Cracking player but seems to have completely shrunk in Leicester’s fight to stay up, been shite and attitude has been horrific by all accounts. Then again I’m sure Eddie will sort that.

Can happen to any player tbh - just needs to get out of there and start afresh - being in a scrap can take it out of players mentally Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I like Maddison, but I wonder if I just have 'Paqueta' feelings towards him. You lot will know better, but I'm trying to work out where he would play. Left side of attack is the obvious one and I reckon Isak will make that spot his own.

Mikky Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Having a player like Maddison allows us to play 433 4231 4141 4411 442 - just this one player allows us to be so flexible, which we need to be next season - I’m all for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison wouldn't make us any more flexible on that score and while he offers an attacking threat greater than what we have I'm not sure if he can add off the ball.

Part of the reason Maddison is such an exciting signing is his ability to play effectively in so many positions. Playing at home against a bottom half side who are sitting deep? Play him on the right of the 3 in midfield and he can move forward, effectively meaning we can transition into a 4-2-3-1 with him as the 10. Playing against a top side? Play him on the right of the front 3 and he can drop back and play as another midfield presence when needed. He adds something we don't currently have.

We don't have any alternatives. I'd like to see Isak himself with Maddison & an ASM type. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure he can do that. Edited May 10, 2023 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably my ignorance of not seeing enough of him, but when we played them up here he looked so lightweight and simply not good enough.

McCormick Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Despite his passing being a bit suspect, Gallagher would be a very good signing. Doesn’t solve the glaring need for a 6 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what we should be going for either imo. We will play against quite a few teams that sit back in the near future and he needs space. Want someone with more flair and creativity. But also reasonably dynamic. Edited May 10, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m sure we can get him for cheaper than 50. He’s surely at the point now where he’d be pushing for a move and, Liverpool aside, I can’t see any “bigger” clubs than us going for him.
