the ozil vs Alexis analogy kind of works when looking at maddison vs grealish. maddison looks like ozil with less technique/vision and more goalscoring potential, with the same hints of attitude problems, and the added spectre of injuries. grealish has the same attitude and approach to the game as Alexis, and is more direct. my concern with maddison is how arteta would deploy him as he's more reliant on good movement and link up play around him and looks good in a forward thinking outfit like Leicester. with grealish just give him the ball and he'll make things happen regardless of the structure imo
Is that what we really need though? We've already got Pepe and Saka to make things happen with their ability to run with the ball, what we need is more ESR types to improve the movement and control in games.
Also surely saying Maddison looks like Ozil with less vision/technique and more goalscoring potential is basically saying he looks nothing like Ozil? 😆
I'd say he has Lampard potential for scoring goals.
The whole Maddison vs Grealish argument is moot though, there's no indication as to whether or not the latter is available or how much he would cost in comparison.
