Need to put the last 3 games behind us now, there is no reason why we can't get back to the sort of form we had. Hopefully the defence will be sorted now, and I don't think there is any reason to be especially concerned about RCC, the defence just got cut to pieces too many times in the last 2...

Hopefully they will be doing a lot of work on the training ground between now and Sunday, provided they both understand how TM wants them to play I see no problem playing them both. Think I read somewhere they have played together in the past for England youth.

Vale have had only 37% possession so far tonight so a win is not a foregone conclusion yet

I thought one of the new centre backs could play deep midfield

I get the impression Newcastle just want him off their books. Could be wrong, but I doubt they see his loan as a development process.

I think we should get 1 striker in on loan if we can find someone good enough. Then we could play Cargill, Stephens, Armstrong, new striker. Maddison/Murphy could alternate depending on form and tactics

Update from TM any time now according to telegraph

Come on Nick, this deal must have been agreed days ago, personal terms to discuss and agree etc. We could have done so much with some of that money in the transfer window. I know there is still a possibility of free agents coming in but I get the feeling we have been taken for fools again

Or just Mad

There was a post somewhere a few weeks ago, maybe Twitter, where someone said Madders was going to Norwich for 2M. Everyone called him a troll

Was the deal already done? You can't do a deal like this in 30 minutes. Madders needed to be contacted, and would have needed time to think about it surely

I believe TM was genuine when he said he advised SISU not to sell Maddison, at least not for that kind of money. I hope this don't have repercussions

Could be worse yet, TM would never agree to a 2M deal I don't believe.

Sky sports just said we turned down 7M from Liverpool tonight. Can't believe the BBC is right

Sorry Pete, I wish I was wrong

Does anyone think the timing was deliberate so we couldn't spend the money?

23:11 Key event UPDATE: Developments expected!So as we stand City have told us they are NOT finished for the evening amid strong rumours of James Maddison heading to Norwich City. Stay tuned for more as we are expecting developments any minute,

Sky sports say there is negotiation going on with Norwich, and they have another 2 hours provided they got preliminary paperwork in before 11.00 That was before 1100 they said that

On sky sports now (Norwich after Maddison)

Fleck still here :p
