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. Aye, we can't afford to get many transfers wrong and Maddison is the safer bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Agree. We drew 14 games last season and he'd be key in turning some of those into wins. Pace isn't as much use against teams that park the bus (the Leicester game is a good example) and we'll have more of those next season. In games against the top sides where we expect to counter, Maddison would play more centrally I would think and try to find the runners. I think he'd gives us lots of options tactically and that keeps opponents guessing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Keep reading about FFP restrictions and it seemingly gets worse by the week. The more that’s coming out about it the more it seems to be imposed to keep the big clubs where they are and everyone else outside of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szoboszlai, might be so good that he keeps us 4th or above, but if it flops then the likes of Villa and Brighton might close the gap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but every transfer is a risk, Isak could have flopped for example. If we are seriously interested in Szoboszlai, I’d trust our people scouting him all the way to Howe and co coaching him to make sure he wouldn’t flop. Of the two Maddison is obviously less of a risk, but maybe we are genuinely after both? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton and villa will probably have more games to fit in as well. You can argue it's an easier game but its injuries, Thursday games and fatigue that all starts to add up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Out of interest all things being equal but you could only buy one… Mount or Maddison? Also what would you think EH would do in same dilemma? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Thing is though, this will be maintained. So if we fall out one year its not like we'll miss a generation or may even never get back, we'll be back competing for it indefinitely. Building all the while.

I would buy Maddison but I think Howe might opt for Mount, as he would offer a similar work ethic to Longstaff but with better quality on the ball. Maddison offers even more quality on the ball than Mount but the graft side of his game comes less natural, unless it isn’t expected of him when playing off the striker and Leicester not being known for their press.
