Time for Spurs to fill Pleat's pockets with cash and send him on over to Fisher's office.
Doubt he'd get past Hillfields with much left to spend!

NO! Don't let Fisher anywhere near this deal (if there is to be one). Send him to the CEO's office. Fisher would just screw everything up and sour our relationship with Spurs.

Don't matter if we get a million or 20 million very little will find its way to Tony Mowbray.

I was going for dramatic effect, of course I wouldn't want Pleat going near F***er...

Well going by this season so far I would have to disagree. Seems like TM is doing alright.

If Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs are all really wanting to sign him then we could see a bidding war and one of them end up paying over the odds. Think TM should push for geting him back next season if we're in the Championship.

Why have they given extra then ? If so where ?

The main beneficiary of a bidding war would be MAddison himself.
Realistically, once we've agreed a price with one club, the others will just bid the same amount as we've accepted.
The clubs will then throw money at the lad, hoping to secure him

What is this "special" relationship with Spurs that gets mentioned, other than selling Danny Thomas and Steve Sedgley to them Im struggling?

Where have you been? He has played lots of times.

The Telegraph article saying we were linking up with Spurs is from after Ward went back so its even worse than you thought!

To be fair to Weeman he does live quite a fair way away, and still gets to as many games as he can.
Back on topic, I think we should hang on to Maddison for as long as we can, and rebuff offers unless silly money, as from what I have seen he has the potential to be a very special player.
Regardless of how he has played in the last couple of games, he is learning his trade and doesnt seem to be doing a bad job, and has the creativity and skill to change games, and every team needs that.

Well they also took Callum Davenport off us after at a, promising young age!
But the "special" relationship was something City tried to set up around loans pre season. I think we fancied a few of theirs and perhaps they already fancied Maddison? I don't think it really developed beyond preliminary talks.

If they had anyone as good as Maddison, why would they need Maddison? Maybe they have a good third-choice goalie we can get, we need a GK more than anything else.

I said talented youngsters, not talented youngsters in Madison's position. We need a CB don't we? And a winger and a striker.
Yep it also means that he's suited to continental football.... The fee's rising all the time!

He dives beautifully. Now we just need to teach him to roll around a bit more.

Hmm. Wonder if that's hearsay or we're putting it out there that we're prepared to do a deal?
I would be quite happy if we can sell him, bring two or three in (our own players, not loans, or loans with an option to sign permanently) and put some money in the club too.

I think if we have any ambition we need to keep hold of him, at least until the end of the season. If we get promoted we keep him another season, if we don't go up then cash in.
if I was TM if be saying to him you could be playing for cov in the premier league in 3 years. He's the sort of player we could build our future on

Must say I disagree. This season is all about trying to win promotion and if we can sell him and strengthen in maybe THREE positions I would take that all day long.
You also have to remember, the word is that he would be loaned back anyway.

I got the impression 60% was agreed, but that's just from here so could be totally wrong.
