SUPERTOON Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Just now, The Prophet said: If that's correct, can't see anyone getting near £70 million for Fofana. No chance, also interesting that the noises around Fofana are that he isn’t for sale, we haven’t heard anything like that regarding Maddison, despite the bid being made public.

The Prophet Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Also, always massively impressed with Maddison when he interviews. Seems a really intelligent lad who is eager to improve his game. I think him and Howe would get on like a house on fire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson also doesn't need that sort of pressure on him at this stage. He needs be introduced in a gradual manner, similar to how Man city and liverpool introduce their youngsters to the first team.

Fantail Breeze Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) We’ve always wanted to throw our youngsters in at the deep end for no apparent reason. People were clambering for Sørensen to be starting in the PL not that long ago - he’s now plying his trade in the Danish league. Anderson has had half a season in League Two ffs. Give him a full season in the Championship and we’ll see where he’s at. Madness that anyone would even suggest not making a signing because of him.

Their youngsters had genuine top/world-class players ahead of them, we don’t. Just throw him in and see how it develops, sometimes we need to be brave and actually give someone a chance. He may make the cut or may not, only one way of finding out… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Or you can test him in the Championship and see if he excels or not there. There isn’t “only one way to find out” at all. Edited July 31, 2022 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Absolutely nuts to say ‘just throw him in and see’, perfect way to destroy this lads future before he’s had a real chance to develop into the player he could potentially become. You wouldn’t just chuck your kid in at the deep end of the pool when they’ve just learned to swim at the shallow end would you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Why have any first team players? May as well just throw 11 players in from the Academy and see if they’re good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I think a huge amount of a young players development is about confidence, also learning from players around them. We have a world class defensive midfielder in Bruno, I think we are desperate for a world class attacking midfielder. Look how much Bruno lifted the players around him last season.

Guest HTT II Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I’m not advocating playing him every game FFS. Where do we draw the line at when and where to develop our better young talent? Just keep sending them out on loan in the hope they turn into Messi the second? We have to give them a chance sometime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I’d rather we gave Anderson a chance than spend 40-60m on Maddison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Love us to show the ambition and make this happen. We'd be immense in midfield, said it yesterday but can't stress enough how good him and Bruno would be together with Joelinton continuing to do so much good off the ball work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I can see the logic, and hope, in it. Looking to the past, sometimes often a needs-must, our youngsters have been left in to develop and perhaps become better players that they would have otherwise. But then again perhaps not. I am thinking of Lee Clark, Steve Howey, Steve Watson, Alan Thompson (I think without the car accident he may have been the pick of the bunch), Robbie Elliot, Shola Appleobi.

Keep Anderson and go top heavy on spending on a top striker or winger! I personally think we're getting too hung up on positions. Don't get me wrong, a winger would benefit us no end in terms of balance, but the bottom line is that the team lacks goals. Maddison provided 20 direct goal contributions last season. We basically need to get ourselves in a position where the goals don't totally dry up when Wilson is injured. A direct back up and a winger will obviously help, but so would a player of Maddison's quality, whether he plays out wide or in a midfield three.
