James Maddison

[FantasyIreland]

I was really impressed with Maddison today. Thought he had a fantastic game tbh.

He'd look even better in a possession based team.

Ive always rated him,and the shithousery seems to have reduced.....if Bernie does leave,then this lad is ideal.

 

[skillman]

Brilliant player. Bargain for whoever gets him but I’d be surprised if Pep’s eyes didn’t light up even more after some of that today.

 

[RayCTID]

A good player and if by any chance Bellingham's move does fall through then I wouldn't be totally against bringing him in for the right price.

Ake, Grealish, Phillips, Maddison…

It makes sense to buy the best players from the teams that struggle (often surprisingly) in the league. These clubs often have to rebuild or the players have particular clauses in their contracts than can be triggered. Maddison knows the league and would be a shrewd addition.

Phillips ain't good enough

Phillips ain't good enough

Not going to issue judgement on a player who has only managed 391 minutes of football for us, not just yet. If the club does decide to shift on him, which would be unusual, then they’ll do so this summer, but even if he stays, we still might not see the best of him until 24-25.

Made for our style, should be a bargain as well if they get relegated.

 

[ElMago_DSilva]

He's a luxury player at best for me. Hope we don't make a move for him.

If Gundo goes, would be a top replacement mate.

He's nowhere near Gundo's level and he's a completely different player to him.

Maddison is a luxury player. A highlight reel player, shows flashes of quality, but he isn't a controller and he never will be.

I'd rather go for Alexis Mac Allister every day of the week. Tactically/positionally more suited to us, work rate is better off the ball, better presser and is a midfield controller. He's the most similar player we could probably get to Gundo.

Not under Pep mate.

Grealish and Mahrez were luxuries as well. In the world we inhabit, there’s not much need for a Ford Fiesta.

You cannot afford luxury players in central midfield. You need players that understand the role, understand their position.

If you think a midfield of Rodri, Maddison and De Bruyne has the right balance, then I can't help you.

 

[super_city_si]

He was their biggest threat by a mile. Made some nice moves and found space well.

What you deride as luxuries I prefer to see as highly talented players who are intelligent enough to be properly coached. Even Bernardo had to be coached as to how to play in midfield in Guardiola’s system. If the club thinks Maddison is good enough, then I’d expect to see him thrive in 24-25. Nobody, not even Mac Allister, would waltz into our midfield without first slipping.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Not good enough for City, plus another thing I’ve noticed,he never stops moaning to the ref.

Well that's makes sense his team on trajectory going to be relegated so he need to be more passionate and take every advantage.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

He’s class. He saw the opportunity to get them back in the game once we took off all our best players. He should have scored that chance, but that pass towards the end for Kelechi was the sort of pass Kev pulls off.

 

[Blue Maverick]

He will need up at the scousers, he would be a good buy for them.
