So cheap he attracted hardly any interest.
Not true at all. Arsenal and Liverpool in for him before he got that injury which kept him out for a bitThat's not true.
That group was very good. Got Harries at Swansea, Thomas at Leicester, Sambou at Everton, Maddison at Norwich and the Kelly Evans twins/Stevenson in our first team.
Doesn't take a genius to see how good Maddison is. We sold him too cheap.
Yep, credit for the coaches for that group.
I'm too lazy to work it all out, but assuming they rocked up at CCFC at 12-ish (fair?) what season would the first team have been having at that point?
I'm guessing they'd have all turned up thanks to the pull of SISU having newly taken us over...There's a strong chance that we finished 17th
I have a few Canary ST holders as friends and they're raving about him. To those on here who think he's going to be average at best, dream on. He has another 5 or 6 years to go before he hits his peak. Lets resurrect this thread then & see how much humble pie needs eating.
Let's hope he plays for 20 clubs then and they all pay a fee for him.Joy said the club has an investment in his whole career no matter how many moves he makes. Guessing that means it’s a similar deal to what we got with Sturridge.
I live very close to Norwich and go into the city everyday and the fans and local papers hardly ever mention him.
He's got potential, full stop.
He needs to show it consistently at Champ level.
This boy is special I tell ya.

Quality player sold too soon and for what looks like peanuts
Not defending them but we don't know what the deal was. Sell on clauses are more important when selling prospects like Maddison than an up front fee.
We can make some educated guesses.
- A final potential figure of about £6m was mentioned if all parts of the deal pay off
- the initial figure was “modest”
- Anderson mentioned “three parts” despite only talking about two in the Telegraph article at the time: player related (apps, goals, playing for England) and club related (promotion etc)
- Probably safe to assume part three was sell ons.
Conjecture, but if he didn’t mention them they probably aren’t the biggest part. You’re probably looking at £2-3m up front cost (maybe spread over a few years), another £2m or so in addons between club and player and say a 10-20% sell on clause.
Numbers from my arse obviously. But it puts it in a ballpark. Long story short is at best we sold him for about £6m all in.
I think that was clear from the first moment he hit our team. It's early days yet but he could do anything. Wouldn't surprise me if he played for England one day.
Given that Jake Livermore is an England international again where would be the surprise.
If that was the case then it would be a very good deal for a player who played a handful of games in league one.
