We've had all summer to sign them, they are free, non gratis, zilch, nada....
Free agents have the upper hand. They can hang on until they get the best offer. No way will they sign up early in the window. |

but then run the risk of clubs moving to other targets and pricing themselves down as desperation takes hold

What if there was a release clause in his contract that Posh met and we had no choice but to accept their offer?

no mention of that from Flynn. But that would make not getting a replacement more understandable

Yeah there’s not signing up early in the window and then there’s waiting until the window closes altogether. Good players (for the most part) tend not to do that |

…then the club could/should/would save face by saying that… |

Umerah would have been a very welcome addition but I’m glad we didn’t overbid for him - he’s not worth much more than 100K. Fair play to Hartlepool for holding firm

Shows the kind of striker Flynn is looking at, though. Absolutely right, too. No point replacing Wakeling with similar.

It’s definitely the main thing we’re missing in the squad to “mix it up.” It’s tricky for us to find a late winner/equaliser even if a teams under pressure because balls in the box won’t do much with our current squad |

Any ITKers have any inkling roughly how much we got for Wakeling?

Enough to pay the remainder of the share repayment i should think. In other words, no idea |

I believe Posh Red had heard it was. £300k plus 30% sell on. A very good deal if true I’ve just quoted this in the other thread. |
