This is a case in point as to why England are up against it on the international stage.
Ademola Lookman shunted out who could develop into a cracking player for England at Everton shunted out for a player who has 5 goals in 40 odd games....... and will cost them 40 odd million quid more.
What hope do the likes of Foden, Mount etc have. Sancho got it right going to Dortmund, and Sessegnon did by staying at Fulham
Long but interesting interview with Peterborough chairman. At about 26 minutes in mentions their "inquiry" for magennis
The part about Magennis to me says a lot. He says it was Charlton who leaked the story, he said it was just a phone call made by Barry Fry and what we came back with they believed it was too much what they feel the deal is worth. But he did also slightly imply that he could come back with an offer. He later goes on to say about other clubs put things out in the public for their own agendas.
It seems to me that by what he has said, we are actively looking to sell Magennis if we can get the right price and deal from him leaving. Either we would need to free up the wages for someone else, or Bowyer has a target in mind for a replacement that he feels would be good enough if we were to lose Magennis.
As the Chairman of Peterborough he is extremely open and maybe gives too much information away. If I was other clubs I wouldn’t be happy that he has spoken so freely about their business. Derby wanting to sign Marriott for example. It’s good to have honesty and transparency, but he is maybe too arrogant at times and I think that can lead to being too open.
He puts things into the public domain when it suits him, so he (or Barry Fry) can hardly complain when Charlton try to stoke up interest in Magennis. MacAnthony doesn’t seem a particularly pleasant individual, although you can’t argue with his record of bringing in players cheaply or for relatively modest fees and then selling very high.
As for Josh Magennis, Charlton have been trailing their coats for a sale all summer. With only a year left on his contract and a reluctance to offer him an extension, that is understandable, in addition to which, we do need better than Josh up front. As many others have said, however, any proceeds are likely to comprise, as Robinson put it, ‘a debt reduction exercise’.

Thank you for putting this up. Very interesting interview. Another random guess. LB should offer Mag in exchange for Jack Baldwin. Both in their last year.

He actually mentioned Jack Baldwin, but I can’t remember exactly what was said. I believe it was that he is on the transfer list because of being in his last year of contract, but they have a valuation they won’t budge on, something along those lines. I know that he said he a professional and isn’t letting the situation affect him. That I do remember.
He would certainly fix the centre back puzzle, but doing a form of swap for Magennis would leave us with a bigger issue up front.
I think the club have decided to try and sell Mag. Personally I would like to see him moved on and get someone else. Eoin Doyle from Preston is still available. Not sure if he would move down south.
Got players as good as Holmes, who apart from Fosu? That's just money surely, if Holmes wants to come back we should do everything we can to get him back.
his girlfriend is based in london, he'd love to come back, only question is, could we get the budget to do the deal and does Bowyer see him as part of his plan? personally i'd love to see him back.
I think we have to move on. I don't know what happened, but he looked great. Then he stopped looking great. He'd be a gamble now, wouldn't he?
one name Sullay Kaikai.... i'd have a shit ricky holmes over him any day of the week
Agree but was told at the time that Holmes wasn't much missed at Sparrows Lane.

Three players out before this game, Anfernee Dijksteel ill, now Fosu our best player injured, Taylor our new signing injured, Pratley our new signing not fit. No takeover, no money, players being sold, this is going to be a very bumpy ride
He wasn’t even at the match v Crawley and neither was ajose apparently . They’re either injured or leaving! Pretty sure Magennis is leaving though. We have got a very tough season ahead me thinks

The club cleared that up, they’re playing Tuesday.
So it seems that Dawkins and Ince will be the two players we bring in to the midfield, both very good signings at this level, especially for free.
It seems as though Bowyer is expecting Magennis to go, and I would assume if he does, we might have to bring in another striker. Would love for that to be Eoin Doyle.
I believe we do need another keeper but have Phillips as number one. Another centre back and left back.
Still a fair bit of business to be done but it would seem we have two people already in the building that we are likely to sign.

Good summary. The fact we let Elliott Ward go because we have other CB targets also gives us hope that a CB is also lined up. Who we go for in that position may depend on whether Bauer stays or not i.e. do we need a first teamer or back up player.

IF the club rates Dillon, we need a journeyman No2 keeper, the sort who'd be happy to be on the bench and help Dillon, but is good enough to step in as well
IF the club doesn't rate Dillon, then we need another Rudd/Amos type, with presumably higher wages

Someone posted on here that Dave Martin is training with the club.
Whether that's training or on trial, I don't know.

Dillon Will be our number one and I believe he will prove good enough. As for back up who knows.

Bowyer saying what happens with Magennis isn’t down to him.
