Maddison

[Ted Maul]

Fair enough.

[alanf0x]

Great move for him and fully deserved. Onwards and upwards for his career. Much rather see him here than a Chelsea, Spurs or Newcastle

We won’t get 60m with one year left on his deal. 

We would if we sold him today.

[Md9]

Would defo prefer him to go there instead of Newcastle and he would do very well there as well 

[Pliskin]

He would be keen on that, he could stay living in Cov that way. From what his mate has told me he doesn’t want a massive commute unless it was a move over seas. So London or Manchester/Liverpool are three likely destinations for him. Newcastle would just be too far.

We’d also get relegated this season

We will with who will want him. All the top 6 would take him and therefore we set the price and see which one flinches.

[Torten]

Pooing bricks when the Maddison thread goes hot but I'm relieved it's a summer transfer

That's the move that makes him an England regular. Going to Newcastle doesn't give him that. Working with a world-class manager, regular European experience and the pressure of consistently having to perform sees him become one of the best No10's in Europe, hands down. Would not begrudge him that move at all. 

[South Shire Fox]

With Bernardo Silva supposedly off in the near future i think he will slot straight in. Definite Pep sort of player. 50 million plus and im buzzing for him

I'd take a 15m loss just to keep him for the rest of this season though

That depends whether the Sheikhs go into a bidding war with each other. City never had any competition for Mahrez andmade it clear early on what their limit was but if they think they're losing out to a rival it could be more interesting.

 

In any case I wish Maddison the best. His peak form has been a joy to watch for 12 months.

[FrankieADZ]

if we can get £45/50 mil ill be happy tbf, think he'd rather go Man City than Newcastle to work under Pep too, plus he'll get in the england squad more

No brainer for Jim to work with Pep, KDB, Haaland, etc. Just would hope we get a ton of cash and he doesnt do a Fofana.

Wouldn’t think there would be a bidding war, he will just get tapped up that the value a top club could save by waiting 12 extra months could go on wages over 5-6 year deal to them sign on a free on an obscene wage

Man City seem to be able to get world class players at reasonable prices so doubt we'll even get 40.

[st albans fox]

He likes to hold the ball too long for Pep but he need to learn fast 

Man City give their signings a season to adjust if necessary- most clubs don’t have that luxury 

[MPH]

Just one of a number they are monitoring. Got to play a blinder second half of the season to get a move.

[HankMarvin]

Imagine his numbers supplying Haaland

Hate to say it but probably benefits the England national team too. 

[urban.spaceman]

Oh man and just when I'd tweeted with an NUFC hashtag that he'd cleared his locker out at Belvoir Drive too.

[LCCFox96]

Man City and Newcastle both slogging it out for him will absolutely minimise the risk of a lower fee with 1 year left on his deal too. 

 

 

[Lesta Legend]

Good for him and maybe that fraud Southgate actually picks him. Superb player and hopefully we get a fair wack of £40m £45m.

Exactly. Peps rotation will no doubt suit him as well in keeping injury free.
