Transfer targets

Calvin Ramsay will not be coming to Peterborough United

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Liverpool is saying, and nobody at Peterborough United is enjoying the guessing.

Transfer targets

Peterborough United make their move for Akeel Higgins

$250.0K on the table at West Bromwich Albion. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Pemi Aderoju signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Pemi Aderoju commits to Peterborough United for another 4 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Peterborough United

Chris Conn-Clarke and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Still no ink between Peterborough United and Harry Leonard

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Peterborough United, another week without a signature from Harry Leonard.

The dugout

Declan Frith gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

Harry Leonard knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Harry Leonard trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

48 months and counting on Cian Hayes

Still no offer on the table, and Cian Hayes’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad

Harry Leonard wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Peterborough United have no good answer.

Squad

Tempers go at Peterborough United

Harry Leonard was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Liam Kelly signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Liam Kelly commits to Peterborough United for another 3 years.

Transfer targets

Peterborough United ask about Calvin Ramsay

A loan enquiry to Liverpool: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Jayden Danns is in the works

Peterborough United have made the call to Liverpool. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

Rio Adébísí falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Jacob Mendy is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Peterborough United has been clear about where Jacob Mendy stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout

Harry Leonard asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Josh Feeney remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Peterborough United would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

Market

Peterborough United and Tom Lees are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
