If it doesnt come off we should move on to other targets. Guaranteed he is gambling that multiple clubs come in for him. Imagine our interest has firmed now Bobby has left and they are hoping Derby sell Vydra. I am with you though. Give them your final offer and a deadline. Say 4.5m and Taylor by end of next week. It is within their rights to gamble and he has a long contract but we need to not play his games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the press report and what is actually happening aren't usually in the same timescale. That story is probably at least 48 hours behind what's actually going on in this transfer.

Good point, could be the case. If its not though i dont think we should be dragged into this circus all summer. IF LJ and the powers that be think this guy really is the real deal then make a final offer of £7m and say we want a yes or no in 48 hours. We have got the money so for the sake of an extra million or so we should put a marker down and walk away if they dont accept as this has gone on long enough. Posh can then pat themselves on the back when he signs for derby for £5m on the last day of the window and DM can go on social media to assure the masses of posh fans what a great deal him and Bazza got.

So applying the Gas coefficient of value, if Marriott is valued at £5.5m then Posh will be paying us a balance of circa £4.5m! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've guessed 10 so 12k wouldn't be unbelievable, Peterborough can afford more than Rovers so wouldn't be surprised if we went halves with them for the last year of his contract with us or something similar.

Rudolf Hucker Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Would PX'ing Taylor for Marriot allow us to avoid paying the 15ers a percentage of his sell-on fee (or doesn't the system work like that?)

Ska Junkie Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 As Matty T hasn't asked for a move, wouldn't we have to pay the difference between what he would earn at Posh and what we're paying him for the remainder of his contract anyway? As for the gas bloke knowing he wants more game time, does he understand that MT needed 2 hernia ops and wasn't actually available for quite a bit of last season? If the PX happens, it seems a good deal for all parties to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 12 months on his contract, if it meant a deal for Marriott I don't think we'd mind, 6k a week would be what just over 300k extra?

We’re not stupid enough to sell all of our assets blimey . Would be absolute madness. Regarding Taylor , id like him to stay. He struggled with injury all last season and had no pre season. With a good one behind him this summer I’d hope he’d get a decent amount of games. Very intelligent player imo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
