Clearly a one off as he’s been raved about otherwise. Given he’s likely cost though, wouldn’t be surprised if the club look more towards that young Argentinian lad, Perrone?

Mazzy Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Just watching Saturday Social and they've got a piece with Maddison and James Justin. Never really heard Maddison speak for any length of time but he actually comes across quite well, speaks well (better than some current pundits) and he does seem like the like the kind of guy who would be good around the dressing room and training ground. Really do hope we've got an interest in him this January or at very least in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Maybe I’ve read and forgot about from before, but Maddison has the same agency as Trippier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems Maddison only obvious upgrade for now Expand Looking at the fixtures, we could go into Feb unbeaten. We'll at least still be around the top 4 when the window is closing. We'll have a massive chance to attract some top talent, players we still have no right in going for. Everyone is noticing us now. Hopefully we announce some big deals soon ready for next season and tempt an absolute star in early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Those players that weren't sold on the project before.. ..I expect they will have changed their minds. Who we cut from the squad gets stickier but we have room for 1 or 2. More will probably fuck the squad up a bit as someone that has contributed will have to go.

jwclark2342 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) We need some depth to keep going. One more striker, DM and winger. Bench is still an issue. Edited November 12, 2022 by jwclark2342 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A striker, DM and winger like you suggest will cost more than we will be prepared to spend this window. Wood can be replaced in the summer- other positions are more important to improve.

Pilko Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Wood signed a 2.5 year deal so you'd imagine we might try and fetch a fee for him this summer. No way we sell in January unless we get a silly offer, no need to rock the boat in terms of the team spirit either as he clearly is well-liked.

jwclark2342 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 But does our current league position give the owners a reason to go for it this year? Secure CL status and maybe make a deep cup run? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Definitely need to get a quality pressing winger, a physically imposing centre-mid and a quality young right-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Not sure how realistic, but I do think that we could do with 2 or 3 close-to-first-11 quality players in January. We play with such intensity that with the limited alternatives we currently have, burnout is a considerable risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
