This is exactly my viewpoint. I do think though that Maddison will disappoint and probably turn around and sold for the same price next year, but that's absolutely not what Spurs need anymore. They need players who are going to come in and run the shop. If you think he's that good well I guess you'll see then because nothing I can say will change your mind until you see it. He has to come in and defer to other players, that's not how he plays.

I agree with you and WBS; but I also think Spuds is probably just Maddison’s level in a vacuum

He was better than MacAllister last season, just like he has been every season and will continue to do so.

39 goals over 3 season compared to 20, more assists, more key passes. Everything

Totally different players, not even remotely comparable. And this is coming from someone who thinks Mac Allister has gotten over-hyped.

Yep because goals are the only thing that matters. If that was true maybe Harry Kane would celebrate the end of a season for once in his life.

Winks was highly rated by Spurs fans on here now he will play in the 2nd division...

This move is very typical of Spurs a lot of money on a player that will not move the needle. Why not take the Brighton approach and invest in younger players who are unproven in the EPL?

I never liked Winks, don’t rate Skipp at all either. It’s the British Spurs fans that love them, I don’t think international fans really rated him or Skipp.

Skipp is such a zero

Re: Winks, injuries in your legs that young can be a destroyer. A couple years with recurring surgery-requiring ankle problems can be devastating. He was highly rated to an extent that exceeded his potential, I think (dined out on a very good performance against Real Madrid for awhile), but was a solid midfielder with the prospects to have a Michael Carrick-esque career.

I think he'll move the needle a decent amount. There wasn't a shred of creativity in Tottenham's midfield last year. None at all. Hojbjerg was their most creative midfielder last year. He'll get double-digit assists just crossing to Kane. That's not to say he's amazing (my words above stand), but he'll do a job for them and gives them something they don't have.
 
Heard a lot about how great Skip and Richarlison were around this time last year…..
 
Savant is salivating over this current pile-on against Spurs in this thread.

That must have been some time ago. You should know very well that players don't progress linearly.

Doesn't move the needle? Young prospects usually take time to develop to players of Maddison's caliber.

Yeah I’m also not trying to pile on. I only comment about something at this point if I don’t like the signing or player. No intention of saying further.

Whats the goal here for Spurs? I dont see it, I think he's a decent talent but Id rather get younger players and build a proper squad. This is more duct tape.

It is what it is, he was rated on here and now he isnt. Thats a all im saying.

I would hope a young player has bigger aspirations than becoming "Maddison's caliber player"

I’ve just never seen a game involving Maddison where I thought to myself “wow, we really need to sign that guy” I think he’s probably a Europa League caliber player and that’s probably best case scenario for Tottenham. Don’t really have anything else say on the matter. Probably won’t get relegated this season?
 
I just find it funny. This is the only place I see people thinking it's a bad signing. Overwhelmingly praised everywhere else. And no, not just on biased Spurs-centric boards. £30M + a deadwood player is an absolute coup for someone like Maddison in the current market

So just so we can get something on the record, what are your expectations for next season of Maddison/your team? And how did he move the needle compared to yesterday? I find it’s funny how aggressively y’all are gassing him up; especially after the Richarlison commentary on here this time last year

I was always sceptical of Richarlison's ability, just that he isn’t this toxic asshole everyone portrays him as. I've discussed this enough previously.

Maddison will provide creativity and proactivity that Spurs midfield has sorely lacked for a long time.

How many goals? How many assists ? Is he taking dead balls? Where is Tottenham finishing in the table?

I'd be more than happy with a combined goals + assists of ten for that price. Last question obviously depends on the rest of the window.
