Didn't mention a fee.

One thing though... if it was agreed last night and he signed earlier today, why does another team's chairman have to tell us? Where's the story on our website?

Where's the bids from us for other players?

Called it. Welcome to Posh.

Maybe Ken asked Peterbrough to not mention it was signed last night?

Ken wanted it last minute again and loads of Vat that will cripple us.

If you paid a million or more for a lightweight kid that hasn't scored in ages then well played. Lets hope he shows a better attitude for you than he has done for us, though somehow I doubt it.

Here fucking here. He's been pretty poor in his last 15 games for the club, the ones where he wasn't injured.

We're not in the business of paying out too much up front.....

Wommers · **Posted:** Mon Sep 01, 2014 9:50 pm

If true, the silence on this from the club is unreal. Confirms we have absolutely no ambition whatsoever (in my opinion).

mib1975 · **Joined:** Sun Jun 28, 2009 7:02 pm **Posts:** 308

Now are we going to announce any signings ?? Criminal if nothing's inplace there will be less than 2500 there on Saturday sick as fook

Please Dear God, don't tell me Pools have sold him AND not brought in anyone to replace him. Even Russ and Ken couldn't be that fucking incompetent.

Surely they have someone lined up

it certainly has been no secret banghead

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Mon Sep 01, 2014 9:54 pm

wonder who the two young uns are? Permanent or loans?

Compo · **Posted:** Mon Sep 01, 2014 9:54 pm

Kh CC and RG it's like amateur hour, we don't know how business works in this game if the alleged promises etc where met we could have had this done ages ago and got a good replacement.

I say fair play to James and good luck we are a pin pot run club

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Mon Sep 01, 2014 9:55 pm

Ken - "Please don't tell everyone how much you paid"

Darragh - "Can't promise that i'm afraid"

Ken - "Aww hawayy Darragh"

Darragh - "Let me announce it live on TV 80 mins before the window shuts, 12 hours after the deal was agreed and i wont tell anyone the fee"

Ken - "Aww that makes us look daft though"

Darragh - "It's this or nothing i'm afraid Kenneth"

Ken - "Aww go on then, i hate you Darragh you're proper nasty"

Darragh - "Soz Ken, here is the inital payment of £20, i'll sort the rest out later mate"

A few points...

1. Why oh why are we letting Peterborough's chairman announce it on BT Sport? Was that part of the deal? Why are we come to arrangements to pander to a egomaniac?

2. We have one striker who is under contract - Marlon Harewood (aged 35) and Charlie Wykes on a months loan. That is simply not suffice. We HAVE to sign a striker. No questions asked. In fact we need to sign two strikers. If we don't sign a striker at all, major questions must be asked. Even if we signed a journeyman striker on a free, it's better than nothing. Teams that don't have strikers struggle to score and get relegated. What if Wykes or Harewood get injured? What if Wykes doesn't get his month's loan renewed? Is there a recall option?

By the time I click submit, I am hoping a transfer deal for us to sign a striker will be announced. I am not holding my breath though.

Mick Tait's Head Bandage · **Posted:** Mon Sep 01, 2014 9:56 pm

Well thank fuck for that. Can we talk about something else now?
Luke James has often flattered to deceive IMHO, and I'm not that bothered he's gone.
What I certainly AM bothered about is the silence from HUFC, and the way the whole saga has played out.

Don't the club always say the official website is the first place for breaking news etc?

alleztfc · **Posted:** Mon Sep 01, 2014 9:57 pm

Undisclosed = Piss-all no doubt

I honestly think these two unnamed youngsters will be it.

James said: 'I am over the moon that everything is completed and I am now a Peterborough United player. As soon as I knew about the interest I wanted to come to the football club. Peterborough is a great club and I am thrilled to be here.

If this is true then why on earth Havnt we bought anyone. Disgraceful from the club.

I repeat what I said IOR OUT

Ken wants it announced last minute again. Complete Fukn joke.

As for James attitude it was pretty exemplary until 2 weeks ago.

Good luck to him, quite gutted its ended like this as I massively rate the lad. Like everyone else I don't know what's went on behind the scenes. I have my views but the club will make post number 2 and threaten me no doubt if I air them.

We've turned into a shambles and ior are getting every last penny out of us they can....... For themselves.

1 million a year..... Well aye!

parmo · **Posted:** Mon Sep 01, 2014 10:03 pm

I hope that if they have sent two young uns up here, they will be man enough to deal with it. They won't have had a choice in the matter clearly.

Let's hope if that's what has happened, then they will make a name for themselves here

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Mon Sep 01, 2014 10:04 pm

i hope he scores 50 goals and Arsenal snap him up in the summer for 10 million. It's nailed on there'll be a sell on clause in there

Who the fuck have we got from Peterborough then . Two young uns liable to be fuckin ball boys. Absolute bull shit. rakxe
