Maddison is getting linked to Newcastle for 40m regardless of whether Leicester stay up and this is far more proven top level player. I think you could get Johnson for similar fee that we paid for Bailey/Buendia. Didn't we pay £35m for Buendia? That's not much of a drop from £40m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though i don't know if another striker really fits when we have Ollie/Duran/Archer to come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He managed to go on and have a passable career. 22 goals from 41 in his first season in a new country, league and team where you don't know the language or any of the teammates is pretty good for a 21 y.o imo.

Top scorer in Eredivise is only 13 goals so far, so 9 from Giménez isn't that bad. Joint top scorer is Xavi Simons for PSV, was very highly rated coming through Barcelona before going to PSG. Only 19, seems to be tearing the Dutch league up. Will probably move in the summer, could be a long term upgrade on Buendia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see it. I thought he looked good in their promotion year too, he also looks comfortable playing international football, but its down to who UE wants, at the end of the day.

I wasnt convinced last season either. But he is always in the thick of things this season still. Doesnt go missing. But he is still 21 years of age. And he is quick really quick. Lots of potential still but also now a proven premier league player . See how he gets on against Moreno tomorrow . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Maddison would suit a lot of different positions in Emery's system. But he'll probably go off searching for CL football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go big on him now as he’ll be worth about 40m more in 2 years time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Of all these basic mainstream English names that keep getting mentioned like Maddison, Bowen, Mount, Abraham, Brennan Johnson and so on, Johnson is the only one I could see us being interested in, as something about him that makes me think he's Aston Villa style player, the others just don't seem Emery's style, all the kind of players we would have targetted with past head honchos Bruce and Smith at the helm. Nico Williams, Pedro Goncalves, Luiz Henrique, Samuel Chukwueze, Alberto Moleiro, Lee Kang-in are more they type of players we will be targeting I suspect, might not be those ones in particular, but players of a similar profile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t agree, some of the players you mention in the first paragraph do seem like Emery’s style to me. Not saying we are interested or after them but their attributes are very much in Emery’s style.

Rich192 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Regarding Johnson, I had a look on FBref and WhoScored, and I’m doubling down on my stance about him being bang average: And has a 6.54 rating in the league this season. We can, and will attract far better. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
