-like.
 
Caicedo would add some combativeness to our midfield but I don’t see us paying anywhere close to what Brighton would want.

I think we’ve been down this road before…

You can’t just buy “the best” in every position and expect it to all click. It won’t and it doesn’t, you need a balance of players of all abilities to make it work. What’s to say at City Maddison doesn’t become world class? We as fans (me included) are becoming spoilt and Pep alluded to this a week ago! I see the reasoning behind the link at least.
 
Maddison is a serious player . Go look at his goals and assists in a poor side…

Would thrive in our team .
Ronaldo scored 20 goals for united last year. Someone has to score goals in a poor side. Doesn't make them good. I don't really have an opinion on Maddison - i just wanted to reference united being shit.
 
When we play Leicester again watch what Pep does. He's doing the same thing he did with Grealish.

possibly yes. Zinchenko was an attacking player as well, with only his tactical awareness and ball retention that made him suitable to left back yet he's our best left back of Pep's reign (possible exception of Cancelo at his peak)

Mediorce? Have you seen his stats for the last couple of seasons?

He's got more goals and assist contributions than any other England midfielder. Substantially more than one of our own. Stop talking fuckin tripe
 
I said this couple months ago he had a really long chat with Maddison, and always talks about him in Leicester press conferences. I thought we'd be interested same as when Pep was obsessed with Grealish

He used to do the same with Nathan Redmond!
 
I`d rather have Szoboszlai than Maddison as an attacking midfielder. Maddison is good, not denying that, but Szoboszlai is 4 years younger, and I think we`ll get another 2 years out of Kev. Maddison would be 28 at that time, Szobszlai 24
look what you've done now any tenuous link from city for a player and the rags are all over it

Florian Wirtz is the only one who can become what KDB was and he just came back from an ACL. Heard anything about him Tolm?
 
25 goals and 12 assists from the beginning of last season.
Great touch, great technique, good set pieces, good passing, excellent shooting, good dribbling.
He's a good age, coming into his prime. He's English, he's hungry.

Unless he's ludicrously expensive I don't see what's not to like about James Maddison.
