Gustavo Nunes: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Peterborough United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Peterborough United turn down Birmingham for Cian Hayes
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Graduation day at Peterborough United
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Wolverhampton tell Peterborough United: Benjamin Jones is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

One of their own: Gustavo Nunes
He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Declan Frith was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

One of our own: Peter Simmons joins the Peterborough United first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Peter Simmons is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Charles Palmer steps up from the Peterborough United academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Charles Palmer has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Peterborough United promote Jonathan Walker from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jonathan Walker has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
