I do rate him, wouldn’t mind throwing up to 500K to ensure him now before his contract runs out imo

Again might be nothing but if we sign the hector lad, assume the plan would be as an understudy for when Sheaf goes. Plus got Allen who could continue and mentor him ( can’t believe where we were with Allen but he’s been brilliant).

Allen has had more comeback in this team then JR and Sue Ellen lol

Watched him last year and thought he was decent and a good prospect. Haven’t watched him this year but that whole squad has underperformed. Think it’s hard to judge a player of one shit season everyone has them

After two and a half seasons in League Two with Leyton Orient and now midway through his third in League One with Peterborough, Hector Kyprianou is ready to step up to Championship football.

Kyprianou has a wonderful physical profile: approximately 6ft 2in and fully filled into his 23-year-old frame. He has a graceful poise and balance, which is aesthetically pleasing but also benefits him playing on the half-turn. He blends his calmness on the ball with energy and bite out of possession.

This season, Kyprianou’s role for Peterborough has changed. He has become the playmaking link between defence and midfield, with the ball going through him in order for play to be progressed up the pitch. His 2024/25 heat map shows a player operating side-to-side in front of the backline.

Kyprianou’s 2024/25 heat map (source: sofascore.com)
His heat map from last season, however, demonstrates how much of an all-rounder he was in the Posh midfield – capable of being effective in attacking and defensive phases of play, with the higher number of touches in the opposition’s box also demonstrating his willingness to be a goal threat.

Kyprianou’s 2023/24 heat map (source: sofascore.com)
Kyprianou’s transformation into a deep-lying playmaker can be seen in his pass data. This season, compared to last, he is receiving the ball more and passing the ball more. His long passes, forward passes and passes into the final third have all increased in number, the latter quite notably. Backwards passes have decreased, which is to be expected due to Kyprianou is getting on the ball in a deeper area of the pitch.

As a result of the change in position, Kyprianou is no longer tasked with providing a goal threat. Last season he bagged 8 League One goals for Peterborough – one every five or six matches – whereas this season he had to wait until last weekend for his first.

Whether Kyprianou is better in the role that he played last season or this season is down to personal preference. What he has shown, though, is that he’s highly capable of performing multiple midfield tasks. This has to make him of interest to many teams.

Think of Kyprianou not as a blank canvas, but as two half-finished drawings of good quality that simply require a bit of touching up to become something really special.

And to make him even more appealing, Kyprianou is approaching the end of his contract. Peterborough tend to sell their assets at top-market value, but unless something changes, there could be a cut-price deal to be done here. Plus, Kyprianou becoming part of the Cyprus squad and playing international minutes will likely have drawn attention from scouts on the continent, whose teams can arrange pre-contract talks from 1st January.

There’s a whole host of clubs at the bottom end of the Championship who could do with a player of Kyprianou’s ilk. He’s one to watch closely throughout January.

Do they have a year option too? If so he might cost a bit more than that.
I rate him too though, think he'd step up to the level and thrive under the management of Lampard.

He did say one interesting thing that players are aware and often react negatively when playing bogey teams.
Pre match conferences always says it is unimportant.

They've just got Al-Hamadi from Ipswich and put a bid in for in for Mayulu at Bristol so I doubt they would

I'd like to see DaSilva moved but he won't go because that'll leave just bidwell, I'd like to see Collins moved on but I don't think that'll happen, I'd just be happy with a couple as I can't see 3-4 coming in mate

Dasilva goes only if we can line someone up but wouldn’t shock me if we did consider it. Collins is one I think the club would love to move on but will struggle due to his form this year. Only expect one or two personally

Sorry, my bad - I skipped over his name when skimming the team sheet earlier on.

In any case, he hasn’t played a minute of football so it’s not ‘clear’ he’s seen as an understudy.

That's what I mean both won't move on untill the summer, I think out the two Collins would be the hardest to shift

It has to be the right player, because you don't want anyone to disrupt the group as it looks like FL is building spirit and a togetherness within.

Getting the 3 back will be a big bonus. The other positive in my opinion is Burroughs, he adds more depth to wide defensive positions. FL must like what he sees and must think he can improve him enough to keep a place in the group.

He's only starting because Wright is injured.
Personally I'd sell, as long as we can use the money in this window.

Agree - he is a very good player - probably the best at Posh right now!
I hope this has got some truth in it.

I've noticed in recent games we have been beaten comprehensively for headers. Need some height as well as ability in midfield.
Got lucky against Blackburn down our right side especially.
