    He'd easily fulfil the system we were playing at the end of the season too, Whilst easily slotting in to a 4 3 3, 4 2 3 1 also. It'll be the signing of the season if we pull it off.

    This would be an excellent signing. Young, bags of potential and is exactly what we need.

    Mixed views on Norwich twitter...they all accept he is going, but some think this is just a bargaining tool to raise the price. A few think we'd be a good move for him as he would get game time. I agree with the last...Saints are still a good bet for a developing player. Obviously money does come into it, but quite a few players have rued believing that it is the most important thing. If you are good enough, you will get the big pay day eventually....and we don't pay in washers ourselves.

    He is the next Nathan Redmond. Young, British and from Norwich, so our fans will soon get on his back!

    He's from Coventry technically. :)

    If we do sign Maddison that may well mean the end at Saints for Davis. Can't see any room for him in the starting eleven if we sign Maddison. Unless he's happy to be a squad player (which I doubt) I can see him leaving.

    Leicester have put in a £20 million bid as of today. Reported by John Percy.

    Back to Rangers would be a smart bet.

    Don’t think he’ll come to us over Leicester.

    Why? For personal reasons perhaps, but I see no footballing reason to choose Leicester over us. We've had a bad season, but I see that as an outlier.

    Thought it was a reference to the fact that Leicester is closer to Coventry than St. Mary's.

    Jacob Steinberg of the guardian have reported that we have indeed bid for him too. Let the battle commence. I'm hoping Mark Hughes plays a serious part here.

    Why, they are better tgan us and win the league a couple of seasons back, and likely pay more money.

    But apart from that, what would he be thinking of...

    I’ve never liked Leicester purely for the fact David Nugent played for them, now there’s someone who could do with a slap!

    Yeah if it is a straight choice between us and Leicester they definitely have the edge.
