Marcus Maddison has been released by Peterborough United. They've also got rid of first team coach Aaron McLean.
If he's been released, that might affect our decision to sign him. Wasn't the problem that we didn't want to pay the £400,000 fee? Might be more tempted now that he's a free agent?
Not sure, if he's got a contract and we're paying his wages, it might just be a short term deal offered until this season ends.
“I think we’re still working on the other two (Maddison and Wilks). I’ve left it to the football club really,” said McCann this week. “The other two are fine. Marcus hasn’t played (this week) because he’s got a bit of a tight groin but he’s fine. He’s just overdone himself in one of the shooting drills. He’ll be okay in a couple days. “We’re just taking it day by day. Things change. One day you think you’re fine and the next it changes. We’ll just have to see where we are with those two.”
Maddison hasn't got much incentive to turn out for City, his loan deal will end on 30th June. He wouldn't want to get injured and jeopardise a good contract move.
IF that’s the case with Maddison he’s of no use. We need battlers to stay up...players who will play for the shirt and not for a move.
I don't agree, if he wants to play in the championship, he needs to show he can step up or he is off to either a league one side or a lower half championship side, with no big payday.
What happens if he has serious injury in the remaining games? Who pays for his rehab, recovery, insurance after his short term deal ends after the remaining 9 games?
He's damaged goods at the moment, his attitude has been slated by MacAnthony and he's hardly set the world alight since he got his opportunity in the Championship. He definitely needs to be playing, he's got a lot to do in the last nine games if he's going to have a chance of a good deal next season.
If he has offers waiting for him, then he will be well aware of them already. If any of them are attractive to him then he won't play. If he plays then imo it shows he's not an in demand player
Maddison seems to be the type of player that has got some ability but only shows it when he can be bothered. Not sure what sort of influence he has on the dressing room, seems to be a bit of an oddball.
