I've no doubt Szoboszlai is good but Maddison seems like a safe bet and much cheaper. Expand Would be happy with either one. Maddison is PL ready and offers something we dont have in the team. Szobo from another league, but still got lots of CL and national experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Hopefully the Szoboszlai deal is the one. He looks a unit and would fit right in. Much prefer that to a diving little scrote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Haaland and Mane are the exceptions but there's been quite a few Red Bull flops to the PL now. Both of those had an intimediary step before they went to a top PL club rather than direct. Keita and Werner at the expensive end. Leeds have had a nightmare with them - Augustin, Adams, Aaronsen, Wober etc. Not really a hit amongst them. Patson Daka at Leicester, Hwang at Wolves. All cost far more than their output. Minamino was on the cheap cos of a buyout clause but wasn't much cop either. RB clubs have a pretty distinct style of play and recruitment model that gives a platform for players to thrive but have enough money behind them that means asking for big £££ when they sell.

SAK Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Are we not a system team? High coordinated press, get ball forward quickly, left back tucking in and making back three, right back moving upfield to make additional wide player, right wide player interchanging with right back to get in crosses or a shot off at goal. Not sure how compatible RB Leipzig’s system is with ours as not really watched them other than one CL match against City but if I recall correctly they had the same high press and energy.

Expand Yeah we are, I just think a lot of their players struggle outside of that specific RB system, there are outliers of course it just increases the risk factor, added to the fact no one can defend it inflates attacking numbers.
