A friend just text me to say Maddison was training with a non league club last week and they said he was “awful and looked like he had never kicked a ball” and said they wouldn’t even have him in their team.
Amazing! He could quite easily be the best player in the division this year, easily capable of playing at a higher level, if Bowyer can get his head in the right place. Hopefully the Summer off has given him some time to think.
Where does he fit in with the “3 senior players - RB, CB & ST” priority?
Would have thought this deal would cause problems with filling other positions but have so much faith in Bowyer and Gallen I’m just happy to have such a cracking player in the squad.
Perhaps there is a departure which changes the balance?
Or if one of those can now be covered by an u21 then they dynamic has changed?

He has the potential to be one of the best at this level ... fingers crossed
I thought we were past all the silly short term deals and wanted to build for the future.
Was that Maddison who didnt want a long deal though
Another opportunity to impress, either go up into the Championship with us or use us as a stepping stone to get the Championship clubs interested again next summer should we not get promoted - We have to realise with Marcus that he's not here because he loves Charlton as a club, yet same as us with him, he'll use his for his own progression
If that works to his favour this time next season then I imagine he'll have taken up that option
If on the other hand he gets a better offer from higher up the chain then at the same time dont expect him to hang around

I doubt Thomas will want to be paying wages if the planning permission to re-develop The Valley comes through within 12 months...................just joking!
On MM, his 2020 has been a rough ride so far. Maybe that’s exactly what he needed to bring him back down to earth.
Added to that, I think working under Bowyer (who had issues of his own as a player) could really help him knuckle down and properly reach his full potential.
Honestly delighted charlton have been able to sign a naughty type of player, he may well have an attitude problem but so what, I back Bowyer to get the best out of him

Sounds good to me, you don't want him on a 3 year deal "if he explodes" after 3 months.
He's volatile we know that.
Bet he'll still win penalties against us though!!
That's Maradona Covered End, not you.
Maddison will produce more in one game than JFC will in 20.
