The type that can play a game that is quick, vertical from defence to attack. Suits counter attacks, end-to-end. Athletic, quick passing. Think KDB, Sterling, Haaland, Son, Isak, Joelinton, Klopp Liverpool. Maddison can play on the counter with his passing but he's equally adept playing a slower passing game. But if a game is too end-to-end he can get lost Edited May 4, 2023 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Yuge red flags all over anyone who has only played RB football even if he does look like he could pass for Schar's younger brother and has a raker lass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 20 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: Gave him the Youtube test..... creativity wise I prefer Maddison by a long shot. A lot of his creativity comes from set pieces and Nkunku turning half chances into goals. Seems a more vertical type player which is good. And of course... Bundesliga tax. I don't think they are that far off creatively, however Szoboszlai is more of a ball carrier and so he will do that a lot more, while Maddison will move the ball with his passing more often as he won't carry it as much, so I hear you. I think Szobozslai's athleticism and physicality is better suited to Howe's style of play, and he is a full 4 years younger, and so will have room to grow still, and so for me I like the fit more. He's looked really comfortable against Prem sides in the Champions League too, and so think he will transition to the league very nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) I wonder if we adapt our strategy this summer to targeting more non PL players, we take on more risk that way but the upside is also potentially far higher not to mention the absurd value that can be found outside the PL (think Bruno and Botman). It will come down to who the targets are and the confidence management have in each individual one but I feel we might break the trend we have seen so far of the majority of our incomings having prior PL experience. The fact we are in Europe likely won’t change the planned financial outlay in terms of fees/wages, but it will change the targets and amplify the need for depth across some of our key positions. Dipping into the European market may be a way of balancing that out. Edited May 4, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
