Could be worth a contract on a free career seems to be going the wrong direction was on loan to Mansfield in league two but maybe robin's coaching could get him firing again?

Couldn't get in mansfields team and scored 3 in 19 games in 2 loan spells. 2 seasons in his career over 10 goals. 5 year deal surely.

Front line of Toney, Eisa and Maddison looks pretty potent (assuming they keep the first two)

And then they've got Godden on the bench, who hit 18 in his debut season last year.

Micah Richards released by Villa, not played for two years. Wonder if he fancies staying in the Midlands, I'm sure we could offer him fantastic wages.

Wouldn't even totally Base it on resale value, league one football, especially some of the wingers/strikers, has a habit of being very pacey. Not sure someone lacking match fitness/practice along with gained and natural timber would fit the bill.

Talking of natural timber (aside from the obvious Richard Wood joke) , I wouldn't mind seeing Omar Beckles in a Cov shirt

I wouldn’t want Whelan, bit too old. But his legs have hardly “gone”! His game’s never been about pace and he played 35 games in the Championship this year.

You would want to sign a player who hasn't played since October 2016??

I don't think he's really played much for a lot longer than that as well, less than 50 games in 7 years. He's finished

Carey who was previously linked with City is now interesting Burton Albion, who are in the race for his signature.

Considering they couldn’t match what we’re paying McFadzean I’d suggest they’re not really competition

I'd take Whelan in a heartbeat but he'll get better offers than us.

Not necessarily, they might want to pay less for some players so they can pay more for others.

Moral of the story is you can't judge a budget or squad until the transfer window closes.

Glen Whelan is the type of experienced player who could be the bed rock for any lower league club with promotion hopes. Haven’t followed his career so don’t know how he’s played lately but I think subject to fitness he could do a Michael Doyle for a year or two. Trouble is he might be fee free but would want a good and probably prohibitive wage.

It will work if you reverse Kelly and Whelan.

What about Beckham, he looked good last week against retired 50 year olds. Or the original Ronaldo. Is Pele still knocking about?

For that sort of player, we should have been in for Boateng who signed for MK dons.
Strong defensive midfielder

Kelly and Boateng would have been great together too! Deffo would have been the link with his old boss

What does that prove apart from that Peterborough have spent money?

That just because he's a 'league 2' player, teams see potential in him still even though he flopped in the champ

Peterborough spent a good six figure fee to get Matt Godden from Stevenage too last year. They do invest well each summer in players who they feel will take them to the next level and can make profit on if they perform

Soon it will click again and they achieve promotion to the championship
