andyc35i Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 It’s probably only me here who thinks that he’d be a waste of money. Obviously he’s a good player, but I’d be aiming higher than him if we are going to be spending more than £40m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 It's guaranteed goals & assists in the PL, he's a good age to grow with the team. No idea how it would be a waste of money. And what is higher than him that is attainable? I even have my doubts about Maddison's attainability. And don't say Paqueta, this fanbase's obsession with him is borderline unhealthy.

I think he is worth £60m tbh, but if he's got only two years left on his contract, Leicester aren't getting that much. £45-50m should do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) If we're aiming to get 20 extra goals/assists this way from an attacking CM position, we might be happy enough to go with Almiron and Fraser for one more season on the right. We get the increase in numbers a different way but keeping that high press and workrate on the right. If they're completely shite, we've got the flexibility of being able to move Maddison out there and bringing in Willock/Anderson/Shelvey/Longstaff into midfield. Would be a huge signing.

LV Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 The only hesitation I have about him is his character/ attitude. I’ve seen others mention he comes across as a bit of a tool, do you think he’d be disruptive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Is Maddison's personality really a concern? I know from an opposition fan perspective he can be a bellend on-pitch but I don't remember hearing anything negative about him from a general personality/workrate perspective?

Fair point, but I just don’t think he is what the team needs right now. We need to get the forward line sorted first and get some more pace out wide and centrally. He’d work well in the centre of a midfield three, but in my opinion, it’s more important to get the players around someone like a Maddison first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 He's class, he'd improve us immeasurably and would be absolutely be worth whatever we paid for him. Him and Bruno would steer us top 6 within 2 seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxi, Miggy and Fraser are a pretty rapid set of options out wide. If we can add a Cornet or (hopefully) Diaby, then that would be perfect, but I think adding someone of Maddison’s quality would be game changing. All of a sudden out midfield three is on par with most of the best teams in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think he seems very down to earth and affable in interviews and stuff but he's a shithouse on the pitch who naturally people will hate when they're playing against you. Didn't help that he seems to always score against us plus throw in his social media stuff and plenty will naturally then hate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. Bruno played from deep in most of his best games last year. He’ll still pop up in the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
