With the success of Deli Ali, Vardy, Deeney and other English talent who have risen from the lower leagues, Maddison was always going to be looked at.
We need to try and get promoted this season with him being a key part of that. He can then be sold for a stupidly high figure and be loaned back for a year while we are in the Championship.
The article suggests they will offer £5m + loan back until the end of the season/next 2 seasons.
Would £5m be about right? Don't really pay too much attention to the PL so have no idea. Sounds a lot given the number of games he's played, and the number of goals he's scored.
Would they take a punt on paying that sort of money before he's had more time to prove himself? When Wilson was scoring for fun we still sold him for less than that.
Oxlade-Chamberlain made 36 appearances before his move, Maddison has only made 16. And McCormack had made hundreds of appearances too before his.Well Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain signed from Southampton to Arsenal from this league for £12M rising to £15M. That has to be the marker for me. Mind you Southampton owners don't have the same reputation as ours for undervaluing young talent by accepting the first offer and taking the money and running as ours so nobody will probably bid anywhere near that if this story has any credence simply because they won't need to.

Only 16 because of an injury. Although I admit what he does the rest of the season will effect his value you can pretty much guarantee that whatever we get it will be a snip of what AOC went for and that won't be down to appearances or goals scored/created and definitely not down to a lack of talent. It will be down to our owners.
Of course you do have to recognise that SW has been replaced by CA so maybe just maybe we may have a chance of getting a decent transfer fee for him (I.e. More like £10M+ than £5M) in which case I'll be the first to eat my own words and say good business. This may turn out to be CA's first big test since his arrival.

Oh dear.
Weren't the owners at the time billionaires as well?
Trying to come on a ccfc forum stir up trouble again?
I'm stating an opinion. The only one trying to stir up trouble is you by falling over yourself to defend owners who have a history of under selling our young talent. Do you think everyone has forgotten about CW? Oh, I forgot. He was a one season league one wonder who wouldn't cut it in the championship let alone the premier league so that was good business. Boy do I feel stupid for being wrong about that. Oh wait, that's right. I wasn't.
Is he really all we make him out to be? No doubt he's a skillful player, but his goal/assist return has been very poor, which surely is one of the basic requirements of an attacking player?

How much did Andre Gray go for from Luton
£9M overall?
I suppose we should all bow down to your superior knowledge.
I am hardly defending the owners just stating facts; we have always sold our young talents and so have other clubs of a similar size and bigger.
£5m would be a fucking bargain IMO.
Hold out for more.
Obviously this isn't true and is just a campaign by the Independent to destabilise the club that they hate. Right guys?
Alli went for £5m.
