Is Maddison a joker? (4 Viewers)

[Evo1883]

Il tell you what. I've just watched that Leicester arsenal match and he's an outstanding footballer.. Will be world class (not far off already) and should be one of the first names on the england sheet

That clown Southgate won’t use him next game I bet...won’t be till he moves to a so called top 4 club

You're right. And he's in a very good team.
Think they'll be top 4.
I'd love to go back to the last day of the season when we stayed up and they got relegated to league one and kick myself squarely in the bollocks as I celebrated their 'demise'.

The technique for his goal was outstanding. I thought he might have a quieter season this year as you see a lot of players come into the Premier League perform for a season then go off the boil and never replicate or better what they first showed but he just seems to be going from strength to strength.

6 goals already this season when he got 7 last season.

I was thinking about that earlier as well. It was a short lived victory for us certainly.

He’s good and should be in the national team for sure, but world class? No.
Let’s save that for the likes of Messi/Ronaldinho/Ronaldo.
I wouldn’t put him in the Lampard/Gerrard bracket at present but it’s fair to say he hasn’t been given a chance either.

I think I was beer'ed up that afternoon and went on their forum and took the piss.

Fair play to them though...EPL Champions and looking good for a top 4 spot this season. Regardless of rivalry, money they've had or how they got off with administration many years ago, they're a well run club.

Without doubt. He’d gained a bit of momentum towards to back end of his first season (scored on the last day I think?) but his performance against Wigan on the first day of the next season was sublime. Oddly, some people seem to look back more fondly on Joe Cole than Maddison

Indeed, I messaged SkyBet during the Mowbray season to request odds for him being in England’s Euro 2020 squad. They never got back to me unfortunately. Regretting not going into a betting shop to request odds now!

Oh behave

Problem?

I first saw Maddison play in a pre season friendly v Watford when he came on as a sub.

I'd never really heard of him and I think he was maybe 17 at the time. When I saw him in the warmup I genuinely thought he was a ballboy/mascot, he was absolutely tiny and looked like a boy, not a footballer.

But then he came on for 20/30 mins and you could just instantly see that he had something. The touches and the flicks and movement. It was so obvious that he had incredible talent.

I said to my mate that based on those few minutes I am certain he will play in the Premier League one day and maybe play for England.

Said exactly the same. He made his debut and it changed the way we were playing. He demanded the ball, took every set piece, but what was telling, the other players gave him the ball, and one he was on set pieces...

Yup. If our club weren’t a basket case we could’ve had Maddison, Wilson and co doing the business for us instead.

There was an interview with Pressley a while back and he said the first time he took part in first team training as a 16 year old the rest of the squad were in amaze and bemusement about what they were seeing

I haven't read the whole thread so this may have already been noted but...
Wasn't there a poster on here around the time Maddison was sold who claimed he would never amount to anything more than a very average championship player?

The free kick he scored away at Chesterfield was nearly identical to the one at Southampton a few weeks ago. Can’t teach that technique

Don't disagree but, tobyfair, who in the England team is world class?

don't agree with that. Look at the team Southampton could have had if they kept onto their players.

We will always be a selling club as are pretty much every club in the land apart from a handful

Kane? Sterling? Maybe?

I'm not saying we'd have been able to hold them indefinitely. But we wouldn't have had to sell them to Championship sides.

 

[ccfcway]

maybe, but for balance, we lost George Thomas and Sambou to a prem team, hows that worked out ?

But a lot of us knew Maddison was special. There was never anywhere near the clamour for the other two.

I’ve always thought we’d have been off going down then and rebuilding as SISU would have invested in us an we’d have had the momentum. We were rumoured to be after Coleman and Pearson and look how that turned out.

And yes, they will most likely finish in the top 4 as well this season.

Agreed.

Harry Kane is just fantastic. I watched that Dare to Dream documentary the other day and I can’t think of another player who burys penalties like him and who is as good in the air.

On this it never fails to amuse me when Cov fans (and fans of other lower league clubs) bemoan their young players moving to a Premier League or Championship side but are happy to take young players from the leagues below them.

Take McCallum for example was he supposed to reject Cov and say he wants to play for Herne Bay for another year or two knowing a chance like that might never come along again or believe in his own ability to play league football? Although it didn’t work out for Bosma and Allassani I doubt they have any regrets.

Of course it’s easier to play first team football at our level rather than at a Premier League club but the lure, facilities and chance to better yourself are hard to turn down. And money is always tight at lower league clubs so the young prospects who have some potential are the ones to raise funds

 

[Skybluefaz]

Agreed.

Harry Kane is a poor man's Dion Dublin.

Only half joking as well. Remember Kane is playing in more dominant teams.

And others on here said he wasn’t all that.

Very brave to show on this thread G.

And the first question our owners got asked when they took over the club by the local press was “are you going to sell Michael mifsud”

 

[Grendel]

I bumped it?

 

[ccfcway]

Sadly, I reckon fleck and Maddsion will both be playing in a higher league than us next year

Should have said “2 leagues”

I said that about bayliss and you can take that to the bank

131 goals in 188 league games is incredible in the Premier league to be fair

28 in 43 for England

17 goals in 23 in the champions league too
