madders gone (18 Viewers)

Undisclosed, so we don't know what TM gets or SISU get.
What I would say is that, Maddison has been playing during our 11 game poor run, so clearly he is not able to influence results on his own. We still have him till the end of the season, plus 2 premier defenders and possibly more to come. So, we are stronger today, than we were yesterday, so that has to be good doesn't it?

A voice of reason. Finally.

So lets get this straight we rejected a bid of & million according to Sky, and yet the BBC claim we sold for 2 million. Some bullshit somewhere.

Yeah, reject £7m to accept £2m

 

[higgs]

Stupid shit

 

[rob9872]

Will prove to be good business if we get some funds for a good loan that will get us over the line and if this league but if we don't go up then it's far too soon. Great choice of club for him imo as will play and not out to forget like at a big 6 team. If he does well there he'll go for top money to be a starter at a top side. I hope we have a sell on included.

 

[ajsccfc]

Sky Sports did say that Spurs bid £7m, but then they've spent the entire day telling us how good all the signings are based on their Football Manager stats so I wouldn't put much faith in them.

 

[Robccfc87]

I'd be amazed if we got offered 7m from any club.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Good move for him as he has a far better chance of getting some games there ahead of the other clubs.

Can an pay the lawyers tomorrow now:facepalm:

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

If it is two million then shows how incompetant all who run this basket case of a club really are

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Yeah, reject £7m to accept £2m

Did the honourable thing didn't want to rip off spurs

 

[SkyBlueHomer]

I wouldn't believe £2m for a second. Not even our owners are that stupid.

Nobody knows how much it is at this stage, all guesswork

 

[ccfc92]

Could rise to 3.5 million apparently....

[h=3]Maddison: 'Delighted to sign for a club of the size of Norwich'[/h]Maddison said: “I’ve been working hard towards achieving this goal and I’m delighted to be signing for a club the size and stature of Norwich.
“They are a club moving in the right direction and I’m looking forward to progressing my career there after finishing this season at Coventry.”

 

[Londonccfcfan]

How the hell can Gillingham show great resolve to reject 4 bids of £2m and yet we accept £2M....I don't think for one minute it's £2M

 

[st john]

Was the deal already done? You can't do a deal like this in 30 minutes. Madders needed to be contacted, and would have needed time to think about it surely

 

[topcat]

The BBC website says fee undisclosed, yet on BBC1 they say 'believed to be £2million' I hope they are just guessing and have got their figures wrong. £2Million is a joke

 

[Pusb1]

You'd have to almost 100% assume that we'll hear about Jacob Murphy being included in this deal further down the line... i'd expect him to join in the summer as part of this deal..

Source?

 

[st john]

There was a post somewhere a few weeks ago, maybe Twitter, where someone said Madders was going to Norwich for 2M. Everyone called him a troll

[dongonzalos]

Let the outrage commence.

If it's 2 million. Then you are probably right.

 

[ajsccfc]

I doubt Norwich made their first approach at 10.30pm

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Wouldn't surprise me if our fans boo'd him in the next game.

Could be detrimental having him in the firs team knowing he isn't going to be here much longer.

 

[ajsccfc]

'I’ve been working hard towards achieving this goal'

What young Coventry fan isn't ultimately aiming to not play for Norwich?

 

[standupforcity]

I hope Lameiras get to start a bit more often now!

 

[Lanno]

Not too bothered by this - was going to happen eventually.

 

[Speedies_Chips]

I hope Lameiras get to start a bit more often now!

I hope he doesn't.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Sold nice and late to make sure no chance to invest the money

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Thanks, thinking about it rationally I don't suppose we can say no to £2M now for a player that's gonna stay with us for the rest of the season. With add owns not too bad £3.5M.

Just goes to show absolute conjecture the £7M bids.

 

[ccfclinney]

Tell Chris Anderson exactly what you think at @soccerquant on Twitter !! He's getting some serious stick and rightly so! Interesting Mowbray said stuff about every player signed absolute nothing about this .. wouldn't be supprised if he was quit. They were saying he and Venus were in charge of the football side of things and budget absolute no chance he would sanction this move especially for peanuts!

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Great footwork to send the man the wrong way but no turn of pace to then make it count.
if 2m, then good money for the games and injuries. I don't think he will ever make it at premiership level. I wish him well and hope he proves me wrong.

Living the dream!

Wtf ...booing him?

in fact may see the best of him now he is free, and hasn't got all this speculation hanging over him.

he can just buckle down now and give his all for home town club and get us promotion.

Lets wait and see. TM could well have identified players he can get for free, that would improve us, but Maddison would have to go to cover wages etc. All will become clear in the next day or so. Looking fwd to what TM says

 

[Nick]

He is still very unproven, yes he does some good skills and turns. I can't see the outrage though. I am struggling, it just seems like another good excuse for people not to go to games and shout about SISU.

 

[rob9872]

How times change. Two months ago we were flying, playing some of the best football I've ever seen, for the first time in years being a city fan felt great. Now we're still 5th but losing, stopped scoring, playing shit football and sold our one shining light. We deserve some luck soon, if we don't get up this season I really fear for us.
