No idea personally, unless we're going to 4-2-3-1. There is a video on Twitter where he talks about his responsibilities when playing as an #8 so if we do sign him it will be either there or wide right I think. It doesn’t hurt to have the players to swap up formations but if Howe was thinking 4-2-3-1 at any point then it’s hard to believe he would have shoehorned Isak out on the left at the end of the season. https://twitter.com/nufcgallowgate/status/1668194244534710273?s=46 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 In Maddison's favour he seems a super intelligent player and could follow instructions very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ended up being wrong, but the info was right at the time. He was coming and then something (Wilson injury / more money / Isak discount) changed our plans. Just look at who broke the Pedro to Brighton news - he clearly has a source close to the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 "Nothing yet about the full transfer fee, but no surprise if Leicester gets a package worth £65million." They're speculating about the fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they are going to quote silly figures I might as well! 65m £ for a player in last year and also for a club that is having serious issues with their economy is a laugh. They have no cards while everyone buying from them have a full house. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 He'll be able to play as an attacking 8, 10, and LW/RW. Versatility Eddie loves. He'll be our key door unlocker. We desperately need players who are ball players like Bruno in addition to our runners. I have 0 doubts about his adaptability. We had no clue half of our players could be pressing machines until they were COACHED to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Again, we are talking in EXACT fees. The line between a 40m deal and a 60m deal can be blurred by instalments and clauses. I'd be looking at 40m plus another 10m after so many matches and goal contributions. I wouldn't be surprised to see them interested in a few of our fringe players. Lascelles would be a great signing for Leicester. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no clue half of our players could be pressing machines until they were COACHED to do so. Whilst I agree with the versatility, I’m hesitant to play him on the right as the triangle movement and runs on that side are based on the RW and Longstaff’s movement. I really don’t know where I’d play him in the team, but we definitely need the preseason to figure it out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) He could easily play in Miggys position but play it in an entirely different way... Bruno Longstaff Willock Maddison Joelinton Isak Trippier gives us mountains of width and Madders and Longstaff could make those runs into space wide or centrally. Tripper is key to everything down that side because he plays more as a RM than a RB. Edit: tried fucking about with the above formation but it won't sit properly.

ExiledGeordie Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: If it's one or the other it has to be Maddison for me. He's the safe bet, you could pretty much guarantee 15-20 goals/assists a season with him. Szoboszlai might be a world beater and be even better, but there's always the risk he turns out like Havertz, Werner, etc. I think where we are now, Maddison is the one to go for. When we've established ourselves in the top 4 over a few seasons we can maybe go for that type, but I think we should be doing all we can to get the likes of Maddison & Tierney this summer. Im sure I read that the price and wages were possibly a stumbling block for the Hungarian lad which makes an early purchase or one in general quite difficult I’ve seen some stuff on Facebook and Twitter with people going down the “no other player is good enough other than Szoboolai” or whatever he’s called similar to Paqueta last summer ?
