Coz it aint!

But it is in our own hands...If we keep winning we are currently 5th nobody can overtake us and we would go up thro' the play offs PUSB

Otis · Jan 28, 2016

Think people are far too busy still trying to get over the Astute/Samo spat to bother about any news on the Maddison side issue.

stevefloyd · Jan 28, 2016

I never read that far back so is it worth me looking back or not?

Not if you value your life, no.

I'm sure there are more traumatic spats than that one!

Newcastle sent a scout to watch him on Saturday

SlowerThanPlatt · Jan 28, 2016

This from The Times: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/football/article4676108.ece

Says that David Pleat introduced Tottenham's head of recruitment (Paul Mitchell) to Mark Venus after Saturday's game. Also says Tottenham and Southampton have already tabled bids for Maddison. That's all I can view though as I don't subscribe. Can anyone post the full article here?

That's one club out of the running then.

SlowerThanPlatt · Jan 28, 2016

Mowbray saying no bids. The Times saying 2 bids from Southampton and Spurs. Hmm

Press often jump the gun.

More likely bids being prepared to go in.

Or someone is driving this be It clubs hoping to take him,his agent or our owners.
The media are feeding off something or TM is playing a canny game.

dongonzalos · Jan 28, 2016

If it's going to happen. It needs to be now. Not the last day. So TM knows where he stands player wise and finance wise.

The Maddison hype is quite amazing. Yes he is a talented kid but in my opinion he isn't even in the same category as Dele Alli. They are the same age and Dele is international class already.

Maddison hasn't played the amount of league games Deli has or proved his physicality.

Deli played nearly 70+ 1st team games for MK Dons before he put a shirt on for Spurs.

Madderz has only played 20+ 1st team games and a lot of them as a bench player.

Is he ready for a move now even with the rest of the season loaned back...no.

He is yet to complete a full season as a pro footballer.

In all honesty you could argue take £5m based on 20 odd appearances.

But is it right for Madderz as a player? Maybe...maybe not.

But ultimately we know football is all about money.

The reason that clubs want him is to stop other clubs getting him.
Everyone knows he is not ready.
They just want to own someone who is not ready instead of some other club owning someone who is not ready.
They see him as an investment for the future.

Couldn't agree with you more. The build up has been overcooked as far as current ability stands compared to Delli Alli.

That's not to say he's not a great player with plenty of potential but he's yet unproven in the long term, I agree, and needs a good full season under his belt. A season with Coventry in the Championship next year would be a good start!

However, football is a business these days, that's the biggest predetermining factor. If I am the businessman and someone offers me £5million for a player who has had a couple of injuries, only played so many games and may or may not become a bigger star, may or may not make it in the higher leagues yet.. It would be very difficult not to take it.

SlowerThanPlatt · Jan 29, 2016

If he doesn't start tomorrow, he's most likely off IMO, as a slight injury scuppers the whole deal with it being so close to the end of the transfer window.

He's definitely being mollycoddled,but I'm not sure it's because of his recent injury,or protecting an asset soon to be cashed.

Wenger says no one new coming in....

4waspsting · Jan 30, 2016

I wish some fucker would sign him, he's setting the 3rd division alight,as per team performance.

Skyblueweeman · Jan 30, 2016

Spurs just signing Moussa Dembele from Fulham and likely to loan him back, much as they did with Dele Ali. I don't reckon he'll be going to Spurs in the next 48 hours.

Not sure if it's already been posted but there's a picture of Maddison kneeling down near the centre circle on his own about 2 or 3 mins after full time. Thinking about what's going wrong or he knows he's off?

Conspiracy whopper. He's not at the level of the other players you've mentioned, probably just disappointed and reflecting on another poor result.

Londonccfcfan · Jan 31, 2016

I think he's off. One of those many enquiries may materialise in a bid. But let's hope he's back on loan.

Reflecting on a bad day at the office it was or helping the groundsman with his home made fork.

£7m wanted with Spurs not interested at that price

Oz Howie · Feb 1, 2016

Still think our price of 7M is too low.

AFCCOVENTRY · Feb 1, 2016

Can't see anyone signing him for £7m.
