  • Not sure what to make of the moves for Toney and Maddison.

    If both are being brought in as part of some extra muscle to keep us up - fine. But neither look like the type of long term acquisitions I'd expect from a new owner...or from a manager with cash to spend from a new owner.

    Proven League One pro's are unlikely to get us promoted to the top flight IMO.
    You mean like Hamer, Kerms, Stephens, Konsa, Shelvey. 

    We don’t have loads of quality players. A couple of our best are on loan too. If they are going to massively improve our team we should go in for them. I suspect both of these are:

    Dont think we will he buying Toney. I think they will want £4m + (the £13m was pie in the sky) and I dont think we would splash that amount of money. Might as well get Gnanduillet for £1m.

    Can’t see Toney happening.
    too much cash!
    Didn't sound like Southall wanted to spend that much on him judging by his interview on sky.
    He spoke about him, that made it sound like that was that. 
    Might surprise us yet though!!

    That’s what was rejected for Toney in the summer.
    Their chairman said it publicly.
  • Maddison would be a very good signing. Toney would be an astonishing signing. If he is touted around by Peterborough then there will be quite a few Championship sides very interested. Strikers always attract a lot of attention.

  • Maddison is 100% not going to sign. MS is playing along to help push the price up for the teams actually interested...Toney could be more realistic pending the Lyle Taylor situation

    Surprised Birmingham are making bids for players given their problems with FFP
  • But that is what Peterborough do, buy cheap and sell on at a big profit.

    Then they buy another youngster and hope to sell him on.

    Good business model but must be frustrating as hell for their fans.
    Know that feeling well
    Lookie,konsa,grant,Gomez and aribo have all made the step up from league 1 
    I wonder from where??

  • He doesnt need to push the price up!!... Its a release clause!!
    But we don’t have to meet the release clause, we just need to make an acceptable offer. As others have said, £2.5m is a lot for an out of contract player, so they may just want to take the best offer, rather than have him walk in the summer when they can’t meet his wage demands. 

    So maybe an upfront cash amount, add ons for us staying up, maybe for resigning him and a sell on clause might do it.

    TFO ?
    The Fat One (Barry Fry DOF?) TTFN 😉

    Their 16 year old wonderkid jude bellingham may leave for big bucks in the window

    When did Gomez play in league one?  I think it was Lookman's performance in the championship that got him his move tbh.

    I think it depends what your expectations are.  I think Brentford fans might start getting the hump if they continue with there current policy for 3 or 4 more years and don't go up.  For example.  I think MOST of us would be happy with it for a few years but the SOME would get restless with "standing still".

    sorry, not sure how to embed tweets. it’s peterborough’s chairman saying they have turned down every bid for toney
  • If Maddison was the player Lee drove to see and I assume it was at they said it came from Matt Southall, then you would like to think that Marcus has the ambition to step up now and a chat from Lee Bowyer and a decent contract may make the player come to London. Could still be 50/50 but l hope so as I wanted this to happen 6 years ago the week before he signed for Posh from Gateshead.

    Really? Or is this a wooosh?

    Young and hungry players that have something to prove. You seem to have missed the building gradually bit about the long term plan. IF signed they would be perfect players for what we are trying to achieve. Get a grip.
  • Mcanthony has stated tonight that bids have been made for Toney but none accepted

    ...thats a fair point ..though still think it's a mechanism to get other teams to meet the release clause and Charlton's 'bid' is maybe not so serious as he's not the main target 

    My first post here, could be my last if I'm horribly wrong! 
  • It often happens. Pretty sure Pope played well against Burnley, which helped him get his move there
    yes it does,  remember that brilliant Kermorgant performance and the goal that he scored away at Bournemouth when we lost 2-1 on opening day of season I think.
    Eddie Howe obviously put that down in his pitchside notebook if Yann ever became available and thanks to Katrien and Roly it did.

    wonder If macanthony is using his mate as bait to get interest in him. Just don’t see him being a bowyer signing.
  • Don’t trust that Peterborough chairman - making everything public.... drumming up more interest.... something doesn’t ring true

    Naaah this place would be a quiet post if we only posted the right stuff all the time

    Welcome to CharltonLife - Shocked that IBBORG as chief mod hasnt offered to show you around

    So that was what the coffee meet up was all about! Drum up the deal for Maddison and you can have Toney for the difference.
