Boro and Derby looking at Toney and Maddison, might be a bit cheaper after Saturdays gamehttps://the72.co.uk/145313/middlesbrough-and-derby-interested-in-20-million-peterborough-duo/amp/?__twitter_impression=trueCOYR
I’m sure I read their chairman out on Twitter that Maddison’s buy out clause is less than £3 million. He’s a top quality player that will be in the championship soon enough. Does seem like a kn*b though.
Maddison has 5 goals and 6 assists in 9 league games this season. Am sure we could iron out some of his behavioural issues if he signed for us!

While £20 mill is wide of the mark i certainly dont think we should be laughing about it.In those 2 they invested money in them in the first place.Are now reaping the benefits of the most lethal strike force in the division Saturday withstanding.They also have the security of a bumper pay day when they move on.. In comparison we have a couple of young lads on loan we probably paid a decent loan fee for,who we will be spending good money on developing to hand them back for nothing in 8 months time... It doesn't take much to work out which is the better approach as far as i'm concerned..

We won't get that if we are so reliant on loan players for our quality. However i doubt we pay a loan fee. I'd expect we'd just pay their wages or a proportion of them for the season. If they were older established players maybe there'd be a fee but it's in the big clubs interest to get unproven players developed and we're getting a bit of history doing that now
