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.
They know he wants to leave, so are trying to get a fee for him. If he signed a new contract with Posh, they would be delighted

Maybe he's made it clear he won't be signing a new contract?
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.
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
Agree but also if he stays out clubbing he gets caught out in the Peterborough because it's a small City.

Yeah agreed again though I don't really mind as long as he does the business on the pitch. Obviously it's on a different scale but on a weekday the other night I had 5 pints and still showed up to work on time and managed to do my job, go gym after work as well etc. The point is I don't really care what a footballer gets up to outside the game, as long as they put 100% in on the pitch and perform it really doesn't matter, all about how you can manage it, some footballers put in all the effort in the world probably and are still crap. I get he looks like a bit of a twat and lets face it chances are he is, but he's a performer and we need some quality
Wonder if its us that he wants to join but wants to string along the fact we've got Middle East owners now
After all the Peterborough owner said that Maddison was "buzzing" after meeting Bowyer (the effect that Gallen has mentioned so many times I bet)
If,as rumour has it,he's also failed to agree terms with birmingham then i would say he's stringing people along until he gets the desired move to a north east team? If he was that 'buzzing' to join Charlton i think he would've met somewhere in the middle re terms by now. Im sure Bow and Gallen are looking at other targets now.
Three types of player 1, Up and coming young player who shows promise . 2, Someone who could cost the earth and break our pay scale. 3,Someone who wants to play for the club and the management team.
I would take 1 and 3 all the time.
Gallen has contacts far and wide not just in europe if he and Bowyer work hand in hand all could fall into place for the rest of the season and for the next few years as well.
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.
Invested what ? The Belgian said he would give the club away for nothing. So far it looks like ESI haven't spent anything ?
Starting to go off this signing reading about his attitude.
Yeah how dare he not rush into a decision.
Might have an attitude but it’s not an issue for Bowyer and Gallen, neither has it stopped him from playing regularly, scoring and creating goals throughout his career.

Is invested financially (responsible for running costs) and personally (reputation, status etc). Besides they will be purchasing the rest and are contractually obliged to do so. I am pretty sure the EFL wouldn't have signed off without knowledge they have both the intention and means to complete the full purchase
Posh fans all slag Maddison off for only turning up for 1 in 5 games - but his assists and goals record is better than ANYONE in the league over the past 5 seasons. He’s clearly extremely talented. he may well prefer to go back up north but he has a young family and they may not want to...
He’s got an offer from us, he’s allegedly looked at Birmingham and they can’t agree. I suspect this isn’t yet over. And Christ knows we need some creativity, goals and pace all of which he has!
really couldn’t give a toss if he’s a bit of a nobhead on social media - he’s paid to play football and he’s fucking good at it

Its quite amusing... People hate Footballers who come out after games and say the same old scripted crap
Funnily they also cant stand the other type of Footballers who have a personality!!
IMO we need a left back, a centre back, a centre mid and a striker before the window closes, and that’s with no more outgoings. We are seriously struggling and we can’t rely on injured players coming back anymore
“Panic” signings needed now, we aren’t getting out our own half away from home. Pay over the odds whatever it takes, the long term will be shit if the short term is shit (relegation to league 1). This is how it is, not ideal but somethings gotta happen.

Troy Deeney made me laugh today, interviewed after the game and was asked about his missed penalty and his response was "I'm not gonna apologise for missing it, I have scored enough winning goals before and will take the next one"
So frustrating, I like what Southall says re not being ripped off and sustainability but if he doesn’t act soon then we’re in trouble. He says they bought the club in time for the transfer window & 18 days in nothing! His a former agent and knows how it works so would’ve thought deals would be already agreed & lined up! All talk and hot air so far, needs to act now!

Personally hope it's not Tarrabt as he is very much a luxury player and that's not what we need right now

GOAL Swansea.
Scorer: Brewster (signed on loan January)
Assist: Gallagher (signed on loan January)
