Well seems to be 2.5 mil rather than 1 mil but personally I'd pay it - just what we need.

Be a shame to lose out when he's effectively said that they'd take payment over 2 years. Just over a million a year for 2 years - if we can't afford, or aren't prepared to pay that then we deserve to struggle this year.

That's urinated on some ppeople's bonfires - rumours of holding out 'cos of lack of transfer activity/potentially had changed his mind. Good things come to those who wait.......

Did next to nothing last season and the season before that - I'd say he's just gone back to where he started. Not for me...

I did think that looking at the clips - they seem to have developed a good understanding together. I think Marriott's the more expensive of the two though and clearly Derby have been sniffing around him for ages.

Seems to have a bit of pace too -not lightning fast by any means but good for when you're running at defenders. Him on one wing (seems to switch a bit), Armstrong on the other and things would suddenly be looking a whole lot better.

If I had a million I had pay it myself... really hope we get him.

Which still doesn't mean we're not interested in. Every chance it could be happening 'off-grid'. Mowbray is on record as saying what a good footballer he is.

He didn't answer me either and I didn't even mention Maddison by name. Think the cheeky fecker even deleted the tweet so it must be true!

Permanent or loan neophox?

Popped on for any transfer news and all I'm seeing is this... Maybe calm down a little???

I'd prefer Maddison to Kent.

Fully agree with this. Looks to have great delivery, plenty of assists, scores a few, takes a mean penalty, appears to pick a pass and have decent pace - what's not to like? Get him in plus Bauer, Chapman on loan with fee agreed, Armstrong and maybe a back-up keeper and I'd be happy if we had no further business beyond that.

Despite your disparaging him he was by far our best performer last night. Still,don't let things like how he's actually playing get in the way of your dismissing him.

No, I've not read the Matheson novel so I better give it a go as I do like a bit of sci-fi. Being a dog lover,the saddest part of the movie was when he lost his canine friend. The thought of being suddenly totally alone without even your canine pal for company I found very disturbing.

Ouch..sometimes you need to get off the fence rebelmswar I actually liked both of those movies (Stir of Echoes & I am Legend )...I'll get my coat before you tear me a new one..

Watched Super 8 last night. It was pretty good, although not quite as good as I'd thought it would be. Maybe my expectations were too high... Saw a great little Aussie movie last week. Animal Kingdom.The woman who played the dysfunctional famiy's matriach was scarily psychotic.

I enjoyed it...ground-breaking special effects at the time. Directed by Cameron,back when he was making proper movies.

I'm about to finish a book called 'The Power of the Dog' by Don Winslow and it's been fantastic. A big sprawling crime epic spanning 30 years of the war against drugs in America:obsessed DEA agents and drug cartel leaders locking horns. It's violent,brutal and thought provoking. It's the first Winslow book I've read but I strongly recommend it.
