Agree, and thats my point. If Real do want Toby it would be as a first team player not as some back up.....

Or in certain leagues. Maybe he's just a northern European defender not suited to the slower pace/deeper lines/less contact/more black arts of southern European football?

Heard off a Norwich fan who goes every other week that we've tapped up Maddison and signed on the q t for us...

Luka Modric
Excellent news if true.... He is the perfect player to come in and learn from Eriksen IMO.

If we've signed a player like that, I'd imagine it will be as Alli's replacement

A Norwich supporting mate of mine mentioned him a while ago as a top, top, 'triffic talent.

Martin Peters
Why?
He is a number 10 and a creator??
He is very much in the Erisken mould
You ever seen him play?

It's obvious why he's a Dele replacement. We bottled it against Juve in the CL, we bottled it against Wet Spam in the Carababababao Cup, we bottled the league he last two years and Poch hasn't won a trophy. Ergo, Dele, and all our best players, are leaving. Maddison is being bought for the manager who will replace Poch when he goes to Madrid because Madrid will obviously want to hire a manager who has coached teams that bottle it and can't win a trophy.

It feels to me like we’re progression planning if we buy a player like him and that’s brilliant IMO

We're already overloaded with AMs, the numbers don't work unless we're going to lose about 3. Maddison is too established now to come in as a 6th choice. Alli also plays in the #10 position, even though he's not a #10 in style.

We are doing an Arsenal, get stadium, charge prices above the rate, buy more AMs

Luka Modric

He is 100% a number 10
He plays just like eriksen
And I think we will let Sissoko go and possibly lamella too this summer although I doubt that
Edwards doesn’t look like he is progressing and the area of weakest cover is eriksen
We would then have eriksen, Ali, son, moura, lamela and Maddison
That’s a decent combination
Ideally bring in Sessegnon as a flying wing back who an also play there and we have some real variety

I would look at Redmond if Southampton go down, he could replace the whole French pacey young winger thing we are doing every summer.

If he isn't among Mourinho's top targets I'll be extremely surprised. I could see Real low-balling us, knowing we won't want to sell domestically. We could end up over a barrel there, with the only route to the sort of money Levy wants for him being up the M6.

Aaaaabsolutely love James Maddison, and he would be perfect to have with us to learn from Eriksen. Not sure when he gets into the team though, it needs Son, Eriksen, Dele, Lamela and Moura all to not be fit and firing. I think JM is good enough that he should be playing fairly regularly in the Prem. A move to an Everton not managed by Allardyce or Leceister might be best for him as good progression.
I also get the sense Chelsea could be a good move for him. Pedro’s getting older, doubts about Hazard sticking around, Chelsea moving towards a model of signing players with resale value. I’m not saying JM is as good as Hazard etc but that’s a move that wouldn’t entirely surprise me.
Norwich is my local team though. Above all I’d quite like it if they got back up!

I think Maddison plays a different position to Hazard and Pedro. I see both of those players as ones who cut in from a side position. Maddison is a player who I see as somebody who will play through the centre. I don't see him as a player who plays quite as high up the pitch as Alli, I see him as a play-maker in the Eriksen mould.
