Probably makes sense with Dybala going there and Paratici having a hard on for Zaniolo. Would prefer Maddison all day long though.

Its hard not to trust the club after the success of Romero, Kulu and Bentancur.

No idea why but this just feels like a complete waste.

Sounds like Roma are lining up a new contract for him now to fend off Juventus, so I expect he'll stay there.

I am sure i remember stories of him saying he wasn't interested in coming to England. I do have an appalling memory though.

I know someone who knows Maddison, he’s a dick of the highest order and thick with it.

Not that it makes him a bad player, but he’s unpopular with most of the Leicester players.

Quite possibly, but his dickheadedness hasn't affected his ability to get the job done at Leicester. He does enough of his talking on the pitch for me to think he'd be a good addition.

My cousin is a Leicester ST holder and when talking to him about the rumours of us being interested, he said the same on both the above points. Maddison is know to be a real c0ck but makes up for that with consistently good performances on the pitch but feels a lot of his antics are due to his status in the club and a move to somewhere like Spurs, would probably calm him down, ie., Kane as England captain, the likes of Hugo, Romero, Dier, PEH, etc won't take sh1t and the main one being Conte, he'd put him in his place if needed.

Zaniolo is younger, quicker and a starter for Italy, and very similar goal scoring record.

Far better an all round player. The end of the day if Conte wants him then he's good enough.

Couldn't disagree more to be honest.

Remember how we all used to wish Dembele could work his magic higher up the pitch? Well that's this guy. Reminds me of a young Totti.

Sign him up.
