James Maddison

I have a suspicion we sell Spence and Gray goes RB full time. The trend for attacking managers is to turn these young centre mids in to full backs. Trent, James, OReilly, Lewis Skelly.

From Grays perspective. The competition at CM for England is huge. At RB you’ve got 2 injury prone players ahead of him.
Interesting idea, the only is I notice they all have quite a bit more skill and guile than Gray which I think makes sense when playing as an attacking FB.

I'm not sure where Gray ends up, his versatility means he's useful in a number of roles but doesn't really shine in anyone of them. It will be interesting to see where RDZ decides his future is best set.
 
I don’t think James is consistent enough to be demanding more from other players on the pitch. Plus I don’t think he has the strength mentally to dominate a set of players. Some captains lead by example but he is so streaky.

Not good enough for me I’m afraid. Says all the right things but really doesn’t have all the substance to back it.
 
I’d imagine Porro will be named as part of the leadership group along with VDV and Robertson. Madders may not be a fully regular starter so Porro may get the arm band a decent amount of time anyway.
I'd rather this 'leadership group' thing disappears. I don't know where it came from, but it's completely unnecessary - if you want to be a leader then lead, you don't need to join some official club....
