It’s lovely to think that the Posh scoring hero of the 201718 season would return to

London Road and I suppose if Posh are playing Championship football by then there would be an outside chance. But Marriott reportedly earned a sixfold increase in salary when joining the Rams so that’s an immediate and obvious stumbling block. Besides you could see him playing very effectively alongside Toney thanks to his pace and clinical finishing, but he’s far from a direct replacement. Marriott, after a fine first season at Derby, has scored just three goals this season amid rumours his attitude and workrate in training are not all they should be.

His 33 goals in one Posh seasonshouldneverbeforgotten, but the man himself isn’t the answer.

The big Frenchman is as physically imposing as Toney and he’s enjoying the best scoring season of his career with Blackpool with 18 goals. He certainly terrorised Posh in that crazy 4-3 game at Bloomfield Road earlier this season, but I’m not sure Darren Ferguson or Darragh MacAnthony would fancy him. Toney is a big man, but he also boasts an excellent technical all-roundgamewhichissomething Gnanduillet lacks. Ferguson likes his strikers to bring others into play so they need vision, strength and touch as well as a decent amount of natural ability. Gandanuillet is also 28 which will count against him, but he is out of contract at the end of the current campaign and if Posh are still in League One he could be worth a punt. Chances?Don’t rule him out
