McCormick Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I get the impression that Maddison will hold out for a CL team in London, either in this window or the next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looks like the next big thing alongside Bellingham. Eh didn’t Benfica win their group? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Arsenal- won't sign Maddison as they have Odegaard. City- Yes but that would be indulgent and Pep has said they aren't spending. Chelsea- would throw silly wages at Maddison and I could see them being willing to pay more but would he see them as a good project? Spurs- think they will target other areas, doesn't really suit their system. Liverpool- I think Maddison would be an amazing signing for Liverpool, perhaps an alternate to Bellingham. Man United- They should be looking at him but they have just signed Antony, Casemiro and Eriksen and again there's talk of a lack of funds. In short, if we have done our work, we have as good a chance as any. We'd have to make him our top earner, I suspect.

maze Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Would Matty Cash be a decent backup (I know he's 25 y/o) to Trippier? Don't know what he'd cost us though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Can't see us signing a RB who's a starter at another club given they'll definitely be second-fiddle to Trippier and Krafth will be back in contention once fit. Might go back in for that Ashby seeing as he's rejected a contract at the Hammers. Manquillo's time is surely up though aye. If Maddison is no longer realistic I signing I assume we'll go Brazilian; feels a bit 'no smoke without fire' where those links are concerned.

Pilko Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Drameh (right-back) from Leeds linked in their local paper today - just played against our U23 side the other week & fits the bill, similar age and level of experience to Ashby who we tried to get last time.

Matty Cash is more likely to be a long term replacement to Trippier than a back up. For me, unless you are binning off Krafth, it has to be a CB who can play RB. Preferably someone young with technical ability who can be Schars understudy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Cash would be an awful long term replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Someone like Lamptey could be a decent back up. He's not getting much of a game at Birghton but if we could get his fitness and injury record we could drip him into the first team when Trippier needs rotated while also providing a threat with his pace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ticks all the boxes. So much potential there. Brighton would probably cash in too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Lamptey is a great shout. Injury record would be a serious concern but with the talent he has, you'd take the risk if it's a reasonable fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgarve Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I honestly would sign a left back - a trippier style left back … Maddison or someone of that ilk would be good this is going to be controversial but would you sell ASM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I hope we go for a wide forward. If we do then between a left/right sided I think I’d go for a left sided one. Didn’t think I’d say this before the season started. Unlikely but Mudryk would be a dreamy signing. Blooody explosive with end product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blooody explosive with end product. I agree I think we need some more firepower to open teams up and creativity to take the pressure off Bruno and give more bench impact. I agree with people about a RB coming in who can cover for Trippier at least til end of the season though I’d say left back is more pressing (but will likely be addressed in summer).

Eddie seems to be on the lookout for a wide attacking player in a 4-3-3, and of the three main ones that we have (ASM, Almiron, Isak), I can see ASM being the most vulnerable. He plays very much as an individual, and while I think he's tried to adjust, I also think he's struggled with Eddie's team emphasis on and off the pitch. If selling him frees up the funding to bring in a more compatible player, then it would make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
