They were just loaned, palm offs though weren't they. Wasn't thinking in terms of loans that a club wants to give us, I am talking about us going out and getting the players we want.

If we sold Maddison and got 3 good players in, into the bargain as well as a stack load of cash that could well prove to be a very good deal for us.

So true. We are a selling club. This is the only way we are going to survive.

No conspiracy. They simply don't know because he is being driven to Arsenal to let their medical team look at him.

It is too early to sell him from a footballing point of view. From a business stance though, if someone is willing to throw millions at a player, then it makes perfect sense to grab the cash. As you say, look at Bigi. Maddison looks the real deal, but then people were saying Jose Baxter was...

Well it's all about the fee isn't it. Every player has his price. They want to throw several million our way then we should indeed snap their hands off. Would be wanting him back here on loan though for the season if possible.

Nike (Nike) might well no longer be invloved, but that doesn't mean that Nike (Nikey) aren't.

Bournemouth though were a Championship club. Maddison is showing more potential than Wilson did. Maddison is 18 and Wilson, 23. Premier clubs on the whole have much more money to burn than Championship clubs.

Are there 2 Arsenals, or just 2 threads about the exact same thing?

Does it give a price tag? Yep. Eleventy billion I believe.

And I arrive back from East Terngreen.

Happening after only about 6 mins into the match was an added factor too. You are having to change things before barely getting started.

Well yep, that's surely what we will do. Maddison is quite a unique type of player to the squad we have, so we would have to alter our style and approach accordingly.

Guess we are lucky for the most part (the likes of stupot excepted) that this one has been moved to a bank holiday with most people off and able to go. Being moved on a normal work day would create a much bigger problem for sure.

Yep. If next season is going to be a problem, that is next season. Can't see much wrong at all with the odd game moving here and there at the mo. Sky have been doing that to clubs for years.

Of course the playing on Sunday in Northampton was more of an inconvenience than the odd game moved here in Coventry. You can't argue otherwise and it's pointless second guessing what might happen next season.

Yes, I know, but by the same token, I don't think TM expected such a good start to the season. His thinking was that we would get stronger as the season wears on. Vincelot has been great and so too Ricketts and Armstrong, sensational, but Maddison has been outstanding too it has to be said.

He has been a lynchpin in so much of our good play and his assist rate in goals we have scored is very high indeed.

Yep true. Think people forget we had to change games to a Sunday at Northampton, which is a location 34 miles away. Much more of an inconvenience than the odd game moved at home here in Coventry.

Yep, hate that and simply do not understand it. On Instagram too it seems to be the goal to just take as many selfies as possible. Why would you post a photo of your dinner? Why would you need to tell everyone you are at Frankie and Benny's?
