Everton lead scramble for Maddison

[Brisan123]

Jay Rodriguez is being touted around for £20m so £25m for this lad isn’t so bad really lol

Jesus I thought you typed James Rodiguez there for a sec lol

Would rather we actually used Dowell or Vlasic and see what they can do than spending crazy money on a 22 yr old who'd a decent season last year in the championship and because his english his worth over 25m :-( We need youth vibrance, energy and tryers in our squad so lets see what we have can do

Dowell faded significantly/couldn't get in the team at Nottingham Forest.
Vlasic was signed because he done alright against a poor Everton side.

Don’t get people saying we don’t need another 10. Rooney is leaving, Klassen likely as well. That leaves Gylfi who doesn’t play 10 exclusively. Signing a 21 year old as his backup with likely spot starts makes perfect sense if the price is right, so long as Klassen is actually shifted on.

Also seen this guy plays box to box as well. No idea on that really.

If we got 20m for Klassen then maybe itv would be worth adding a couple of million to sign this lad.
I honestly feel the squad needs to be seriously culled over the next 3 windows before we can add young potential. I’m talking 22/23 of the present incumbents gone

Dowell can be used sparingly over the season and does'nt need to play 38 games or more Vlasic has had a stop/start season and done alright on both right and left wings when given minutes so why not let him play like he did for former team Would rather rotate the 2 lads we already have than over spend and add more wages to already bloated squad! We've Dowell, Vlasic and Lookman as "potential" players for us so we need to use them or we'll eventually lose them as they'll see their not getting opportunities to play

 

[Brisan123]

Just imagine Lozano, Maddison, Siggy, Lookman, Walcott in the blue of Everton, I know it would very difficult to put them in the same team, but I can dream can't I.

If he’s as good as people think him Siggy and Gana as a midfield 3 would give s bit of balance.
I’d prefer someone with s more physical presence who can carry the ball at speed.
The next Viera so to speak

Vlasic was being tracked earlier than that, but the point is still a good one. What if Maddison is just a lot better than these guys? If Siggy goes down, who steps into that pivot/10 role? It’s a critical role for Silva’s tactics. Davies? Not sure he’s the right fit there.

 

[Brisan123]

Can't compete with Leicester.

But, they are seen as a bigger club and more succesful in recent years than us.

If the lad is choosing Leicester over us because it’s nearer to Coventry then it says more about him than us.
God help him if Barca come in for him

 

[Brisan123]

Norwich seems to rate him very high. They're describing him as an unreal talent, most talented footballer they have ever seen in Norwich shirt and a future England's number 10.

Interesting.

They are hardly going to say he’s bang average , are they

don't think Vlasic is a bad player all even though it's probably true what you're saying.

 

[mightymoyes]

Seen him play for England u21s, be disappointed if we signed him and didn't give dowell more opportunities who looks a better prospect.

Vlasic was on the radar of some of the bigger clubs in Europe before we signed him.
Not saying we signed him over them but Real , Bayern and a few others were watching him

Best player seen in Norwich shirt doesn't necessarily mean he's any good..nor England for that matter

 

[buededw1]

Not a very high bar that

50% Sarcasm my comment.

He may be choosing Leicester as they are a more sucessful club than us in his lifetime.
