Peterborough sell Leonardo Da Silva Lopes for a “seven figure fee” to Wigan. They could potentially make millions off transfers this summer as Marriott and Maddison won’t go cheap too. Even if we were interested in Godden, I’m not sure we could compete with Peterborough on wages.

Even if we were interested in Godden, I’m not sure we could compete with Peterborough on wages. Seems to me, they're more interested in trading players than success on the field. Although I guess one eventually leads to the other if they do it well.

Barnsley is all the talk.
I remember this time last year when Stevenage wanted over a million for Godden, just goes to show how crazy the value of money is in football.
Whilst I prey every season for us to break our old age transfer record, some of the fees are ridiculous for the class of player.
Didn't we want £10m for the Snake before he left? Wanting and getting are two different things, disappointing we didn't get Godden with BB's transfer money. Disappointing for you maybe, but I'm not fussed about Godden. 15 goals from open play in League Two during 16/17 and 10 goals the season just gone is hardly anything to write home about.

I’ve got to say if I was a up and coming young player I would not choose to join Peterborough due to all the pressure there is to perform immediately, the turnover of players they have had over the last 2-3 years has been massive. It sounds like they gave Nichols a hard time even though he finished their top scorer with 13 goals to his name, had he done that at Rovers we would have been praising him for a good first season.

If I was a young player I would look at the amount of players they've moved onto higher levels and think maybe I could do the same. Nichols scored 10 league goals for them and was rightly criticised for his poor return. When you spend the amount of money they (and us) did on him, you have to expect some flak.

True but you’d expect that simply from the sheer number of players they have signed for every successful transfer there have been many failures. They released Mendez Laing, Luke James, Shaquille Coulthirst and Robert Olejnik after considerable amounts were spent on them and sold Tom Nichols, Nicky Ajose and Kane Ferdinand at a loss too. I know they have made 30m profit from it all but still being 9th in League One would suggest it’s hard to build a successful team with so many incomings and departures. I’m glad we don’t do similar, our success has been built around players making their names at this football club and long may it continue.

When you have made £30 million profit you can afford to have a few failures. Im not saying I would neccessarily want to copy their model, but they have built new stands and played championship football a lot more recently than we have, so their approach has been quite successful in some ways.

To be honest for a lot of clubs in our league, that is the only likely way to help get them to the next level. Imagine if we made say £30mil from players? It could help towards our new stadium etc.

Never going to get everyone right however more than not they have struck gold which shows that they have a good scouting network, hoping Tommy Widd can get us to that level.

Im not saying I would neccessarily want to copy their model, but they have built new stands and played championship football a lot more recently than we have, so their approach has been quite successful in some ways. Not 30m profit but 30m transfer revenue, I should of said. They’ve spent 9-10m of that on players and a good deal more on signing on fees and wages. They have got a new stand out of it to their credit. I’m not particularly knocking Peterborough’s transfer policy as to be fair to them they have made a success out of it on a few occasions and I actually like the fact that we ourselves are taking more risks on players and spending a bit more than we have in the past, it might not have worked out with Nichols but signing Sercombe more than made up for that. It’s more the massive turn over of players every season that I don’t really like as I feel that if they had kept together their squads a bit longer they may have achieved success the second time around. If we employed similar tactics I could easily see us struggle, we saw how bad the breakup of a successful bunch of players can be under Trollope, with Northampton and Bury massively struggling this year after doing the same thing. I’d be suprised if Peterborough will finish in the top 6 but time will tell I suppose. We have got rid of players not good enough to move us forward, I think you’ve always got to do that but we haven’t got rid of half the team at once and I think that has been a factor of our success under DC as the players know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Players such as Tony Craig and Ed Upson don’t have great resale value but they provide experience of being in successful teams in this level and if that helps us be a better team and maybe even get promoted it won’t matter, the prize of being in the second tier is huge. If Widdrington can find us a few gems then this will have been a needless debate.

Hear we are interested in Lyle Taylor, along with Ipswich, Wigan and the Posh, l doubt Waq & Hani have the money to get that signing over the line. Personally l do not know where we are currently shopping, probably Poundland definitely not Waitrose. Lol

Decent player but not convinced he would make the step up. If we could get him for a reasonable amout then maybe but if it's a price war then count me out.
