Good goalscorer, but never seems to look particularly special. The few times I've seen him play against us I hardly noticed him. Doesn't seem to be anywhere near as good as Toney, he'll probably prove me wrong now however.

I'd have still liked us to have taken a punt on him mind based on his goalscoring record alone.

I know Peterborough have made a lot of money on transfers whilst we've been in league one but they haven't half spent a lot of money as well.

It's disappointing we can't seem to compete for these players. Mind will this lad be on £2.5 p/w considering he's signed for £1.25m?


So he's on £2.5k p/w as their highest player?
Edit: Another thing to note, have you noticed they've signed a striker before Toney has left so won't be under pressure to bring someone in if negotiations are protracted?
Piecing it together dont think we had the money as he says willis was on the phone and you cant turn down sunderland, also seems to think Grigg is on 14k

I think Peterborough will see that it’s very hard to replace someone as good as Toney just how we seen it with Maja

Peterborough have a fair few young lads and room in their wages, he’ll be on 5-8k at a guess.

Lads down here reckon he's already got a club lined up but won't be until start of September. Something about him changing his representation etc.

Good point, it's an average isn't it. I forgot.

I know Brentford and Celtic were both heavily linked. I can't see Celtic forking out that type of money now after crashing out of the Champions League.

He will be on more. Peterborough will have more room to manoeuvre within the salary cap than most clubs as they’ll have a sizeable proportion of their squad filled with u21’s who don’t count towards the limit. It’s why they voted in favour of the cap. They’ll then be able to pick up the best marquee signings from the league as they’ll be able to pay them more than anyone else.

It’s the model that will work best within the cap. They’ve just stolen a march on everyone else on account of the quality of their u21 players which is generally accepted to be the best in the league.

If we had any ambition we should be approaching these players and attempt to unsettle them.
 
Signed a contract to become Peterborough's highest paid player. Mates at work bang on about us having biggest spending power etc. Same as their owner at times. These lot over the last two seasons have spent much more than us.

Our wage is about twice as expensive. Doesnt really hurt their club if they're spending on transfers if theyre receiving more from sales.

He scored two winning goals against us in our last competitive game ....
 
He‘s one that keeps being hyped up that I don’t see the appeal.

He did nothing of note until he joined Bristol Rovers a year or so ago. With players like him I always think he’s either a one season wonder or he’s found the club that works for him and won’t be able to replicate his form elsewhere.

Having said that I also thought Chris Maguire would be an awful signing because Bury fans hated him and the last time he’d had a decent season he was in L2 so it shows what I know about lower league football.

He's looked good every time I've seen him. Strong, powerful, a cracking left foot, holds the ball up well. Everything we'd hope from Wyke.

I've been banging the Clarke-Harris drum for a while now. It seems to have caught on.

Yes, I didn't see the game but by all accounts we were atrocious. The games before that he didn't seem anything special.

Did you miss our games against them the season before last? I was down there for the league game and he hardly got a touch. He was poor in the cup as well.

Good 18 months over his entire career. Injury prone too.



Rovers fans deluded.

"If he does sign for that rag-arseoutfit then I hope we return the favour and trouser a fortune for an absolute lemon like we’ve signed from them in the past."

He won't replace Toney but with the spare cash they could tidy up their defence a bit and end up stronger as a result. I think they'd be my bet to win the league next year.

I do also like our business so far as well though.

The main thing I wanted was a goal scoring striker with power and pace. It appears we still don’t have one. I’m reserving judgment

The pace and power that Parkinson was banging on about, before last season's January window, still hasn't been addressed yet. Two transfer windows. I feel the football will be the same as last season. The young lads won't get much of a chance imo. Parkinson just seems the type to constantly go with "seasoned pros".
In fact the team that starts in two weeks will be the same as last season.
