Has Gallen’s role changed a bit? I always thought he was the one who negotiated the deals and he said the new title of DoF would help him have clout with other clubs when getting deals done.
But this from Bowyer suggests Matt’s taken on deal negotiation now:
‘The chairman has the list. It’s in his hands now.‘
Could explain why we've done nothing in the market so far if MS is running negotiations and not SG

MS managed to get a non-Charlton supporting UAE national to buy a football club 5,000 miles away for £50m. His skills can’t be too bad.
That said, I’d take a younger, presumably hungry youngster from a PL side on loan rather than a late 20s loanee from our division/SPL. So fairly positive, in Gallen we trust with this one.

Especially if we could buy a player now for between £500k - £13m (Gnaudillet / Toney) yet for half the price in the summer

I’ve a feeling we will go in for Toney in the summer if Lyle goes.

Plus everyone else will that fails to leave this league at either end of the table.
It would be fantastic if we could actually sign him on a permanent. He is absolutely the quality we need going forward as we begin to become less reliant on loans

He over paid for it ..
But my my point is that SG has done an incredible job and based on his track record I’d rather him negotiating that MS who is unproven for us in the transfer market.
Loan signings are not the end of the world in Jan, if we stay up we won't have a bloated squad full of players that are lower half championship quality. We can then have a whole summer to invest and improve the entire squad
I think comparing to Gallagher and Bielik to calm concerns is wrong.
Yes Gallagher and Bielik were young players who couldnt get in their own team - but those teams were Chelsea and Arsenal. It was no indication they were not good enough for us and that was proven.
A young kid who is the same standard as them (and thats the standard we need in a relegation fight) should be good enough to be deemed un-loanable to Norwich. The fact a team that bad wants to let him go to get minutes is just something to be considered
Reckon Maddison will sign, but probably on the 30th or 31st, he’s running out of options and Peterborough have moved on
He’ll have significantly more options, and money, if he waits four more months to sign. He’s playing well, on the radar of a few clubs and will soon be a free agent - the perfect combination for a footballer to get paid a lot of money.
A lad I work with is good friends with Ben Godfrey at Norwich (they played together as schoolboys in York) so I’ll try and get some inside info. Is this what it feels like to be ITK?
Another one in the welmed camp. We already have Davison who us "young" & "raw". What we need is an experienced striker who knows the league......but not old & slow like Hemed. Someone aged between 25 & 30.....which I know costs money. Looks like the lists given to MS are running out of names.
And seeing as Norwich arent ripping up the Premier League you'd have thought that if he was any good at sticking the ball in the back of the net he'd be at least on the bench for them.
I'll take Maddison, Idah and Docherty on loan. After that as long as we stay injury free that should be enough to get us over the line. We would be a very dangerous team on the break if we had Maddison along with Taylor, Bonne and Williams

Even if they don't play him again all season? It's a risk, that's for sure.
Look how a third in the table Fulham struggled to cope with the pace of Doughty then imagine we had started with Taylor and this lad from Norwich upfront. Would have won. Sounds decent. At 18 will be raw but many were underwhelmed with gallagher in the summer cause of his age.

Could be a win win situation all round.
Currently at 700k, 300k thread views in a week is a mighty tall order. I might need to start making up rumours to push it along...
Drawing interest from 4 clubs, midfielder / striker said to play best in a free role where he is given artistic licence.
What a fantastic achievement that would be.
