Can see Ramos to Spurs should they sell Kane.
-
Just a Rob Holding replacement, no? The drop off when they lost Saliba to injury was catastrophic for them. If he’s good, he plays; if not, then he’s great cover.
-
Did they sign Thuram yet?

James Maddison (now playing for Tottenham Hotspur)

“Arguably”- yeah, I’d say. Stop it, man -
James Maddison (now playing for Tottenham Hotspur)

We desperately need creativity and goals. Franca seems decent but we already have a lot of “triers” in midfield and on the wings. Someone like Maddison (and possibly DS) would have been perfect but ah well, FFP being a thing means we can’t get everything we want, all the time. -
Seemed unlikely we’d get him for less than 25m tbh. Shame.

Bild saying big Dom will stay at Leipzig: https://m.bild.de/sport/fussball/rb-leipzig/rb-leipzig-was-der-gvardiol-deal-fuer-ihn-bedeutet-jetzt-muss-szoboszlai-bleiben-84470664.bildMobile.html?t_ref=http%3A%2F%2Fsportwitness.co.uk%2F -
Maddison is this window’s Paqueta.
-
Diaby has less work rate than Maxi and would probably be more expensive than Szoboszlai. Not sure who we’ll go for but I imagine it’ll have to be a young, pacey left-footer who can press.
-
Livramento was being talked up as a wonderkid before his injury. While Ashby might be decent (I mean, who knows?) he’s not been able to get many senior games ahead of some mediocre names at West Ham.
-
Livramento can play Lb as well, I believe.
-
We only have 1 (albeit brilliant) CL level Rb. Ashby’s older and has a fraction of the top-flight game time that Livramento has. Trippier to Krafth, Ashby or Manquillo is biggest drop quality-wise we have in the squad. Really rate Livramento too; makes a lot of sense, this one.

No player we buy this summer will be as good as Maddison… unless of course we buy Maddison. -

He’s definitely elite. A team full of “Maddison level” players would probably win the league (or at least come close). -
Champions League 2023/2024: Group F (Newcastle, Milan, Dortmund, PSG)
McCormick replied to Marko NUFC's topic in Football
Did a randomizer (because I’m cool like that) and got Sevilla, Inter and Zagreb. -
Anderson’s passing is so lush. I imagine they’ll be wanting big bucks though? Would obviously be delighted with Maddison with KWP being a great squad option. None are in the age bracket we like to shop in though so not sure how likely.
-
Devil’s advocate but a “time to reflect”would mean they’ll be looking at which players they’ll prioritize with the remaining funds. It’s still very early in the window; opportunities may reveal themselves and prices could drop as clubs start getting itchy feet.
-
If Leverkusen weren’t taking the absolute piss with their valuation, Diaby was a link I thought we’d revisit.
-
I’m desperate to see us sign some players who can create and score goals. Miggy’s purple patch aside, our wingers’ etc. outputs are pretty poor.
-
Think he’d be someone we’re interested in if we sell maxi.
-
Can see you really don’t like him but 18 goals in all competitions isn’t terrible.
-
Nah. Poor control and technically not the best- sure- but he’s a good finisher, a big game player, a hard -worker and could jump over a building.
