    Paul Mullin has been linked, he has scored 20 goals for Cambridge this season! Can’t see us signing another striker unless one is on the move!! Probably BS.
    Good record this year but has a touch of the Ajoses about him

    26 and this is the first season he's hit double figures in 6 league 2 seasons

    Maddison is a better player than Williams is

    Well Bows and Gallen said they were trying to shuffle the pack in this window and it’s good to see that they’re making the tough calls. I see Will Grigg is being linked with Mk Dons so that may free up space if they want Maddison. Would be a hugely risky move as if he settles he could fly them up the table.
    Grigg looked to have a lot to offer Sunderland for league 1 and has been an absolute failure. 5 goals in 3 seasons for £4m!
    Remember the melt down that they signed Grigg and we ended up with Parker........... 
    I think Grigg would have done ok next to Taylor though. The cost was mental mind, not worth that

    Stupid way to judge a player

    We all know Chuks is better than Bonne but who's the one playing in the championship

    Can’t see Chuks moving due to his awful injury record and the fact he can’t complete 90 minutes, very risky suppose clubs will take a punt if he becomes a free agent.

    But we all know why Chuks isn't. 

    Why has Maddison had one loan spell in the championship, that by any metric, was an absolute disaster, yet Williams is about to sign for a championship club for the 7th time?

    All those managers can't be wrong can they?

    Bogle, Lapslie, Doughty, Smyth, Williams(?) Oztumer(?) out
    Stockley, Smith, Millar, Schwartz, Kirk(?) in.... Is that a good window overall
    I’d have liked one more youngster on a perm but those changes have to be a big upgrade.
    Yep, good window for me. Shame Bowyer can't work with either Williams or Oztumer as they've done well it at this level previously, but Kirk seems to be a decent upgrade option given his age. 
    I also really like how Kirk has played 120 games in 2 and a half seasons which I’d guess is similar to JW anc Ozzy combined
    Williams/Ozzy 113
    Kirk 119
    And he’s much younger. Really liking the small green shoots I’m seeing. Hungry, young squad needs to be where we are heading with a long term plan beyond whatever happens this season.
    Just checked his stats. 25 goals and 30 assists in 119 games, vs 5 and 9 in 113 for the Ozzilliams pair. 

    Obviously different levels played, but seems an exciting prospect, which I am in every doubt we'll get done! :lol:

    7th is a slight exaggeration, but your point is valid. His career has been going backwards though, he can’t get into a League 1 team currently.

    Yes, but Bowyer would have turned Will Grigg into Lewandowski.

    Sadly the games are played on the pitch no matter what people think, though a happy dressing room is a big plus. 

    Get Jim Davison in before each match. He would do it for free. 
    Like the post above though... Williams is going back to the Championship yet again though, Maddison has played a handful of games

    Funny how the Managers keep getting that one wrong

    Quite right I misread where he's played. He's played twice at CDM and scored one of his goals there as well as winning that game 3-1. they lost the other 2-0 against Blackpool... Maybe don't play him there!

    Yes 7 is wrong, it would actually be the 8th. That doesn't include Palace. 

    He can't be going backwards, Bowyer said we improved him :wink:

    Stalker.

    Maddy always gets the right pizzas delivered.
  • For what it's worth I do think Maddison has been overlooked by Championship managers. I'm not speculating on whether that's due to his character (which it may be), but on the pitch he impacts games more than Williams does.

    Here's Williams performance in the championship

    11/12 - 14 apps, G:0, A:2
    12/13 - 29 apps, G:0, A:1
    13/14 - 13 apps, G:1, A:1
    14/15 - 7 apps, G:1, A:0
    15/16 - 10 apps, G:0, A:0
    16/17 - 8 apps, G:0, A:0
    17/18 - 12 apps, G:1, A:0
    19/20 - 26 apps, G:0, A:5

    Obviously Maddison has only played 7 championship games but every single year in league one he's scored more and assisted more than Williams has in all his championship seasons put together

    Maybe Mick McCarthy wants a player he can bring on 75 mins into a game to win some free kicks

    I’d guess the deal is a few days along as JW deal has been going for a while.

    The fact we have not heard anything to me suggest its still in play being worked on.

    Shouldn't have been rushed back from injury so quickly, but Shinnie was out injured at the time.

    Probably doesnt help given the fact it could well take him about 4-hours to get down to Sparrows Lane

    Of course he doesnt need to be down here for the deal to be announced but given there is plenty of time left in the day, it could be a factor

    I presume Kirk is lower on the wanted list than Randall was? That's how I believe Gallen and Bowyer work, have a list of players for a position, start at the top and enquire about them, and work down from there

    Kirk in and maybe one out on loan is all I expect from now on.

    I’d be happy with the window if that’s how it finishes

    No it will be the 6th time he signs for a different Championship club (not counting Ipswich as he rejoined them in 2014). Ipswich, Forest, MK Dons, Ipswich again, Sunderland and now Cardiff. Played about 65 times in those spells, scoring 3 goals. He's not done particularly well.
