Think you may find that I had mentioned that weeks ago and also ggave a comparison on scoring records betweem Marriott & Grant & comparative values!
We favour a permanent transfer & Counteh have been told the price too!
Sorry forgot to add (or actually repeat)..... there is also scope for the swap deal PLUS a further season long loan for another player - with a 'balancing fee' - in the undisclosed scenario.
Grant wants first team football, as do some of our other youngsters - when we 'enquired' about Marriott, Posh (like other clubs) know we have players to offload - loan and permanent.
Counteh need to be careful of burning bridges.
I'm still not totally convinced that we are still after Marriott, but at the right price - he is a decent signing - just not convinced he fits the bill for the type of striker we are after.
Should be lots of players moving on soon!
