Maddison speaks real nice and comes across as real. I understand his appeal better now and he is great on the field as well. Top bloke and I wish him well in his career. The host is growing on me as well. Good job.

He’s just a walking cliche.

I'm not a Spurs Fan but i do like Madders......i love the video i saw of him getting stick by the corner flag he was hilarious moving the ball and all the rival fans could do was laugh...he's a good lad....

[@indianastones6032]

Yeah i saw that clip but from the rivalfans PoV and ya could hear one rivwl fan laughing and saying about madders "hes a lad aint he?" .

[@M4NA5]

Love Madders as a player. It’s a shame his career has been riddled with injuries, preventing him from performing consistently at the highest level.

[@oxdares]

love how well spoken this man is, keep in mind that he is only 27y old. To be that authentic, respectful and savvy at that age is quite impressive.

[@dionb7584]

You're acting like 27 is young

[@andrewburton9643]

Its been up and down this season, Mads, VDV, Sonny and Vicario been our massive stand outs. Been extremely unlucky with injuries, but we're not the only ones. But if you told me we'd finish 5th, 3 positions above from last year, plus new management, losing Harry, comfortably above mega spenders Chelsea and Man united I'd of been absolutely over the moon. It is a massive transitional season so the champions league spot was a huge stretch. But bring on Arsenal Sunday, id be very happy with a Desmond (2-2) 🎉🎉🎉

[@stephen2992]

Maddy has not been good this year. He hasn't stood out at all. No goals no assists. He started off well

I'm glad we dodged the Maddison bullet. He had a choice between us and spurs and chose them. His wage demands would have disrupted our team. Our highest paid player is Bruno on around 120k per week.

You've had an amazing season. You have greater potential than I thought and the way you showed early in the season surprised everyone. The unfortunate injury has made you hard, but the North London derby will be the perfect match for you to fly back up. Show us everything about you on upcoming Sunday!🤍

Potential 😂😂😂 he’s nearly 28!!! Is this the new Lingard 😂

[@luckytobecoming]

@@JohnnyMc5 Everyone has a different time to bloom. Maddison's move to Tottenham is a step up, and I said it because I think he has the potential to show more. Some players have their prime at 30, and some players have aging curves at 30. I just want Maddison to be the former case.
