Looks like Gillesphey is pretty much done so him aside, who knows, interesting that we havent announced that yet, are we waiting for someone else to sign the dotted line to do a double announcement perhaps?

Think people overthink these announcements a bit. The comms team will announce any signing as soon as they're allowed. If they don't then it makes it tricky to get training photos, those videos of the players coming out the changing rooms etc. He probably just hasn't quite signed yet. Don't think he would have been in the lounges if he wasn't going to sign though
Before Saturday I'd guess just Gillesphey, not sure what his fitness is like in terms of him being involved though. Unless something else is quite advanced with one of the other names that have been mentioned/rumoured on here then I'd expect just him.
"Crystal Palace have had numerous bids for Peterborough and England youth defender Ronnie Edwards, 20, turned down. They face competition from up to five Premier League clubs with the League One club holding out for up to £10m".
Might explain why Peterborough aren't in a rush to accept low bids for Clarke-Harris.
I think the two things will ultimately be fairly separate. Peterborough are in a bit of a jam because they love their hard negotiating stance but it's also well known that they absolutely will not let a player leave on a free in the summer when they could get money for him in January. People won't like it but I wouldn't be hugely surprised if he ended up going somewhere on deadline day for a reasonable fee as Peterborough run out of time to get something for him. In footballing terms it's not ideal but in business terms it makes sense, and we all know which of those generally wins out

The Peterborough owner has said a few times he expects JCH to go early in the window. Take it with a pinch of salt but they won't want to leave it too late and risk it stalling like in the summer.

Unfortunately he has passed his medical, we are waiting for him to fail one before announcing him.

Is he shit, then ?
Probably. One of their fans says he's too slow. Sound familiar!!!
I don't see us getting Conor Coventry. Featured for West Ham on the bench, I don't see him dropping down to league 1 on a permanent.
I think that link stinks of agent talk/ the club giving Cawley something to post as we trust him and it may take the heat off them.
Sort of like how I am interested in Dua Lipa but she has the pick of most blokes in the world & I'm just a tubby lad from London
There no heat on the owners blimey only been in the role 5 mins .. going to take rest of this season and next to sort out the mis management of the last 10/12 years … and for us to have the structure and foundations to build a top 2 team upon
I think they might have sold up and got out, Ronnie, within 2 years , when the penny finally drops and they realise they are going to keep getting asked for a bigger and bigger budget, and more cash to burn, but hey ho, its all about opinions, none of us really know.
Let's be realistic, Dobson is leaving, whether it be in January or the Summer. But a midfield two of Terry Taylor and Conor Coventry is a very attractive proposition.

Pearce wasn’t fast but at the moment I’d take him all day long.
Coventry isn’t one I have heard, but if true I would imagine would be a permanent signing, he certainly fits the type of players we are looking.
I would add, that Dobson has been offer a take or leave or deal, if he doesn’t sign, he will be gone, same as CBT. But I think that is old news.
As I mentioned there is going to be a lot of transactions this month, in and out of the club. I honestly think these owners want to a big go at, I get to fans are once bitten twice as shy, and want instant success, but personally I feel we need to give them a bit of time, they haven’t done anything alarmingly wrong at the moment. They have a strategy and a plan, and it is certainly bette than the last few owners that’s for sure!
As I go back, there is a base on here would only be happy if it was Varney that took over!
It is a big month for Scott, if no improvement then we deserve to go after him, but at the moment the jury is out for me!
You already made your opinion known before they took over.
Even if we were in the relegation zone right now I could see you trying to spin it as the ownership just wanting to downplay their wealth to lower asking fees. Spin merchant.

You may be right sir. But pace is pretty important in the modern game. If a forward knows he's got you for pace it can be devasting. Unless you're CBT of course. 😀

Peterborough have no money. They need to sell to buy any players for their promotion push.

John Terry wasn't overly fast either, unless he was getting a phone call from Mrs Bridge - Remember him saying that the trick was to read where the ball was going, and get there before the ball does.

Teddy Sheringham was a good example of this. Never the fastest, but made up for it by the way he read the game
There’s a difference between a slow CB like Pearce who was part of a promotion team but didn’t have enough to remain a Championship player and someone like Gary Doherty who by the time he played for us was too slow for L1.
Both had won L1 promotions before playing for us, comes down to our recruitment team being confident Gillesphey’s legs haven’t gone and aren’t going any time soon. Believe he’s played LB and left side of a back three which is a good sign, a CB with no pace at all would usually struggle in those positions.

Knowing our recruitment team, he'll be slower than Doherty. I have absolutely no faith in them bringing the right players in. Even if they did Appleton would manage to play em all in the wong positions.

I should imagine that he is a decent player. Give Appleton a few days with him and he will no doubt turn to shit.

But I doubt Edwards is in his last six months of his contract and can walk for nothing if he’s not out the door in four weeks.
Well yes but if Peterborough know they've got bids of say 8m+ on the table for Edwards they are probably in less of a rush to accept 400k for JCH. They're probably thinking they'll just wait and see if they get an increased panic offer nearer the deadline for him, and if not then at worst they'll take 300-400k on deadline day.

A bit uncalled for that
In the summer he was telling us that we couldn't sign players because we were struggling with FFP and wages.
Now it's all Holden's fault. Just tired of the lines clearly from the ownership peddled with zero critical thought.

They have a bidding war going for Edwards which will solve all their issues, so they have no need to panic.
