They have to pay them and give signon fees. We don’t have that sort of money to invest, even if there is a chance of profit

We have one better, if the academy can produce the like of cod, baptiste, Jones, Stevens, spasov then we can also sell for big money with no out lay, same with bringing in players like whyte, branagan and sykes. The one position ur not as likely to find that gem in though is striker, where we might just have to load the budget in that area
 
Peterborough are starting to P**s me off. Every May/June they seem to be like a kid in a sweet shop and hoover up loads of signings. If we’re totally honest, none of us would be disappointed with the signings they’re making if it was us making them. I’m not sure how they manage to keep financing all their business.

With board members prepared to invest in the club, rather than treating it as a toy??
 
Still in league 1 though aren't they.

They go for a few big name signings and then skimp on the rest of the side a little bit, it’s a fair enough tactic but it explains why they never go up.

It’s a hard balance for the genuine league one clubs who can’t afford to just splash out the cash, do you balance out your spending through out the team or load up on better players and hope they can drag through the weaker ones.
 
5 in a match day squad so I think no more than that otherwise it’s pointless

Yes, touche; totally agree with that.

My point being; even with a settled XI whose registrations we own, we'd be very short-sighted not to beef up the squad with five extra Premier League Academy standard players who might feature at some point in nine months.

It is the modern way.
 
Have a sneaky suspicion it was Godden who refused to do the run so we pulled out of the signing.
 
Very quiet so far this summer on the transfer rumours front isn’t it!? In previous summers it’s seemed like we were being linked with players every other day on Twitter through people like Alan Nixon or Pete O’Rourke but I don’t think I’ve seen any this summer. A lot of these rumours come from agents putting out info to drum up interest but it looks like we have managed to keep things under wraps. It’s going to be very interesting to see our first couple of signings this year to get an idea of what kind of player we are going after. With a few weeks to go until preseason and Robbo wanting the squad sorted early I’d like to think we might see a new face or two in the coming week or so.
