Would be happy with MM - good player and when the opportunity comes to sign someone like him you dont turn it down.
But.... In my view he is coming into a midfield role where we already have a lot of options. I see him as in the same role as Williams, Ozzy and Aneke. As I said you dont turn down the opportunity to sign him and there are significant doubts over those 3 and whether they will be here next season.
But in my view the priority for the rest of the season should be a striker (2 if we lose Taylor), a back up for Cullen (as we have lost Kayal and really lack someone who can link the defence and attach and keep us ticking over) and then a utility left sided defender. This is probably a nice to have signing rather than a needed for the side right now.
Although perhaps Bow sees him playing more in the Gallagher role and provided some rotation there....
Winger/CAM. Massive fan, IMO he’s Jonny Williams plus goals, very creative and a wand of a left peg, a real signal of intent this, long as we get him to course!
Just saw this too, is it a good thing to be this open do we think? It's definitely interesting..
I'd say a good thing from their point of view, it might encourage the other teams to up their bid. If I was Southall, Bowyer or Gallen I'd be a bit annoyed.
To be fair to Posh, that's hardly their problem, they've got no obligation to make it easy for us!
Indeed when looking back with previous sales of OUR players, there's been a distinct lack of competition which must have hurt the price.
Very happy if we manage to get this one done, rumoured to have a bit of an attitude problem but not sure how true that is and I'd like to think Bowyer would sort him out.

I would imagine this but would agree a backup for Cullen seems more of an issue now, I imagine they have something lined up there though if they're prepared to spend a decent wedge on Maddison.

I asked the question myself the other day and was rightly pointed out that we're thinking of a Midfield that would have options if we had everyone fit - At the present we dont have that luxury where Bowyer even now is having to rush back players who could be playing U23 games - Bring in a couple more midfielders and Bowyer wont have to worry about players coming back so much
Not to mention we are still waiting for those players to return, by the time every gets up to speed we will be looking around March time
All I remember is that he dives a lot. Didn't think he did that much last January when we played them - I think it was the season before when he won them a penalty & got a lot of stick from us.
Lots of Posh fans where I live, and they all say that he is a very talented player. It would certainly be impressive if a bid has been accepted for him because a lot of teams will be after him.
Everything i have read on here about his talent sounds good. Seems a purchase which would be in line with the chairmans stated objective of building sensibly. If we can get them fit and keep them fit then Cullen, Gallagher, Williams, Maddison, Greene and Field seems a strong midfield to me.

Agree mate and I get that the deals dont often happen in the order we want. Hopefully we get MM a striker and a back up for Cullen.
I spoke to Katrien about him on the pre season tour to Dublin a couple of years back and said he is the wort of player who could add something to the team and her words were "He's a decent player but his head is not right"
Charlton now head the queue for Marcus Maddison. I asked Matt Southall about this last week after he’d met Darragh, and he told me that both Maddison and Toney were discussed. Fits with the aim to make permanent signings #cafc #Transfers- BenRansomSky.
I’d be absolutely astonished if we get Maddison and Toney in, dreamland.

Or more bivouac?

Who knows what'll happen between now and then

Would prefer James Maddison.
I can't remember the specifics but I'm sure he wound us up in the 0-0 there last season?
If so, we do need more of that kind of player to be honest. Although I am surprised we're splashing out on a winger.
Time to see which of us was right isn't it!!
