To quote my colleague who's a Peterborough ST-holder... 'he's certainly talented and has scored plenty of spectacular goals for us, but often drifts in and out of games with his work-rate fluctuating game-to-game. Well-known to have a bit of an attitude problem to say the least and loves a theatrical dive. If Bowyer can sort out his character he'll be a great signing for you!'
Maybe things that can be sorted out under different management at a bigger club?
Really don't want to be Mr Negative but I am a little worried that after this broadcast from their Chairman, a lot of other clubs will come in and trump us on the wage front.
Hoping I'm wrong.
I read it that Posh have 'accepted' our bid and given him permission only to speak to us. My take then is that subject to agreeing personal terms, he's our player. If we can't agree terms then maybe others will come in.
Not sure, surely other clubs can still come in before we have agreed terms and match our bid. I think Darragh is highlighting this to other clubs to get as much money as possible.
Maybe we haven't met the release clause?
That entirely depends on the Posh Chairman. Our bid is accepted and permission given to speak with Maddison - based on MacAnthony's reputation, I don't expect him to be a gazumper!
It's a different matter if Maddison either doesn't want to come to Charlton, or we can't meet his salary expectations.
Not necessarily, if other clubs meet his release clause there is nothing Darragh can do.
What Chairman wouldn't try and get the most money for his player once a release clause has been met? Come on now. If ANOther Championship club wants to say, offer £3.5m and we don't think he's worth it - that's just life. This is not an offer to con Charlton fans into thinking we are trying to buy players when we have no money.
Get a grip Doomsdayers!
Why would anyone bid 3.5 when his release clause is 2.5. If theyre that stupid, they can have him
Sheffield Wednesday would have considered it, but fortunately for us Katrien left a while back
Interesting that we are the only club to be given permission to speak to us. I wonder if it’s because we bid more or their chairman is helping out our chairman.
He's running a football club and a business. If we've been given permission it's almost certainly because we've bid the highest amount, not because he wants to do Southall a favour
really???? Didn’t think of that!!!! What I was getting at is that other clubs might have offered the same. The wording from the chairman says he has given the player permission to speak to charlton but not two other clubs. He didn’t say rejected offers. That suggests that the other clubs may also have met the minimum release fee

My point is that 'if' Maddison wants to come to us and he's happy with the contract offer then there is nothing Posh can do to stop it, even if another club offered £20 million for him.

Trouble is if we've met the release clause and are allowed to speak with Maddison is there much that Peterborough can do
If West Brom came in and offered £3.5m yet Maddison were to join us, it doesnt mean we have to up our offer
Only way that can happen is if Peterborough suddenly decide to pull out of a deal with us - Yet if player is happy with the terms we've offered and doesnt want to join West Brom he's gonna be pissed off, we're going to be pissed off and Peterborough could end up with an unhappy player remaining past January

If we have met his release clause then P'boro cannot pull out - the player could decide not to join us but P'boro have no choice as that is literally the point of a release clause.

Would this be bad news for the Turkish Messi if we sign him?
Won't be bad news for anyone, it would say to Ozumer, Green, Williams etc you need to stay fit and in form to be picked. Same thing go for MM. We have competition and if your form drops you are on the bench, plus Lee Bowyer like to rotate to keep players fresh, even though he hasn't been able too so much this season.

But then you had that mess with Arsenal offering the joke fee over the release clause for Luis Suarez which was rejected
Imagine Peterborough can reject if they really wanted but god that would leave a mess between them and the player if found out, which i imagine would have

Every one of the eight or so other Championship clubs will already be fully aware of the release clause and the fact that he's out of contract in the summer. Clearly none to date has met the release clause, but yes that could now change. It would be then up to Maddison if he wished to talk with any other club.

I don't think they can pull out of a deal if we've triggered a release clause.
To make this clear, Peterborough themselves cannot pull out of this deal IF the release clause has been met, only Maddison himself can decide against it. That's the point of a release clause, the only thing that could happen now is another club comes in and also meets his release clause which would then come down to which club can offer Maddison the best deal. It obviously isn't clear cut but it's promising that their chairman has spoke out and we now know Lee met him.
Fingers crossed we will meet no stumbling blocks cause he really is quality and we simply don't have anyone like him

Personally I don't think we have met the release clause anyway. Hopefully the offer on the table is enough for us to be the preferred destination.
What a signing Maddison would be. I wouldn’t worry too much about his attitude, he should of been out of league 1 a good 2/3 years ago and I think that’s why he may have the attitude. Fantastic feet and technique.
Toney would be amazing - wishful thinking however I just feel like we might just see him in a Charlton shirt.
I played with and against Harlee Dean a few times, Thurrock, grays and Bishop Stortford. Absolute helmet of a man:
Beat him when he was at Grays 3-1 in a pre season game years ago and had a row with him mid game after him snapping me (I was 16) about 4 times and of course the young whippersnapper in me stamped out after... but not a bad footballer and was very good at brentford. Bit of a loon.
I won the battle that day, however if he signs for my boyhood club while I hung my boots up at 26 and now work 9-6 to go watch him on the weekend, he would have most definitely won the war!
Neverless, it’s just nice to be linked with decent players now. COYRs

No way would Neymar get in the team before Bonne or Davidson plus Neymar would be shit on a freezing Tuesday night in Stoke.
Been a winger in the past, this season he’s played at the tip of the diamond with freedom to roam.
