Also that fount of journalistic truth AKA HITC has come up with...............
QUOTE
MARCUS MADDISON, 24, left or right wing (can also play as a centre forward)
According to a report on TeamTalk, Derby County, Middlesbrough and Aston Villa are all
chasing Marcus Maddison. Maddison has been left out of Peterborough United’s pre-season
tour, and he did not feature in Steve Evans’ side first game of the season, amid speculation
over his future.
Maddison is understood to be valued at £2.5 million by Posh, with Darragh MacAnthony
telling the player that he would sell him to a Championship side this summer, following
Peterborough’s failure to get promoted last season.
Villa, Middlesbrough and Derby are now all keen to bring in the League One assist-king.
Preston North End and Wigan Athletic are also said to be keen on Maddison by TeamTalk.

Now, I usually pooh pooh anything from HITC. However, this one seems to have some logic behind it. Marriott scored a boatload at Posh last season. Posh's assist provider in chief was Maddison. The 2 of them have a proven track record. Keeping that partnership together is not a bad idea.
Having said that, we already have Lawrence, Bennett, Jozefzoon, Wilson and Thomas for the 2 wide spots available. A 6th is, IMO, unnecessary.
