The cynic in me would say that they know Fleck is leaving in the summer, and can use it as a way of undermining the club once again when they lose their "star" in the summer for nothing
Fully agree with the OP. He's seemingly expecting more time on the ball than he's getting and there has been a noticable dropp-off in his performance levels.
Lorentzson, Stephens, Cargill/MArtin, Stokes would be my preferred back 4
The main beneficiary of a bidding war would be MAddison himself.
Realistically, once we've agreed a price with one club, the others will just bid the same amount as we've accepted.
The clubs will then throw money at the lad, hoping to secure him
I can't see any club doing that with Sawyers, His contract runs out at the end of the season so if clubs are going to loan him back they'd just wait and sign him on a Bosman
