Barry Fry has history of making ridiculous public statements on the value of players, I remember him quoting £4m for Jonathan Hunt in the 90s who was at Birmingham, I think he got a transfer to Derby and his career just evaporated...

Why don't we use the money on Brights wages on loan from wolves and put Hiwula up front his natural position.

Fry has one of the worst reputations in football
And for blokes from his era there is a very long list.....

He is what the press call a character and sensible people call a piece of work

Bright must be injured, that's my guess. Perhaps he did fail a medical somewhere?

Opinion from a Posh supporting friend:

Very meh. Not great, not bad. Just an average L1 striker really. Could really go either way to be honest.

Matt Godden. Nowhere as good as the last two we signed from Posh.

Who do you think is available that will be better than someone who got 18 goals at our level last year?

I don’t understand why they would sell a bloke who whilst isn’t a world beater clearly has had a good first season and scored goals? Who they paid 400k for themselves to a league 1 rival?

Doesn’t make sense to me

I can’t see this even happening posh are already playing games knowing we’ve taken a reported 3m for players in last 2 months by saying 500k is not enough

I think he wants out. They have Eisa and Toney ahead of him and he wants first team football at the age of 28.

They are struggling with FFP allegedly.

I don’t think it’ll happen either but I’d be very surprised if we brought in better.

Terry Bly and George Hudson both record fees at the time £10k and £21k respectively, if we found a centre forward half as good as Hudson we’d walk the league

They have just signed Mo Eisa for a club record fee and him and Ivan Toney have played up front together all pre-season and again at the weekend. Matt Godden is effectively the back-up cover for these two, but according to Barry Fry he has responded back that at his age he wants to be playing first team football. Godden is sounding like a player who is about to hand in a transfer request. I personally think a player who scored 18 goals last season in League One has proven he can score goals at this level. SIGN HIM UP!!!!!!!

Even if it isn’t true they are always selling players it’s a huge turnover if staff every year

Amazing turnover they have. Posh have this knack of making a good profit from players every season and keeping a strong squad. They find some tea gems and sell on for a big fee.

Grendel is right. They spend and bring a lot in, but also sell and turf a lot out. Consistent churning process.

The chairman has said a few times one aspect of his business model is to invest in strikers as they are where you can make the most profit. Said he never brings in loan strikers as he doesn't want to increase the value of other clubs players.

That is the model at this level. We are actually not that dissimilar

It's a model that makes them a lot of money, but when was the last time they made the play-offs despite being consistently tipped for it every summer?
