        So you're suggesting that we'll randomly spunk a wage structure-busting wedge on this lad? (NCFC) - norway, Jan 21, 16:31:41
      - 5 goals in about 50 appearances (although many of those must have been sub appearances) (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:13:48
    - And also give him a chance to show what he can do (or can't do as the case may be). (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:09:06
  - we let Maddison go to Aberdeen remember (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 16:00:00
    - So again we benefit Middlesbrough not our own club (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 21, 17:25:15
      - You dont think Aberdeen got anything out of it? (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 18:17:31
    - and Godfrey to Shrewsbury. Maddison himself says the Aberdeen spell was huge for his (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:04:22
  - It could be that we rate him more highly than they do (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:55:06
- If he starts banging them in I couldn’t give a shit ! (n/m) (NCFC) - colincanary, Jan 21, 15:50:45
- He is probably on a decent wedge... (NCFC) - colincanary, Jan 21, 15:46:26
- Try before you buy (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Jan 21, 15:43:47
  - That's also a bit flawed I think, unless we already secure a price for him ahead of the (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:47:05
- Strangely I was thinking about this when I posted about new signings just before (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:43:44
- If we are supposedly “building for next season” then loans are idiotic (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 21, 15:30:06
  - Because we’ve shifted Naismith for 6 months (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 21, 16:41:35
  - what does it achieve? (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 15:42:53
    - why not give one our youngsters a go instead? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 15:48:26
      - or get a nonleague ace like jamie vardy for peanuts? (NCFC) - Tombs, Jan 21, 15:56:51
        
        disagree with that, finding another Vardy would be almost impossible (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 16:06:37
        
        He was taking the piss (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 16:14:44

      - I don't run the training sessions so I cant tell you (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 21, 15:53:32
        
        I think that's unfair - Norwich fans have usually been very supportive of young players (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 21, 16:04:52

  - maybe the players we want are not available in this window (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 21, 15:41:06
    - And if they are, they would be far more expensive now than in July (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 21, 15:45:10
