Surely that West Ham winger/forward signing makes Maddison unlikely? Unless we’ve managed to get rid of Crawford?
Word around Twitter's campfire is that he's off to Tranmere.

It feels like we're shopping in a markedly better market now.

Given we've got 5 through the door so far, if anyone says "he needs a few months to get that many integrated into the team" I'm going to scream.

To be fair that’s half a team, he deffo should be allowed to lose the next ten whilst they bed in

Yeah but you can't add that many at once, when has that ever worked? :mrgreen:

Evatt on Kioso:
But I understand that he’s a 21-year-old kid away from home in the middle of a pandemic and that’s really challenging and difficult for these lads and we forget that.

Some of these young players are staying in the club hotel and other than being at work, can’t socialise with anybody else. They’re away from their families, away from their parents, it’s a really challenging time
Best workaround? - Bring in a kid on loan from West Ham :?

We're just going to play him 2003 highlights videos for 5 months and send him back, weeping and broken.

Send him back where? He's contract's up in summer, we can keep him if we like.

He's also 23, so he might not need his mama, especially as he's already uprooted to Toronto in his teems to play footerball. Good luck to the lad/bloke :D
