Not a signing to really move the needle imo. Streaky and drifts in and out of games too much from my (admittedly fairly limited) viewing of him.
Really? A quick Google and the only misbehaviour I could find was breaching Covid lockdown rules.Yes, he's a massive bellend in real life by quite a few accounts, which even stems from his time at Coventry.
We are changing formation and having a 10 will be vital - we currently don't really have anybody in the squad who plays there so it's an important signing for us. Also, we are selling Winks for £10 million to them so essentially we get Maddison for £30 million plus Winks. That's bloody good business if you ask me.He's more of a 10 than a midfielder though isn't he?
Would have thought they could spend their money on someone more beneficial.
Is Parrot still there? Not heard about him for ages.We are changing formation and having a 10 will be vital - we currently don't really have anybody in the squad who plays there so it's an important signing for us.

He was on loan last season but to be honest I think it's likely he will move on. Dane Scarlett however looks like he could make it though he is at least another year away and will need another loan. The big striker talent other than that in our youth sides is Jamie Donley.Is Parrot still there? Not heard about him for ages.
Yep, I read about him on reddit and some I read some of the comments, started to dislike Maddison.Really? A quick Google and the only misbehaviour I could find was breaching Covid lockdown rules.
Do you remember any of the details? Seemed like a good guy in interviews.Yep, I read about him on reddit and some I read some of the comments, started to dislike Maddison.
There are some very dumb tweets he sent out several years ago - funny enough mostly directed at Gareth Bale and Spurs - he has since apologised and in the past few years he has matured and is actually very professional in interviews. He has a couple of kids now so I think he has generally wised up.Yep, I read about him on reddit and some I read some of the comments, started to dislike Maddison.
It's essentially £30 million plus Winks who is going the other way for £10 million. There may be some add-on's as there is with almost every deal but at most they will be £5-10 million extra so at worst we get him for £40 million plus Winks if all add-ons are enacted. That's a pretty good deal all things considered and especially when you see the sorts of figures for similar home grown players.For whatever reason, they are doing the Alexis MacAllister thing of not reporting the (reportedly quite realistic) add ons in the fee. Apparently it will be around 50m with addons.

Might be Parott not sure but he was a beast in football manager.Is that a real person?

Its not 50 million though - stop adding 10 million on just to try and make a point! We are signing him for 40 million.From what I read from people on the LCFC side, the Winks deal is 10m only if all add ons are achieved so Tottenham is trying to have it both ways in framing the terms.
I think its a perfectly good deal for Maddison - who I rate - but not some kind of coup at 50m given Mount is costing around 55-60m and Havertz 60-65m and those players are a couple years younger.
Getting any money at all for Harry Winks is a good deal too.
I seem to remember that Maddison is a United fan, so if ETH was interested, we could have probably done the deal. I guess ETH disagrees with you, or at least feels that Mount is a better fit for his system.Better than Mount.

Have to say 'apparnetly' as I wouldn't want the Caf getting into trouble but when on a night out coming through at Coventry, someone didn't know who he was so got his mate to give them a hiding.Do you remember any of the details? Seemed like a good guy in interviews.
This./Even if they were trying to, I don't think they could have bought a more Spurs type player than Maddison.

Five year deal
That’s his career done at Spurs then.
He looks like the archetypal Spurs player, what you would imagine a Spurs player to look like. Similar to a Jamie Redknapp or Harry Winks.
Probably due to Leicester being relegated.Am I missing something - how is Maddison moving for £40m and Mount being quoted at the low end by Chelsea at £65m?
Good signing. Much better than Mount
