    Funny enough I was thinking about this yesterday, Peterborough make a big thing about all the players they bring through and yes I’m sure we can real off stacks but how many have left and really gone onto show that promise elsewhere? Other than Toney I’m struggling to name many.

    Craig Mackail-Smith was very good for Brighton, but the hit rate isn't brilliant. Sammie Szmodics too at Blackburn and now Ipswich.

    Left Rotherham by mutual consent after 12 months.

    Massive bullet dodged on this one, double it with Ladapo only being a loan in the same window.
    I reckon Jones would have got a tune out of him

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing, easy to say how something has panned out after it has already happened. 

    Timing is everything in football, sometimes the move isn't right, or you just don't suit a teams style. 

    Undeniably a top striker at League 1 level though, numbers speak for themselves, even on a bad season this season he still managed 7 goals and an assist in 29 appearances, also didn't shame himself when he had a crack at the Championship in his prime, was wanted by Sheffield United and Birmingham City for good reason. 

    I reckon if we signed him before he went to Bristol Rovers when he was originally linked he would have done really well here.

    Worth a contract to a newly promoted league 1 side at the very least.

    Wasn’t he previously linked with a move to Mexico or somewhere?

    Yeah that was last season which always seemed very bizarre.

    How have they got Wilkes out of Yorkshire?

    Won't last , he'll sign for Bradford on loan in January or something.

    Couldn’t agree with you more. It’s a lesson that even the moves you think would obviously be successful, or worth pushing the boat out for, aren’t guaranteed to work.
