How many new players have Peterborough signed? I'm always seeing their name in transfer dealings! I think that makes six. MacAnthony did say a lot of their business had been done by the end of last season and they were just waiting to announce many of their new signings. One of the new signings they did early on was a right back and that hasn't been announced yet, which makes me wonder whether that might be James Bolton.

p**ses me off people saying he's out of our price range, why is he? We have bigger gates, no debt, made loads of players sales recently. It's just Roland's attitude and everyone buys this "small club" crap.

Peterborough's turnover is much higher than ours, their attendances were also nearly 1000 per game higher than ours last season and they have made more than we have in the transfer market.
It's not just all about the transfer fee, it's about things like wages and the signing on fee which are constrained by the turnover of a club.

It's just Roland's attitude and everyone buys this "small club" cr@p. Listen to the ambition of the past 4 managers, each one targeting the championship, not buy spending out of our budget, but certainly not spending no money, think about the wages that Mellon spent on players like El Abd, Lawrence and NKP, Hurst bought several players including Toto, Nolan and Jones, often with 3 year contracts, Askey bought Laurent, AAH, Norburn for a record fee, over 600k spent last summer, fees for Williams, Udoh, Ebanks Landell and mass wages for Edwards. Sure he may not spend wisely all the time but he certainly is spending at a significant rate, think about the losses we make each season, about 500k, we may be making profits from players now and then, but that doesn't mean we can go and spend 1.5 mill on one player, who has never scored at league 1 level and may flop as we all know we are often the graveyard of strikers, do that and your 4 million cushion turns into 2.5 million, enough to sustain for 5 seasons, assuming we have a net spend of 0 for said 5 seasons, which isn't realistic.

It's not just all about the transfer fee, it's about things like wages and the signing on fee which are constrained by the turnover of a club. The one thing that has always been the case with Peterborough though. They are always prepared to take a punt on non league signings. Some succeed, some don't, but those that have have made a fair bit of money for them! Frazer Blake-Tracy and Serhat Tasdemir are the 2 most recent examples. Here are some of the previous ones:- www.thenationalleague.org.uk/posh-boys-peterboroughs-national-league-stars-that-42385

Mmmmm spending lots of money guarantees success in football, where have I heard that before!!!! Try telling that to Leeds, Portsmouth, Notts County, Bury,and all of the other clubs that are operating on a knife edge or a financial loss. RW has not got to where he is by splashing the cash and long may it reign.

Have I actually just read that Martin believes we should be spending over one million pounds on one player?
Has anyone got any concentrated sulfuric acid so I can wash my eyes out?

I'm not suggesting we necessarily should have brought Eisa, but the notion he's out of our price range is nonsense. Martin we turnover what? About £4.5 million a year? Maybe a little more, but not much. The notion we could splash out a third that amount or more on one player is unrealistic. It would be horribly reckless - we don't want to be the next Bury. Our chairman may be wealthy but he doesn't have bottomless pockets, and I wouldn't expect him to speculate huge chunks of his hard earned wealth on lower league footballers. As for Mo Eisa, he's had one good season in his career. He may turn out to be brilliant, but he's too much of a gamble at that price.

We spend over £1m on a striker and he unfortunately sustains a “Shop” type knee injury in the first week of the season. What do we do now - go out and buy a replacemnt? If we are still in the window, that may be possible, but selling clubs would now be thinking that we are minted ((reckless) and asking prices would be upped accordingly. Look how much Hurst threw around at Ipswich on players that then struggled to fit in. I will stick to our tried and tested method thank you.

Peterborough often throw money at players yet this will be their 7th season on the spin in League One, averaging just above mid table.

Be nice if we spent £1m across two or three quality players rather than £600k on 8+ like last summer.

I think we've wasted a bit of money though on getting in average players, and then trying to get rid of them by paying off there contracts, or selling them on for poor money. Mellon was the worst one for this. Cost us thousands

Our, maybe more sensible, strategy is to speculate on the Eisa we did.

If we didn't waste so much money on dross and paying them off it would be good! Appreciate every signing can't be perfect but I'd love someone to place on record the reasons for signing AAH, he's truly woeful as are his career stats.

We cant afford to splash out £1million on a player, ridiculous to think so. I think £250k is our record signing and would suggest that is probably our limit as it stands, but lets not forget that a £250k signing costs a lot more than that, you will have a signing on fee, agent fee and the small matter of an expensive contract. I would be surprised if we were willing to spend that much for a while as we didnt get a lot on our investment last summer.
Anyway,I dont think transfer fees are the problem, theres so many players out of contract who can be picked up for free, the issue is the wages we are willing to pay. We simply cant compete with some of the clubs when they are willing to ofer the likes of £8k a week

I have no issue in going out and spending 500k-1m on 4/5 good young players as the likelyhood is we would recoup the money if they went on to play higher. I’d be seriously concerned spending £1.25m on a player who’s already shown he struggles at championship level as unless he goes and bangs in 25 next season he’s got nowhere near that sell on value again, also take into account his 6/7k a week wages and he’s a huge punt by posh

Yes, try and get a few young players in on loan or signed up. They'll get around our big pitch a lot easier than the owd uns. On saying that I think grant done very well last season, and I'm just waiting for Edwards to show his true colours next season, after a good pre season. We will see

How many new players have Peterborough signed? I'm always seeing their name in transfer dealings! I've heard from a very reliable source close to James Bolton that we have been fed a story. Boltons agent is talking to Portsmouth, not Peterborough. Kenny Jackett knows a good player when he sees one.

Despite big club at Pompey failed to get promoted and fans getting fed up with his hoof ball.

It's just people like me taking the comments from Darragh MacAnthony combined with comments in the Star about bigger clubs in our division being interested in him and thinking he may be heading that way. Portsmouth fit the bill just as much. Portsmouth's right back last season was a loanee, Nathan Thompson, so it makes sense that they could be interested in Bolton.

Naismith was Peterboroughs right back for all of last season, so Bolton signing for them seems a bit odd unless Naismith is leaving. Can they afford to have 2 first team wages on a singular position, and would Bolton want to leave to not be a first teamer? But I think Darren MacAnthony has suggested they have had a new right back tied up since the end of the season. Find it hard to believe that is the case if its still not been announced! But they do seem to splashing the cash so who knows. Re: Portsmouth. Nathan Thompson wasn't on loan. He's been there since 2017. But he is out of contract and not yet signed, so there may well be a gap there for them.
