Lets hope this Maddison lad can produce the goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 21 June 2018 Share Posted 21 June 2018 5 hours ago, AKCJ said: The best thing about that video of him is that it's clear that he doesn't mess about. He's constantly wanting to attack and be very direct. I think Vardy could profit from his arrival immensely. Maddison doesn't just get the ball and spray it out for the winger in the hope that they do something with it. He looks like the kind of player that takes a game by the scruff of it's neck. Him and Diabate both love running straight at defences, very exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volpeazzurro Posted 21 June 2018 Share Posted 21 June 2018 17 hours ago, murphy said: I think the opposite is true. He is buying the right players to fit his preferred system (4-2-3-1) hence the attacking right back and no.10 but I agree that the signings we have made so far are very pleasing. I don't think Puel is the most flexible of managers. When he was sacked at Southampton after an 8th place finish and cup final he was asked to change his style to keep his job and refused. I think I'd lose a bit of respect for him if he hadn't refused mind. Yes I'd read that somewhere as well but can understand his refusal. If the club weren't prepared to fund the purchase of players to enable a different style of play, to just change it on a wim would be suicidal and he'd take all the blame. The proof was in the pudding as Southampton avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth. His French teams supposedly tried to play decent football. We'll see.

volpeazzurro Posted 21 June 2018 Share Posted 21 June 2018 17 hours ago, Gerard said: If our three signings so far fail to live up to expectation I won't complain about Puel, Rudkin, Macia or whoever. I believe we've signed three of the best players available to us this summer and all in positions we've been crying out for. On paper I'm 100% happy with our incomings so far and can't criticise in the slightest. If you compare this to our business over the last few season we've had some terrible signings that looked awful buys even before they arrived here. We were warned by CSKA and Nigeria fans about Musa being a carthorse that turned it on occasionally. Benalouane was voted one of the worst players in Serie A. Slimani never had a chance as he was overpriced and came here as a round peg trying to fit in a round hole. Iborra was ageing and a reserve for Sevilla. Think all of that is spot on and it's very difficult to criticise any of these 3 signings. Sometimes for seemingly no good reason, players who are bought in good faith and appear very suitable just don't make the impact hoped with nobody really to blame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TeePee Posted 21 June 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 21 June 2018 Thought I'd stick my head in to give a bit of local knowledge on James Maddison, only to find that apparently over half of you bastards live in Norfolk anyway! I've seen Maddison a few times this season when Norwich have been on telly, and he's consistently been a standout player. He's always seemed willing to take on his man without being too reckless with it, doesn't seem to be fazed when teams try to kick him out of the game, and his range of passing is excellent - I genuinely think him and Vardy could be a frightening partnership once they get together. He's one of those players I look at and don't just think 'you're pretty decent for the Championship, you could probably be playing in the Prem', I'm thinking 'You have no business whatsoever playing at this level' - the last player I did that with was some Algerian bloke. Marroz? Murhez? I forget his name, but he turned out alright, I think. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ncfc123 Posted 22 June 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 22 June 2018 Gutted to see him go, even after being resigned to it since before the season finished, but delighted for him that he's got a move that seems a really good fit for him. He's far too good to go to a team in a relegation battle, like Pritchard did from is in January, and even though I think given time he could work his way into a Spurs or Liverpool starting XI, a club like Leicester, a solid top 10 team who will be aiming for Europe this season, is the ideal move for him. You get a talented young player who will improve your team and contribute a lot in terms of goals and assists, and he gets plenty of starts and game-time at a high level. Great move for all parties. I've said it numerous times in the transfer thread but you really are getting an exceptional player, and anyone who's watched him regularly won't have any doubt that that he is on his way to the top. I give it a year/18 months at most before he doubles his £25m price tag and is an England regular. I have no doubts that he'll fit your style perfectly and I honestly cannot wait to see how his career pans out. Wish you lot and him all the best! 10 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kind of hoping, everything crossed it might have been a deal where you'd loan him back to us for a year but know in my heart it would'nt happen with that kind of money involved. Hey ho, huge money for us and I jest you not - He'll be playing for England within two years. Seen, Eadie (who you guys will know well), Fleck, Huckerby, Crook, O'Neil, Sutton at Carrow road and I'd pick him over all them. Good luck Madderz and good luck next season Leicester. Cheers Andy Madderz is not a bad nickname but he'd fit in better here if he was Medderz. We'll surely just call him Madeh (being as mehdi is already taken).

Callabinho Posted 22 June 2018 Share Posted 22 June 2018 This will make you giggle, apparently prior to us signing Madders, he received a call from Mark Hughes, he was saying he wanted to sign him so could he come and have a look around the training facilities and meet with him and the coaching staff.... James in good taste called Hughes pretty much straight after he put pen to paper to tell sparky that he had sighed for us, apparently Hughes just hung up on him mid sentence haha..... Hes also been told by Puel that he’s going to be the number 10 for next season, so looks like he is going to be integral to plans, and may help predict the potential formation? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
