Bill 1,788 Posted June 17, 2018 Everton are rumoured (by me) to have made a £26m bid.It is not known (I have not made it up yet) whether that includes add ons or a sell on clause.It''s thought that Maddison would prefer to play in a blue shirt (Daliy Mail) and on a home pitch that runs East to West (Daily Express astrologer).Skybet have dropped their odds on Maddison being sold by Norwich City to 11/8 which means they must know somethingAnd it has been reported that an English/German phrase book is on sale on Ebay from a Norwich seller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decent fee.[/quote]Not sure if they have new information, or are just repeating what John Percy said in the Telegraph (he was the guy who announced the Daniel Farke appointment before anyone had even heard of him). Seems like Leicester have made a firm bid, but Norwich ideally want a £25m package Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted June 17, 2018 The papers are outdoing each other with the latest "exclusive" surrounding Madders, we will no doubt only have 24-48 hours more to find out his final destination, be it Leicester or Soton. Whatever, it seems the one near-as-dangit thing to emerge is that the fee is nicely north of 20 mill and within the zone of what will be acceptable to City.The sooner its done, the sooner City will be able to go out and get whomever is on their radar. We can argue the toss about the comings and goings, of this or that guy is good or bad for City, but Webber consistently gets the job done, as does Neil Adams.We are seeing the outs right now, a bit of patience more and soon enough the ins will arrive, and if its all to much, well, England are on the telly tomorrow.

River End Canary 18 Posted June 17, 2018 If we do end up selling Maddison it will be the ultimate betrayal of the fans and the ultimate sign they really have no ambition what so ever I will be forced if this is the case to demand the immediate and unconditional resignation of the entire board of directors of NCFC and the immediate appointment of a stinking rich Arab owner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FenwayFrank 2,457 Posted June 17, 2018 I don’t believe he would go to Leicester because it’s closer to home. He will go to the club where he feels he can develop and be the more successful wherever that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted June 17, 2018 JM said to favour Southampton and not Leicester £22m + add ons agreed apparently. One of the add ons must be a Sell On Clause. He needs to go to smaller club where he will get games another couple of seasons improvement will see huge clubs come calling for £50m+. Southampton ideal as a selling club.

ROBFLECK 132 Posted June 18, 2018 "Every club is a selling club, just as they are a buying club" Mr Benn , I don''t agree.... Real Madrid, Man City, Barcelona,... are GET RID OF clubs... they don''t have to sell , they just get rid of players they don''t want on their books anymore... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 132 Posted June 18, 2018 I''ve accepted that JM will be sold , there is no point in moaning about it. It all comes down to getting the right price paid for him.Now we will see what Webber/Farke are made of in the transfer market. Who will they get in as replacements for the players sold?Mind you , I am not filled with confidence , ... Quality has to be replaced with quality...especially if the only player with real quality is departing.Long period of mediocrity looms...we''ll just have to accept it I reckon.

It will even be worth watching MOTD if Maddison is involved, he is that good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
