enmac Posted 15 April 2021 Posted 15 April 2021 Maddison is a top Premier league player who'd get in most teams but I can't see him ever playing for Real Madrid, which is my very crude definition of world class. Barcelona also fits.

Depends on if he wants champions league or Europa League.
HeskeyForever Posted 15 April 2021 Posted 15 April 2021 Even with Wes, Fuchs and probably Benkovic leaving at the end of this season I don't see us going for another CB, unless they're young and from a lower league. With our established 3, we have Amartey who's shown he's decent enough as a back up and although it's not ideal, Wilf filling in if we absolutely must works too. I reckon Brendan's made it fairly clear that a striker, a winger and a CM much further on in our list of priorities.

Maddison will never play for Real or Barca but my argument was that if Yazici is the spit of Ozil then he's better served giving the PL a miss because he would possibly struggle.

It will certainly have toughened him up. Benko's loan has been a waste of time and done nothing for his career but Josh should be worth hanging on to.

Don't know much about Yazici. Doubt very much that he's anywhere his level.

I can't say I know much about him. What are his strengths? Can he play in a back 4? Is he decent in the air? Thanks in advance for your input. 1

Mostly seen him with Peterborough, very mature for his age, excellent in the air and no doubt his positional play is improving all the time with Wycombe given the pressure they are constantly under. 1

sacreblueits442 Posted 15 April 2021 Posted 15 April 2021 5 hours ago, enmac said: But who was playing up front for Arsenal when Ozil was at his peak? Can't remember, but no one with Vardy's pace,surely. I think he would have been ideal for Vardy. Probably why Wenger wanted to sign him. My point is that his assists would have been far higher playing behind Vards IMO. ...Rooney implored Ferguson to buy him!!! He was in an Arsenal team which lacked a backbone, they drifted apart and Ozils politics was not endearing. 1

No, but I've got in to a debate with someone about Mesut Ozil who was distinctly ordinary in his time in England and as he has similar playing style to Yusuf I was pointing out that he'd be better served in Italy or Spain. Ozan Tufan is welcome here though, love him.

At the top of his game he was unreal. The rot that is arsenal unfortunately got to him though 2

The bottom line for me is that he could never cope with the physical demands of the PL. My lasting memory of him is Henderson fighting and taking the ball off him midfield for one of the 4 goals in 20 mins match when Rodgers was at Liverpool. Ate him alive. No way is he coming here.

For a 3-4 year period he was probably the best pure playmaker in the league. 3
