We didn't have much of a choice considering the release clause, the fact we were direct competitors with the club he was at, and the situation we were in. People are a little stressed in this thread because it feels like we're a couple pieces away from a real push for the top 8. Imagine if we were in the fucking Championship right now? I still think Burnley would have stayed up with Wood and Dyche Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sign Maddison he can play CM but more advanced is better for him. There must be a half decent CM though we can get on loan. I think Willock, Bruno, Joe are fine as a 3, Longstaff is fine as backup but if we pick up an extra injury who starts? Can we recall Hayden? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Perhaps this makes Maddison worth slightly more to us now? He obviously doesn't cover the same position or role as Shelvey but he can certainly play in that midfield 3 so counts as an extra body to move people around. Maybe this necessity adds an extra 10m onto our next bid rather than going for another CM entirely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he a £25m player? Christ no. But which other options were available for that (or less) that wouldn't need any time to adapt to the PL, with the added bonus of weakening a direct rival? Not a great signing. Maybe not even a particularly good one. But definitely not a bad one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
