Maybe it was a gun to Maddisons head that forced him to move against his will?

And to be fair he seems more than pleased in his interviews.

Maddison asked to speak to Norwich and signed after liking what he heard? That's not asking to leave

Tbh it was probably just a bit of clever management by Mowbray, a way of keeping fans off Maddison's back. Can you imaging if he'd said Maddison asked to leave, he'd be getting boo'd left, right and centre.

If so Mowbray and Anderson need to start talking to each other. Its not the only time Mowbray has said one thing and Anderson the opposite.

I think it could be both, while he didn't put a transfer request in if he heard there was an offer then he wanted to hear about it..

Damn....is that what Mowbray does? Someone should tell him really before he gets in trouble.

Maddison wanted to go, but didnt make the first move in asking for a transfer is probably what it means. He clearly wasn't sold against his will

Because he signed a contract with them and said in interviews as soon as be saw the Norwich deal. Pair that with everybody he knows congratulating him.

Well he described himself as absolutely delighted and and dream for him, doesn't sound like the words of a player who had a gun held to his head to sign the contract.
Bear in mind this wasn't the usual words of a new player interview but in a message he posted on his personal social media account

Its a bit like me going for a job interview, getting the job, handing my notice in and then saying I never wanted to leave!

He turned down two other clubs and said yes to this one.
What player wouldn't say yes.
The issue was never about whether madders wanted to go or not.
For me and I think for the majority who were unimpressed It was the fee. Madders would know he would be gone in the summer if it wasn't January he doesn't seem the type that would strike over that.
Fair play to him in that he choose Norwich over other clubs. When he said no to the other clubs there was no guarantee Norwich would come in. In fact they were not intending to until another deal fell through. So I imagine by the last day Madders wasn't expecting to be signing for anyone else anyway.
The decision for CA and I would actually imagine JS really was cash in for 2.5 million now or wait to the summer and you are likely to get more.
However there is always that chance he gets a serious injury and you get nothing.
They decided not to gamble.
That's their decision to make. At least now it makes sense because he has explained the decision

He wanted to go when he was told we were accepting offers for him. I dont for one second blame him, who wouldnt want to play in a higher league and earn more money. I believe what TM said when he said he never asked to leave and he didn't want to sell him. Big difference to what your implying.

Players never formally ask to leave. Managers never want to sell players.
Players who never formally ask to leave are more than happy to and players get sold.
