He will leave in the summer without doubt, assuming we can hold him in Jan. Shame, class player and seemingly decent bloke since he became a dad, delighted to have been wrong about him. 

I think he's always been a good lad and always spoken well in the media. The jury was out for me whether he had the desire to fully realise his potential. Since becoming a dad it seems to have brought out the best in him and to see him grafting at a training camp over the summer instead of spending 4/5 weeks on lads holidays was immense to see. Hopefully when that clown Southgate gets sacked, the next manager will appreciate the work madders has been putting in.

Carries on this form for us I will risk divorce from the wife and remortgage my house just to fund his next satchel 

[Hamilton Fox]

We need to be offering him the Vardy / Schmeichel money or else he will be off. I know people will say we’re wage ratio to high bla bla but just get rid of the dead wood to make this happen

[jonthefox]

I'm sure that free kick was Madders 50th goal for the club .

Hope he signs a new contract. On his way to becoming a Leicester legend if he stays 

[LestaAl]

He has to be on the WC plane now surely.

[Royston.]

10/10

Maddison's form in the last year has been sensational. He's completely saved us. We'd have been in relegation trouble without him last season.

 

He's gonna be smoking some packs when that weirdo Southgate bottles it against Iran.

Neville saying that there are question marks of a potential attitude problem that could be holding him back internationally but couldn't say where he'd seen it

Wait he interviewed Maddison? Surprised Neville actually spared us of the usual United meltdown monologue that hasn't been funny/interesting for about eight years.

The giveaway that madders is going to be leaving is that he refers to England players as playing at “the big clubs”. He said it last night and it’s down to Southgate’s bias. 

[Bunchy the cat]

I noticed ‘the big clubs’ statement as well. I’m hoping it was just a dig at Southgate rather than admitting he’s going to be looking at transferring to one of them🤞🏼

[HybridFox]

Happy that at least the media are giving him the recognition he deserves. Let's hope that nonce in charge has finally had his eye test

[StanSP]

Love his confidence in his ability

If madders can keep his stats up over the next month then Southgate has a huge problem 

if he doesn’t take him (and let’s face it, he doesn’t want to), he writes his own resignation letter if we can’t break down the Germans in the last 16 … well he should but the FA wouldn’t ….

 

so all madders can do is carry on playing well and stare Southgate down ….

Probably hurts Southgate's ego that he's a better tactician than him 

[Fear Of The Fox]

Obviously Maddison wants to be at the World Cup but as a Leicester fan I'd rather have him here. The big difference is that Madders wants to be there and play a major part in the national team. I have a feeling he'll be called and won't even be subbed in or he'll play a minor part as a sub when we're getting battered already in the group stage. 

That said and taking into account that he's a player whose confidence drops immensely when he's not playing, I fear he'll come back from there drained. 

[ithuriel]

Have a feeling Southgate will have to take him, too many questions every press conference if not and then most probably, eventually forced to use him when things are not  going well.

I want him there. Mostly because he deserves it. Secondly, because it sends the message that he doesn’t have to leave to get in.

I agree, there are 2 sides of the coin. The pessimist in me described the worse scenario if he gets the call. He might get the call and be the key player there. It's more than obvious that the national squad needs a player like him. 

[Dames]

Mad that this time last year I was writing him off and was saying he's peaked. Proven me and a lot of other people wrong.

👏

 

England would be stronger with a player like him and Southgate needs to get it and send a message that you don’t have to be playing for the rich elite to get in the squad. 

[Realist Guy In The Room]

He is such a good player.

 

I think i’d miss him more than Mahrez when he eventually leaves.

[Tuna]

Southgate has about 12 defenders in his squad, he doesn't need that many it's ridiculous. Southgate does pick from non established top six sides - Guehi, Toney, Rice - what's the issue with Maddison?

 

Like I said in the match thread journos ought to go in hard on Southgate and ask tough questions and don't let him get away with it, like Pat Murphy did to Pearson on ostrichgate.

 

It's basically negligent at this stage not to select him. Look at the stats.

We don't need Reece James, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-Arnold in the England squad at the same time!
