Yeah people seem to think London is just about Oxford Street and Pall Mall. But outside of the main city centre there are some stunning landscapes, those two areas you mentioned are a good example. I don't know why Maddison has a hard on for London, but maybe his reasons are family related. Anyway, good luck to him, I would still be more excited by signing Szoboszlai. Although there's nothing concrete about that one either tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 The talk of him preferring a move to London isn’t a new thing so hopefully we haven’t been wasting much time with it during the summer. I liked the idea of signing him and Szoboszlai rotating between midfield and wide right like Joelinton and Willock do on the left, that idea went out of the window due to us preferring Tonali so hopefully any new wide right play now can also cover up top.

Yeah we have got very good at this. I trust us to bring the right one in. Pardon the uncanny likeness of phrase to the eery Scandi vampire movie.

Maddison will fit right in at Spurs. Same. Glad he’s not coming here, wouldn’t fit our style at all and would put the no di** head policy at risk. Plus I think we can do a lot better than him, he’s good but he’s not in the Botman/ Bruno/Tonali/Isak class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Yep, he's more than good enough to be playing for a club in the mix for Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Honestly not sure where some people are getting the view that Maddison isn't a good player from, I know folk are entitled to their own opinion but he's clearly an upgrade in output to about 80% of our attacking players.

Kanj Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 He’s as good as it gets for an attacking mid + PL experience. If we decided against moving for him, or we’re not prepared to match terms offered than that’s on us - hopefully we do sign an elite attacking mid / winger.

SteV Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Some absolutely wild takes in here since it’s started to become increasingly apparent he was more likely to sign for Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're wild takes though. He's a fantastic footballer, but there are doubts about his workrate, and whether he would fit our style of play. Most people have voiced those concerns for months, got nothing to do with him going to Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) I would love Maddison here but maybe they see 26/27 at the edge of their transfer model? We seem to be looking at similar quality at 21 / 23 bracket but with the option to flip for a profit or extend in 4 years time.
