Holden McGroin 6542 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 You can’t turn down Madrid. I suspect he’ll stay unless they give Levy what he wants (which might mean he’ll go for a free in the summer). Madrid really need a striker though. Good game of cat and mouse coming up.

Ayatollah Hermione 13835 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 If anything, he needs to get to 285 to beat Shearer’s top flight record. Somewhere around there anyway and he’s not getting anywhere near Greaves. The PL record has always been an artificial one 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44488 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I've never understood why more British players don't go abroad. Especially when fucking Real Madrid come calling. Get out of your London shitheap, get yourself a Scarface mansion with a pool and spend your evenings sat out in the sun, you big chinned prick. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Not exactly a shocking assertion from Sky Sports given Spurs aren't even in the Europa Conference, their best player is likely going, and their new manager is unproven at the top level. If Maddison was still pushing to join Spurs, seemingly only because they're in London, I wouldn't want him at the club anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston 41 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Id rather Maddison then Szoboszlai. Maddison slots straight in whereas there's the risk that Szoboszlai doesn't handle the EPL. Maddisons stats are up there with the best in the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison slots straight in whereas there's the risk that Szoboszlai doesn't handle the EPL. Maddisons stats are up there with the best in the league. You’re right about Maddison edging it on PL experience and his goal contributions the past few seasons for Leicester are first class. The only thing about Maddison is where he slots into our system. His best role is “number 10”. Szoboszlai might work better as a “number 8” in Howe’s 4-3-3. So the questions is whether Howe signs him with a view to changing the system to more of a 4-2-3-1 or does he play him at “number 8”, or our wide, where he’s potentially less effective? Caveat: this is based on what I’ve read about Szoboszlai. I haven’t see much live footage of him, other than his YouTube showreel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBass 2649 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I guess it all depends on where Howe see's Bruno playing for us going forward. We sign Maddison then perhaps he prefers Bruno in that number 8 role, sign Szoboszlai then maybe Bruno will be used as a number 10. Sign both then we have cover for all scenarios.

Our two main attacking midfield targets appear to me to be attacking midfielders who can do an extensive range of things on the pitch. Which is why the absence of a what you kids are calling a 6 is bugging me a bit as I was informed that getting one in was key to releasing Bruno . Which makes me think who’s on the bench out of these 3? It’s just not adding up for me at the moment but am sure all will become clear 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
