James Maddison

erm im sure he was 80 million first time round

He was - he was grossly overpriced at 60m. Not sure how to describe 80m - grosser ?

Not at our level just paper talk.

Good player and still young enough for Pep to mould him into potentially a great one. He creates a lot of chances for Leicester, I think he'd be a great addition to the squad. There's something about him that makes you think he can cause opposition teams problems.

Shouldn't this be in the players we are not linked to but might improve us thread (or should that thread be binned)?. It seems a new thread is started every now and then that imo falls into that category

He was outstanding at Norwich and has made the step up in a good team at Leicester. He is young enough and has the ability to take the next step up to the elite level.

I suspect he could be very, very good. Still doesn't mean we need him in our squad: Silva, Silva, KDB, Gundogan, Foden already competing for two places. Where would he fit in?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Very good from what I’ve seen of him.

However, if he signed, Foden would struggle to get the development time he needs so it’s a no from me.

Good player at a good age but completely pointless for us. Not at the same level as what we have in that position already, and a position we’re very well stocked in, and even If we wasn’t there’s better out there we could attract.

His homegrown status adds very little for us with our current squad. If he was young enough to bring him in to have him qualify as club trained then it may have been worthwhile but as it is, it’s nothing more than a semi admiring glance.

For him personally I think it would be a mistake to move from Leicester just yet. He plays every week which he’s clearly benefitting from, in a good side with good players that play decent stuff and are on the up, no reason to move to a top 6 club and not get as much game time.

Completely agree. If you were in his shoes and looking at our squad next year having De Bruyne, Bernardo, Silva, Gundogan, and Foden, I don't know why you would want to come here rather than play every week at a top half side. I do reckon though that most of the rest of the top six could use him.

We are linked with him.

He'll end up at the Rags if anywhere.

He has the right level of ability and the right amount of cvntishness.
