Throw him into a mediocre squad and he would have been forgotten.
I think we should have tried and get Maddison. He is a type of Pep player.
Maddison isn't fit to lace Foden's boots and is no way a Pep player. He's a luxury player who is being made to look good as the Spurs team is being built around him (Fair play to him he's been very successful this season). He doesn't have the work rate the other way to be a Pep player.
Why do you think that?
Maddison looks like a decent orchestrator, something we are missing at the moment. Not saying he is a world beater, but a decent player who can work under Pep. Same as Gundo, who became a monster under Pep. Plus he knows the league, Englishman, so he can fit that spot.
When the going got tough at Leicester he missed a lot of games with niggling injuries. I don't think he'd mentally handle the demands of Pep and don';t tihnk he works hard enough without the ball.
Just an opinion. I do however hope he continues his current form for England and stays fit for the euros
Foden had a bad game, Maddison is a yoyo form, not consistent throughout a season. he doesn't fit top team's systems hence only spurs were in for him.
Foden just needs to bulk up a bit and grow a pair. David Silva was tiny but hardly ever gave the ball away although that wasnt the case when he joined us, He had to bulk up too, Foden could learn a thing or two. I remember many were calling for Gundogan's head before he came good.
I wouldn't swap Foden for Maddison, no chance, although he needs to start showing aggression, shield the ball more by using his upper body, he does look a bit camp when brushed aside
This 100%.
