James Maddison

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....

This is where the theory is from: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Creating-Leaderful-Organizations-Leadership-Everyone/dp/157675233X

Chris Hughton brought it into the EPL at Saudi Sportswashing Machine

I think a leadership group is a good thing. If you have clicks in the dressing room which most do due to players from the same country, age etc. It makes sense to have the “ring leader” of each group on side within a leadership group. Could potentially stop certain groups in the dressing room rebelling and avoids a toxic environment.

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.

Some players step up when given the captaincy, and feel Madders will be one of those.
Him and Kulu would be the top two choices for it, but with question marks over Kulus fitness etc then Madders is the best choice.

Helps when the captain has a history of missing around a third of the season through injury or suspension - Romero for the past season and if as expected Maddison is announced his career has shown around 10-15 games a season missed through injury

Give it to Tonali, give it to a world class player who sets an example. James Maddison is all huff says the right things and probably a likeable softie. We need someone who can get a foot in g the lads up and not be injured most of the time or go on streak

Maybe in a year's time. Very difficult to come in and straight away get the responsibility that a captain has...imagine if he has a terrble first few months?

Rightly or wrongly he’s an established prem player brought on for massive wages and a transfer fee … I would be confident that he will hit the ground running. Especially with a long preseason under his belt. I’m optimistic about Spurs … it’s been a while
