[Albion] Albion linked with Norwich midfielder James Maddison

[severnside gull]

Maddison looks a prospect but after one good Championship season £25m (reportedly) seems very steep.
Powell at Wigan looks better vfm at half that price but of course he has a history of injuries.

 

[Perkino]

We need to name at least 8 HGP's in the squad...but most of our games this season have been played with a regular 18/20 players then some additional squad members who have rarely featured. We could easily keep Sidwel, Rosenior, Baldock as part of the squad if we don't get a full 25 who will compete for places

 

[blockhseagull]

Spurs being sniffing round Delaney which is a shame, as he looks exactly the type of player we need

 

[BensGrandad]

I would like us to look at and consider Choupo-Moting at Stoke if they get relegated. A good goal scoring midfielder who gave us problems at The Amex. Scored 5 goals this season which we would love one of our midfielders to have done.

 

[DJ NOBO]

No way would Madison come to us.

Premier league football, great stadium, realistic chance of first team football, Nice city.......you’re probably right

We tried that against an out of form Chelsea at home and were 2-0 down after 5 minutes. Defence were all over the place.

Chelsea were good that day. We have also lost 5-1 when playing standard 4 at back. Maybe he should be midfield as he does have something different about the way he plays forward.

 

[Seagulls over Essex]

He’s English so you add the zeros. And no, it’s not because we want to “buy British” - it’s because you have to name a minimum number of home grown players into the 25 man squad and we’re dangerously low on them. So £25m sadly is the going rate for a £5-8m player.

In that case why not just include one of the U23 boys such as Owen Moore?

Because U-21 players DON'T get named in the 25-man squad.

I was in Norwich over Easter and got to Carrow Road to watch Norwich vs Fulham.

Fulham were head and shoulders above Norwich and Cairney was pivotal to their play so he would certainly be a worthy addition and add competition to Stephens, Propper & Kayal.

Norwich were completely toothless upfront but one lad who was Maddison caught my eye, as amongst complete mediocrity this lad never gave up and was the one menace to the Fulham back line. It was a compliment to him that Fulham had to double or treble up on him at times. I thought more than his skill, his temperament impressed me, to keep going and driving forward time after time with no support.

One of our ‘midfielders’ has - Izquierdo.

(I presume you weren’t talking about centre midfielders, given that Choupo-Moting is a forward )

Scored when played as a forward as he did at the Amex...not quite such a good return

 

[Arkwright]

With Stephens and Propper being our two main centre midfielders and Kayal finally finding form after injury we do need a creative midfielder in the squad. We do lack goals from midfield so Maddison is the right sort of target for us.
Bit harsh as it would push Kayal to being a bit part in the squad, is suppose that's progression of the club.

 

[BensGrandad]

Choupo-Moting was still one of Stoke's better players at The Amex and I think that he could play the AM role that we need to cover.

 

[Seagulls over Essex]

Because U-21 players DON'T get named in the 25-man squad.

Then why not just sign a 22-year-old non-league player?

 

[AZ Gull]

You don't HAVE to name 25 players; but you can only name a maximum of 17 non-HGPs.

In the event that we had 17 non-HGPs and only 7 HGPs, we would only name a 24-man squad, not go and sign Johnny SussexCountyLeague.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Better to spend our budget on two great players now I think than 4 or 5 average ones similar to what we have. We're in a different position than last year. A CM like him and a right inverted winger would be perfect.

No.

You want us to take Stoke's striker, convert him into a midfielder and hope he gets the same goal return?

Sky reporting that both Southampton AND Leicester have agreed a figure (of £22m + add ons) with Norwich, and that the decision is down to the player - who is thought to favour Saints.
