Relax. Have heard that one of the reasons Tahnoon Nimer got into football is because he absolutely loves transfer deadline day and Jim White.
He's got a war chest of £millions set aside to spend on the last day and he will be watching in his office with anticipation wearing his yellow gown and head dress as Jimbo wets his knickers each time we get a big signing through the door.
Why is it when other clubs are linked with a player within a day theres a picture of them wearing their new teams shirt yet us it's always a week of rumours then nothing?
It’s like the takeover! We announced it way too early and should have waited for the approval from the EFL. maddison fee agreed, who cares, we only want the news when the players signed. Just gets everyone at it on the keyboards. we all panic and then it happens. Feb 1st is when we know how we are set, but now we are all shitting ourselves cos we’ve got cash unlike the Roland era! At least we are competitive in the market now.

The trouble is we don't know if we are competitive in the market now. Currently we have only heard words but seen nothing to back it up yet.
The only thing that is stopping me being too worried at the moment is that HE is invested but all we have seen so far is PR puff.
Bit concerned with Maddison and his 4am Instagram posts from the gym.
Not sure I want a player that's up all hours not exactly advertising the healthy lifestyle needed to be a professional athlete.
To look at it a different way, loads of people didn’t know that BWP was up all hours playing Xbox but was still scoring goals for us in League One.
I think if we do sign Maddison, his habits will change because the players get monitored with how much sleep and quality sleep they have each night. Through an app and a simple little blood test says all the medical staff need to know. If he were to sign, he would get quickly found out, fined, and probably not play. That’s where Bowyer would put him right, especially as Bowyer can talk a bit from experience of his younger days.

It’s not as if he’s a Tony Watt who’s had the occasional good run of form. He’s consistently scored and created goals for Posh in the 5/6 years he’s been there. To add to that in the previous 4 seasons he’s made 40+ appearances. Williams, Oztumer and Aneke haven’t been able to play as much as that, never mind with that sort of end product to go with it.

To have a bid accepted we must have put something decent on the table. I don’t believe we offered the release clause trigger of 2.5m though. some are reporting that In my eyes that’s something we couldn’t have done under the old git.

If Maddison reads your post Sage - it'll put the fear of God in him.

As you say we don't know that the bid was £2.5m and we don't know what the contract offer was.
Not saying we didn't bid competitively but just that currently we have no actual evidence of ESIs intent. Just words so far.

He's one of the best players in league one, I'm sure he's fine...
Let's hope his attitude changes when he comes to the Championship (not necessarily with us). He seems a bit of a problem player, especially given Posh don't even want to include him in their plans whether he stays or not.

I’m given to understand that this kind of behaviour has been noticed by Peterborough fans and staff for a long while and is just one of a number of strange things about him.
Someone's probably on a wind up but Adel Taarabt isn't getting much game time at Benfica. And it fits with the "former Premier League and Championship footballer" thing.

It might be an easier ride at Birmingham.
If it were to scare him off, maybe it would be best he doesn’t sign because those are standard practice.

He's 30 now .... but he did make a big impression at QPR in the Prem a few years ago. And he passes the CL height test .... 6' 1".

Taarabt is far more potential trouble than Maddison.

Not the first time I’ve heard that name mentioned over the last couple of days. Can’t see it though, he’s played 21 games for them this season, averaging 70 mins a game according to transfermarkt.com
Would fit with someone saying that we'd be underwhelmed with one signing - Trust in Gallen but can see a lot of people being disappointed till he plays
Be nice for Benfica to repay us after pinching Sarmiento!!

Tbf with his career a sleeping pattern isn't that big of a deal, as long as he manages it correctly, has a proper schedule and isn't fatigued for match days it would be fine. Also never know, off chance he may have got up to go gym early.
I noticed on his Instagram he has over 900 hours of apex legends (video game for those that don't know) or something along those hours, so he is very much in the Tony Watt department. I think though if he came here that could all change, we have some proper leaders/tough characters in our dressing room, Bowyer, Jacko, Lockyer, Pratley, Pearce etc I feel like he wouldn't get away with it as much. All due respect to Peterborough they don't have the kind of characters and facilities we do and it is a big step up
Think they know he is going and are simply trying to force him to go now so they get a fee for him.
Which is the thing that concerns me with him.. in that they are "forcing him out" and not willing to try and keep him... so not bothered if he signs or not.

Anyway, it's a transfer rumour. :smi:smirk:
