Player Watch Player Watch: James Maddison

[npearl4spurs]

Nah they would say speak American.

'Merican

 

[Gassin's finest]

Pretty sure he's (mis)quoting Jules in Pulp Fiction.

He's exactly the signing that Mourinho and Conte would never have made, both personally and tactically.

It's why I love him.

And if the club had signed him those managers would have ruined him regardless. He's joined at exactly the right time and, for me, symbolises the new direction of our club. Just the perfect player at the perfect time.

I think Jose might have done ok with Maddison - he used Sneijder as a creative 10 and hub at Inter, albeit in a more defensive overall set up. Can’t think of a more unsuitable fit for Conte though - don’t think he has ever given a central player any freedom in that 10 role

who knows. Instead he got Gedson Fernandes.

Christ. That's a player I'd 100% forgotten was ever here.

A proper Roger Nilsen of a signing

I still think he's the answer to right back

But then Conte won serie a by integrating Eriksen into the trequartista role.

He played left side of a 3 man midfield

 

[matty74]

Expecting him to open his assist or goal account at home for the 1st time tomorrow. Remarkable that all his goal involvements have come away from home

 

[poc]

He is coming across very well in the post match interview.

He always does comes across well in interviews, it's great to see.

 

[spurs mental]

Love this guy so much.

First name I've had on a jersey since Rafa VDV.

Sensational again tonight.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Carra asking him how they will do in the Liverpool replay.

Savage

 

[SUIYHA]

Not only is he an absolute joy to watch but he's a real character and genuinely entertaining/interesting in his interviews. Must be great for the other players to play with him and have him around in the dressing room.

Unbelievable signing.
