Of course, but Dele is considered one of the best young players in the world, if it was that easy to get a player of his caliber then Dele wouldn't be as special as he is. After all, for every Dele there are a hundred Ravel Morissen's. I'm not saying I'm against it, it's just that tight now I feel like we need that player to take us up a level and we already have a lot of players registered in the squad so we will need to be thinking of sales again at some point.Was Dele?

I think players like Maddison are made for Poch though.Sounds great. With Dele, Winks, Kane at least we have a very strong case as to why he should join. I suppose the problem may actually come from a club lower than us as he'd see a clearer path into the team.

Don't try and bring logic to this discussion - very unhelpful.My point is that he wasn't considered one of the best young players in the world and lots of people questioned his signing. We either take the occasional punt or we (fail to) pay £30m for them a few years later.
If we bring in a CM then hopefully the end of Sissoko too. I can see one of him or Lamela being gone anyway with Maddison arriving and this other forward we appear to want. I'd really hope it isn't Lamela who's going to be the casualty though.He's homegrown, young and has created more chances than any player in Europe's top 5 leagues. Sounds the perfect backup to Eriksen. I don't see the problem.
You've got it backwards haven't you? The source is people not reading the rules or being idiots. The symptom is that they neg rate the ITKs. If we stopped them doing that they'd still continue to break the other rules they've not bothered reading. We deal with the source by banning them.
I like the idea of Maddison but I'm not sure how he is an upgrade on what we have. He will add to the depth, but I feel like we should be looking for players who will improve our attack. I understand it's obviously difficult and expensive to do this, but we have Lamela and Sissoko (who Poch rightly or wrongly rates) so I'm not sure how Mad will get much time unless we get injuries.
I guess I'm not sure how he fits in with this supposed name player who would go straight in that JJ and Herc have alluded to. Unless we are looking to move on Sissoko (which I would be happy with) and/or Lamela (which I really would not be happy about).
Don't see why Maddison can't get minutes for us this season. Character wise he looks to have similarities to Dele which is great.
Had Barkley been fit we'd have signed him so surely there's room for another AM?

We've let N'Koudou go out on loan which frees up a squad place.
I think that Maddison would also count as an under 21 player and wouldn't need to take up a squad place this season as he was born after Jan 1st 1996. I might be wrong about that though.
Fair enough. But as we've seen several times in this thread alone, accidental negs happen regularly as well. Not having that option would also go towards solving the problem, no?
This is true. But what club the size of Spurs or bigger will give him those guarantees? Of course he may be happier to go to a lower ranked Prem team who may offer him more chances of first team football. Then the player will hope he plays well and eventually be snapped up by a top team. As @Hercules mentioned... Lots of clubs are in talks with the player so it comes down to persuading him we're the best option.think it means a player choosing to go into one team's first team squad over going into another team's PL2 development squad.
In this case I thought the move was from Coventry to Norwich rather than to anyone higher up. So the next move is all important for him - he's had some games, done quite well and now being linked to clubs like Spurs, City and Chelsea. The last two don't exactly have a hot record for playing youngsters, except maybe once then loaning them out, but Spurs do. So if he can impress, maybe he would get a chance.This is true.

One plus of using the app: no ability to give neg ratings!Fair enough. But as we've seen several times in this thread alone, accidental negs happen regularly as well. Not having that option would also go towards solving the problem, no?
If someone can't use the site without their fat finger neg-repping an ITK (and it never seems to be random, it's always always an ITK's post...) then I'm not sure how they manage to hold down a job - "oops my finger slipped and I sent the boss that dodgy video, that's the 5th time this month".
I suspect the number of people really accidentally neg repping someone is far far less than the number who use it as an excuse when they realise it's put them on A&Cs list.
