James Maddison

[Keeper!]

Based on what? Grealish is one of our top performers this year. I'd also say Maddison is technically better than Grealish

Grealish is busting his guts but is simply not producing what we need.

 

[Keeper!]

I think he’d be alright as a squad player, definitely better than Palmer. Not everyone can be as good as KDB, but still good enough to play for us and ease the burden on such a tiny squad. I think Maddison is quality enough as long as he’s not our only midfield signing in summer.

Exactly but you think he would come as a squad player?

If David Silva was still around, we would call Madison a cheap version of him, that's my point,he is a very good player, we simply need better.

 

[Keeper!]

If Grealish is average then our whole team is below-average, considering he's been one of our best players this season.

Fair assessment and how standards have dropped.

James Maddison as a squad player for a decent price with only 1 year remaining on his contract, hard to see why people are so negative about that. KDB is getting older and cant play every game, with a player like Maddison as his backup we would be able to rest him more against weaker opposition. Bellingham-KDB as first choice mids with Gundogan-Maddison as backups would be the best first choice and backup mids in the league. And the summer after that we switch out Gundo for McAtee.

Apart from the technical qualities he has the lad also puts a shift in, has a similar defensive output to Bernie. So would be the ideal replacement for him.
Would still need a box to box mid too though.

FUNNY you say that. Pep changes his system, then the entire team becomes average, except for Jack. Clearly the new system is working for Jack, even though he is still average. This new system has costed us and as for Jack, if we play like the way we usually play, the system that peppers teams, then he would look like a deer caught up in headlights, like he did when he got here.

Kdb is has been off, Gundo is off, Dias, Foden, Walker and Cancelo are all off. How is that the most important players in our team are the ones that are suffering the most? It is because this new system is detrimental to them just so Jack can look improved but still average.

Even with one year left he will warrant a big fee and big wage, and not sure he would be happy with a squad role and even if he was, it would be a sign of lack of ambition.

I'd take him over Silva, that's for sure. Has far more end product.

Dropped because of the new system that has benefitted Grealish. Our proper standard leaves Jack looking out of place and in the deep end of the ocean unable to comprehend what the hell he got himself into.

So what you are saying is that we cant sign anyone that understands that Bellingham-KDB will probably be first choice, since that must mean they lack ambition? With that mindset we cant sign anyone since Bellingham-KDB would be first choice no matter who we sign.
