James Maddison

[Tord31]

I like this one particular Norwich city fans opinion. Hopefully Alex Neil (if he's still there?) has similar views

 

 

the manager left him out and the fans were furious - because so far, early it may be, they rate him as the best in the league right now.

 

There are stories that he's a bit of a picky one. Cov fans got a bit annoyed with him last season because he seemed to lack interest and refused to get physical when he signed for us. but he continued to perform so I don't see why they were too upset. but anyway - perhaps he didn't want to start against a physical rangers team when he's due to come back in a few months?

 

Personally I think he needs to stay there all season. Such an extremely exciting young talent, but he isn't fully required right now. Naismith and Pritchard are chomping at the bit to replace Hoolahan, it would be a waste of 1/2 a season in his development to keep him here after jan, when he could stay in scotland and start most of the games there. He will get far much more game time there

Absolutely hopefully Alex Neil agrees - could also see them signing a player or two in January which would push him further down the pecking order

The impression I got from that thread was that they are more than happy regarding attack/creative midfield but far from satisfied regarding defensive/holding midfield dept.

 

I know how they feel

[Poodler]

Hasn't really helped with McGinn though has it

Maybe it's helping too much and he's fucked by the weekend.

[G31DON]

Didn't realise until this evening when i checked my online William hills account that free kick won me £35 off a £3 stake bringing in a treble. Enjoying the goal again some more, cheers loon!

Majority of Norwich fans are gimps. I saw a thread where some were moaning at him for spitting prior to taking the free kick. Could mean he was a bad apple and they don't want him to upset the team spirit.

 

 

 

As I said, gimps

Yeah that was in the same thread I lifted that quote from but tbf it was just one poster & he got ridiculed for it basically

Anyone from Norwich should not be taken seriously.

Place is a shitehole.

[florin_raducioiu]

They've got plenty of options and as some have said would be more likely to strengthen in January with a new signing than an untested 19 year old. Likes of Naismith and Dorrans only played around half their league games while Matt Jarvis not kicked a ball yet. Pretty hopeful we can keep him until the end of the season. Hoolahan plays in the hole for them with likes of Howson, Mulumbu etc deeper in midfield. Just can't see it being worthwhile them recalling him unless they get a fair injury crisis

[johnstrac]

Watched the second half in a bar in Sunny Beach (Bulgaria) opposite a "new huns" fan, he started to get twitchy when I corrected the commentator saying that we hadn't beaten them for x numbers of years as we hadn't played them before. He didn't have much to say when the goal went in, I pissed myself.

You related to bluto?

I hope the bar owner didn't mind you wetting yourself in the bar.

@ about 75p a pint great place to fully celebrate beating that hun fuckers

[Lencarl]

James Maddison has won September's SPFL Goal of the Month competition for his stunning last-gasp free-kick against The Rangers.

 

Well deserved

[stirlingshen]

League games this season:

Without Maddison

Played: 4 won 1 drawn: 2 lost: 1

for: 3 against: 5

With Maddison

played: 5 won: 4 drawn: 1

for: 14 against: 3

 

Obviously everyone has been playing better as we've got up to speed but we might really struggle in January if we don't extend the loan

[fine-n-dandy]

Another great set piece in from him for the offside goal.

Also some free kick from Hayes indirect. Unlucky not to get a goal

[buchanskii]

I remember moaning that we let Cammy Smith leave on loan and never got Andrew Shinnie or Tony Andreu in as replacements...

 

Maddison is different class

We do still need a solid central mid regardless. We are lightweight in there.

Great to have a few good wins on the bounce though all the same

In an ideal world we would let Smith drift away into the inevitable obscurity he's destined for and keep Maddison for a prolonged period.

Alas...

[Tord31]

I'm still quite hopeful we can persuade Norwich to extend the deal.

 

I think the best solution for Cammy Smith is that United offer a nominal fee to take him permanently

[King Street Loon]

He's not even a regular for United.

Really needs to kick on.

[zander]

Cammy Smith lol

 

Scores a hat trick against a sub standard team and folk think he was great.

 

 

I'm sure Locos or Huntly would snap him up nowhere near our bench let alone the starting 11.

[minijc]

Been struggling with injuries.

[G31DON]

Think Maddison is helping in a big way to free up space for McGinn and Hayes and is leading to the last two big scores. Before teams could try and crowd them out down the flanks and double up on them, but if teams do that now they leave the most naturally skilled of the three, Maddison, acres of space centrally and he'll kill you. Those hankering after 4-4-2 this season will disappointed, Maddison is solely a number 10 and can't play centre mid in a 4 although can't see many folk complaining if we keep up this play in a 4-2-3-1. Please don't blow it on Saturday,and Maddison - don't get booked ffs!

[zander]

Been struggling with injuries.

Struggling with being not actually good enough for the top league.

[RUL]

He's not even good enough for the championship.

 

We have to enjoy players like maddison whilst we can. Fantastic

You think if we get to the League Cup final and win..maybe he would want to stay..looks like Norwich are doing great without him.

[Daz the Don]

The lad is a class act, we have every chance of keeping him for the season if Norwich continue with the form they've shown thus far.

[BWG]

It shows what a difference having a jinky player like Maddison can do for the team. There's no doubt about it that with Maddison on the park we're playing some sexy fucking fitba. We must source a replacement for him, although we have to accept that they won't be Maddison quality.

[ollie1903]

Russel Martin in one of the Sunday papers saying he keeps in constant contact with Maddison. Says he is loving life up here.
