    If we sign JCH will there be any chance he will partner May or will May still be stuck out on the wing. 
    Michael Appleton won't play two strikers, never has, and likely never will. 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 only it seems.

    Looks as though we're spunking our money elsewhere.

    If he's leaving the country, that could be agreed during this window. As far as I know, there's been no rumoured interest from clubs in other countries.

    Kyle Edwards had returned to Ipswich following his loan at Oxford due to injury. They were really impressed with him when he played. Believe he’s out of contract in the summer and is the perfect replacement for CBT.

    A player who I will watch out for in the future and hope we go in for him.

    Sheffield Wednesday getting Conor Coventry could apparently free up George Byers for a move. We should be all over that if it’s true

    Let’s not jump to conclusions regarding JCH just because someone has said something on a Peterborough forum. At least wait for something more official.

    Only played 5 games this season due to injury, sounds like someone we’d sign!

    I like us nearly signing a decent player.

    Fun fact:

    Made his senior debut in football against us for Watford when we lost 5-0 in January 2015, as we were waiting for a work permit for Guy Luzon to take us over. What a time that was as well!

    No senior striker again Saturday then, unless May recovers.

    (If true that JCH fancies playing abroad)

    Could Gillesphey step into a Dobbo like role if need be? Only mention it as been said he is good on the ball and obviously defensively sound.
    Hasn't even signed yet and looking to play him out of position... Are you Apples in disguise? ;-p

    As per my suspicions. I really do admire the unflinching optimism of some of you.

    I’m probably in the minority but I’m not too fussed if JCH doesn’t sign. I think he’s a bit like Kirk, DJ and Fraser to an extent in that he’s had a purple patch at one club and he’ll go elsewhere and be a flop, and an expensive flop at that. Add in that if we do pay 500k fee and 10k pw that he’s just coming here as his one last payday, look how that panned out for Taylor at Forest. Plus my lasting impression of him was the second leg of the play off semi finals at Sheffield Wednesday last season where he had a stinker and looked disinterested. The ball certainly never stuck up front.

    I think with 500k and 10k pw that money can be better spent. As said I know I’m in a minority and if he does sign I truely hope I’m proved wrong.

    He was the top scorer in our league last year... comparing him to Dayeling Jayesemi is a bit silly

    I suspect this might come down to how much he thinks Shef Wed will be in the championship next season and if he wants to stay closer to home.. Finances are in our advantage from what I have heard. 

    I understand we have moved for another left footed CB, I have no details on the identity of the player.. The gent from Plymouth isn't dead yet, but feels like the club won't be wait around! 
    According to reports our offer better then Sheff Wed .. and we are still front runners 
    The report was from @DubaiCAFC you 🍩 😂
    Yes but where us he getting his info about these transfers?

    Why do we always seem to get these intransigent managers! Surely it's a major weakness to be so stubborn?

    Bloke has scored consistently for multiple clubs in this division, not sure where you’ve got purple patch from.

    He’s had more than a purple patch (see stats below) but his next move is going to be the biggest contract of his career so I get the concerns. For a player not known for his work rate there’s a risk he’d be happy to take a big 3/4 year contract but no longer have the hunger to push himself, aim for promotion etc. This isn’t like May, a player known for non-stop running and no doubt keeping himself very fit.

    Can’t argue with JCHs scoring record, even includes a decent return in a Championship relegation season:

    Unfortunate news about Conor Coventry, but this isn't the first time we have done something like this, linked to some biggish names for our league and for it not to come to fruition. All well and good being linked but we have had that before. I understand of course he isn't Wednesdays player yet but it sounds like it may go that way.

    In regards to the bid to JCH, I think we bid for Ivan Toney before for in excess of 4 million, which we didn't actually have the cash to do? 

    Not accusing them of the same but we have had owners before that had us making noise and only to fall short. 

    Still optimistic of course though and will have no option other than to wait to see if we get the players in we so desperately need. 
    Don't think we bid at all. It was all a fairy tale made up by MacAnthony and his new mate Southall.
    Cawley tweeted yesterday we have had a bid accepted didnt he? Don’t think he gets his info from MacAnthony
    Fee is agreed, I was told by a good friend that JCH wanted 10k a week from Rovers in the summer, sp will be surprised if it happens based on our salary average tbh
    We have London tax as well, so if he wanted 10k at Bristol he probably wants more here to accommodate the higher living costs
    A very pertinent consideration @follett , rents, car insurance and housing costs will be at least double.
