Maddison gives it large so deal is off - but it's fake news

It looks as if a fake Twitter account may have given the news about the deal with Peterborough over Marcus Maddison having failed. One Charlton fan has done some detective work and sorted out the difference between the real and fake accounts.

Peterborough did, however, give the green light for talks (via their own web page) earlier in the week and there has been no definite news. Perhaps it's just a case of waiting for the medical. Best to wait for something one way or the other from Richard Cawley or Louis Mendez.

Other clubs have expressed an interest. Birmingham City have made a number of bids for Maddison, but have fallen short of the required amount (at least £2.5m). Blackburn Rovers are also interested according to 'Lancs Live'.

Moaners and pessimists will no doubt be on their keyboards, but this is a time for calm and realism. It's all too easy to waste money in the January transfer window on Carlos Kickabout or Joe Journeyman.

What is not fake news is that Matt Southall is in Abu Dhabi talking to His Excellency which has to be encouraging.
