Our fitness coach used to work with the national squad at a younger level, so may have known people whom may have looked at Maddison. C'mon you should surely know by just scrolling through one of these pages with the various ITK posters that people talk and say things that is probably against their contract. No.

Norwich and the agent are telling everyone he's fine and there's no problem. The England physios who know the player and the injury and are slightly more impartial have advised clubs interested to tread with caution. Could explain the delay as Norwich and the player appear to get the deal done. No surprise - the player wants to live and Norwich are desperate for funds i can see this going TU on the basis of what you have posted. We won’t risk paying a fee without binding commitments from Norwich and they won’t be able to spend money that isn’t guaranteed.

From what's been said a doubt about whether he would be ready for the start of the season, but as long as there's no lasting damage I dont think that's something we should be massively concerned about - he's a great long term prospect. I agree with you, but as we saw with Schlupp a few years back where the Ghana national team wanted their own independent view on his injury at the time, I imagine the England set up may have wanted a look at the injury of one of their up and coming younger players. If there is no lasting damage I too don't see why we shouldn't look into getting.
tsintskaro Posted 7 June 2018 Posted 7 June 2018 (edited) He bought Boufal when he was in Southampton and its obvious Albirghton doesnt fit hit style(love it) on the other hand - Gray and Diabete are not ready to be starters,i guess but u never know - Gray,Maddison and Mahrez(or whoever club gets instead of him) may work fine with 2 attacking minded defenders Edited 7 June 2018 by tsintskaro

Clubs ring around for references. Whether that's for injuries, attitude, personality or ability. Matt Reeves worked with England Under 20s. So plenty of contacts. Happens on every transfer deal.

He has an existing injury That makes any medical complicated and the insurers would want as much info as they could get beyond what our medical people thought. looks messy to me ......

brucey Posted 7 June 2018 Posted 7 June 2018 Depends how desperate we are really. Slimani failed his Newcastle medical with an existing injury but they decided to take the risk and sign him anyway. That didn't turn out so well. I don't think we'll be that desperate, but if other clubs are reluctant to buy him for the same reason, we may well leave it as late as we dare.

You can’t pass a medical with the knee injury he has - with transfer windows in place, an expected fail in a medical isnt the end of a deal with something in the contract to cover it should there prove to be information and evidence witheld. The buying club has to take a view based on the fact that the player recovers with as much medical advice as possible. 2

Of course he will but before wasting a load of energy trying to sort that do you not think they might do some due dillegence rather than trusting an agent after a pay check?
CosbehFox Posted 7 June 2018 Posted 7 June 2018 It wouldn’t solely be this injury City are checking up on either

Come on. Walsh admitted this is exactly what they did when assessing potential targets in an interview he gave once, saying they built up a profile, he even went on to say that they would sound out whether the player would be interested in signing or not.

For me that would be the checklist complete (aside from maybe a GK to replace Hamer). If Mahrez goes, then obviously we respond accordingly in getting someone in to replace him. Editing because I shamefully forgot to include Drago in my checklist... Edited 8 June 2018 by rachhere 1
