I'm interested to know why we "hawked him round". Did we invite all those scouts to watch our games? We are fifth in the table even after a shitty run and we're not still in the play off mix solely because of James Maddison.
I don't get all this drama queen nonsense from grown men. Twitter is in melt down. There are a lot of tired and grumpy City fans today torn between torching SISU HQ or booing Maddison to death. Pathetic.
I don't get those saying his sale has allowed us to strengthen. It hasn't. The signings made were within the existing budget. This was done too late to make a difference.
My biggest problem is the extra loan spot it's taken up doesn't allow us to bring in another striker on loan.
Just a bit more perspective on this. His sale has allowed us to strengthen across the pitch and he's still here until the summer, when he'd have gone anyhow. If anything it should help our push to go up.
On a side note, Burton sold their best player, who's had far more of an impact than Maddison this season, for £350k to QPR.
All of the people who believe the drip fed shite from sky about a £7m offer being turned down need to wake up and realise than no one in their right mind would sell a player for £5m less than they could have done.
It's happened as it always has done. Move on and carry on supporting the team.
There was no such offer mate. Spurs made a offer but CCFC told them they WANTED £7m at this Spurs dropped out of the bidding.

The whole situation would be diffused if Mowbray had come out and said 'Ultimately this was my decision, it's allowed me to bring in the 2 defenders and pay for Hunt til the end of the season while keeping Maddison on loan and with a bit left over for the summer'. The silence just breeds speculation and the speculation just turns the fans on each other
Of course we could've held out. Or more to the point we could've not hawked him round for weeks then sold him for peanuts.
Seasons over may be hyperbole, but all momentum has gone out of the season and all we did was bring a couple of kids in at the back. No one to make our impotent attack look better, no one to take the strain off Arma.
More to the point Sisu just showed they couldn't give a fuck about the club long term. No cash released. Maddison sold to the first person to come along.
So statistically the season might not be over, but emotionally it is.
Maybe he has other things to do at 11.30 at night.?
It means some fans make things up, their sense of reality disappears and they get hysterical.
People are abusing Maddison himself for god sake.
I'm not justifying it, people are dickheads. But I bet there would be a lot less abuse with a bit more transparency.
Yep, but haven't we just strengthened?If we were 5th in the league and steadily pushing on then great, but we're 5th in the league and dropping like a stone. Big difference.

I think it's more the fact the pathetic fee we sold him for, being a city fan we should be used to selling our best players but it still hurts every time

My nine year old lad showed more maturity than many on here and Twitter.

My son was gutted this morning to hear his hero had been sold. He idolises him, shame for the junior supporters who could relate to his recent rise and aspire to be. But this is the modern footballing world unfortunately
The Evening Standard have reported that the Sky Blues want £7m for their talented youngster James Maddison and the price is cooling Tottenham’s interest in the 19-year-old............................My point is what will his mental state be in the remainder of the season at CCFC? Mowbray has stated Maddison should learn his trade with Coventry and in the future if he's worth £2m now, he could be worth 6x as much in 2 years time. Which brings me to the "Was he pushed or did he want the transfer?" I think Mowbray didn't have any say in the matter. As for SISU saying "We couldn't stand in his way"(Maddison) Load of bo**ocks. The pound signs were flashing when Spurs, Liverpool etc were showing interest, Hence the £7m price tag, but when they lost interest they jumped at Norwich's offer before the deadline.

Total rubbish...this is the best thing JM could have done. He won't disappear at Norwich and if he's as good as everyone seems to think, his career will flourish. And we're a stronger team today after strengthening the team where it needs it. And before anyone goes on about needing an attacker...we have the strike force as has been proved!
"We have the strike force as has been proved!"................ So why are we slipping down the league then?, Why have we only scored 2 goals in the last 4 games? Why have we only won Two(2) games since November 24th?....... Total Rubbish???...... I don't think so mate!!!
