Quoted from KingstonMariner
He's the only Town player who made me stand up, even when I was already stood at Accy last season.

Good luck to the lad. Can't stand all this Jilted John 'good riddance' stuff. Don't let your jealousy make you nasty boys.


Agree with this. In natural ability he was probably the best at the club by a street but he didn’t understand the demands of the game. So, early on he was playing for fun then it got serious during the bad run, his fitness was dodgy for a while too and he struggled. He obviously did not want another dose of that and wanted to play with better players. Another season here though and perhaps we could have had a real gem and been talking of a 7 figure sale in June 2019.

Yes it is good money and I’m pleased we did well from the deal and there is now some cash in the kitty, but as the advert says- there’s nagging doubt. What might have been for the sake of a few bob?

I think he could do well at Peterborough next season..

Would liked to have seen what Jolley could have got out of him..



I assume it was MJ that triggered the year extension to his contract. If that is the case then he must have thought he could achieve something with Dembele. All water under the bridge now so good luck to the lad and we got a nice tidy sum plus a sell on clause.

Let's just take the money and move on.
MJ is building a group who want to play for us. We don't want anybody who is not committed to the team.

From his interview in February, he clearly had his sights set on bigger things. The only reason the extension was triggered was to ensure we got a fee.

I'm sorry to see him go. He was by no means the finished article and had a lot to learn, but he was exciting to watch. I can't see him being at Peterboro for more than a year or so, and let's hope that we have a sell-on clause. Good luck to him, I wish him well.

Or he knew he wanted out and it was triggered so we could get a fee and not let him go for nothing.

I think this is a piece if business which can only be judged in time, and it will have been hard for the club to have put a value on him. Clearly has bags of raw potential, but equally there was a lot missing from his game last season.

The next three or four years will be interesting - for me he could go to the very top or into complete obscurity (and anywhere in between). A lot of it will come down to how much he wants it; Posh is probably the ideal club for him at this time.

I’m no great fan of Darragh MacAnthony or Barry Fry but their policy of taking a punt on talent from lower divisions is admirable and one I’d like to see us adopt more often. It’s served us well in the past with the likes of Pearson, McKeown, Hearn and Bogle.

Macauley Bonne of Leyton Orient looks interesting in that respect - may be a little on the pricey side for us however.

May be a good player with decent strikers and a promotion chasing team. In a relegation team he was not suited and did not understand his position too well for me but that can be coached.Clifton was way better in this regard and this , I guess, was why he was dropped. With the onus not so much on him he could be good. For me 50:50 could end up non league or championship, has the potential to go either way. Usually I am disappointed to see a good player go but I am truly indifferent about this one utm

There is one major difference between Clifton and Dembele, Harry would give everything to play for this club and wants to be here,don't need to say anymore,only best of luck for the future Dembele.
