Swiss_tony Posted 21 August 2019 Share Posted 21 August 2019 Maddison will be a 100/125m plus player once he's worked out when to pass the ball, and when to keep it in the final third. On sunday for all his bossing of midfield, if he'd released the ball when a top player would've have, we would've had two more goals. As it is, he's a very good player on his way to being a great player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooflip Posted 21 August 2019 Share Posted 21 August 2019 Did nobody see the wolves game? top players don’t over hit every corner. cant stand the lad. Has more bad games than good ones. Big ego, thinks he’s beckham, extremely selfish and seeks glory on his own. Looking forward to receiving a big offer and him moving on personally. He can take his silly cars somewhere else. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniFox21 Posted 21 August 2019 Share Posted 21 August 2019 Senior call up, finally. Hopefully he gets the call and actually sets foot on the pitch this time. It's deserved for his performances last season and so far this year he's looked bright 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtmcfly Posted 21 August 2019 Share Posted 21 August 2019 (edited) Apols is this already posted. Not had chance to read it yet, but it was written by the guy who said Soyuncu looked 'immobile' in the Chelsea game report, so I'm not expecting much... https://www.football365.com/news/james-maddison-and-the-chance-to-be-more-than-david-bentley Edit: read it now - pretty decent. Makes a good point about him not letting either the first half or mistakes in the second get him down, but making him try harder (and the hard work coming to something). This from the end; 'And that’s really the point: you arrive at the stadium with one impression, you leave with another. In this instance, you take your seat knowing that Maddison is a fine ball-striker blessed with self-confidence, technique and style, but you get up and leave having seen him grind for the right to express those gifts...it layers him with a texture that he wasn’t thought to have. Those who watch him more regularly may already know that' Those who watch him have certainly layered this thread with a great deal of (cough) texture.

Doesn’t encourage young players to move to sides outside the top 6 and play more football to help their improvement when they can be apart of the big club’s youth setups/reserves, get a couple games in the starting 11 and get called up. Fully agree with you. What's the point in performing well for a Top 10 prem team, when you potentially get jumped by a player having spent a season in the champ and 2 games in the prem. At times the national team does make it seem as if they rate a squad or reserve player in a Top 6 team over a regular and consistent started in a Top 10 team.

ARM1968 Posted 21 August 2019 Share Posted 21 August 2019 If you take into account player inflation and the likelihood that Madders will have an even better season than last, he’ll be nudging £100 million come the summer. Our owners would be unlikely to sell for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 23 August 2019 Share Posted 23 August 2019 Just a word of caution on Maddison, every time he's been close to an England call up he's not done very well and then as soon as he's been left out he scores the game afterwards. I hope tomorrow's game see's him have a blinder and he gets in the squad but sometimes he tries too hard and as a result is more of a nuisance than a benefit, if he settles down tomorrow and relaxes he could have a field day.

If he starts in the midfield 3, he will have fun. Hopefully that report about Rodgers trying him in different positions sees Maddison move to the midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have matured a fair bit over the last season, and getting advice from Rodgers rather than Puel has probably helped him with that. He seems to have softened a little bit from the overly-cocky mindset he started out with (pretty natural for a PL debutant at 21) and has his head screwed on, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if he's approaching this one with the mindset that "If it happens, it happens" (w.r.t. a callup) and will be fully focussed on Leicester first and foremost.

lcfc sheff Posted 23 August 2019 Share Posted 23 August 2019 With the way the media are hyping him which is reminiscent of the Maguire talk. I could see him going for £80m+ in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to realise that a lot of these players have their paths planned out from a young age. They go through the national youth set ups with coaches planning when and how they will be put into the full national squad. I agree it's not always fair on the late bloomers that have to graft their way to get noticed. Edited 24 August 2019 by srex9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Fox Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 Granted Mount was gifted a goal against us, but people saying that’s why he’s in the squad is very shortsighted. He’s clearly got talent and the reason he’s had less PL experience is because Chelsea have some very good players in his position. He would have been starting had he been at a mid table club similar to ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should build the team around him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livid Posted 25 August 2019 Share Posted 25 August 2019 I know a lot say he goes down easily but if you don’t go down you don’t get the free kick. That doesn’t bother me. What gets me me a little is when he doesn’t get the decision he kneels there with his arms outstretched looking at the ref appealing. Get up and get involved! As a player I can’t really fault him.
