Siriki Dembele

No news. Hope I'm wrong but I think he's going to see his contract out. He can sign for Celtic or Rangers in three months on a free transfer.

That'd be just our luck!

If Peterborough get £4.51m for him, that’s Fenty paid off in full. Anything above that is money in the bank.

Can only imagine he’ll be sold today going on what MacAnthony said last week about their transfer business this summer being done on the basis of Dembele being sold & any fee already now having been spent.

Don’t think they’re short of a few quid but given their model, I just can’t see how they’d let him walk for nothing. Not to say it won’t happen of course, plenty stranger things have happened than that. Let’s just hope Sheff Utd lose their minds after netting £24m for Ramsdale.

Feels like posturing to push his price up, maybe...

Letting him run his contract down is totally against the Peterborough business model and I bet Barry Fry gets a commission on every sale too.

What is the loan? I thought it was about £1.5m. We have received £250k for Pollock and £160k for Grist so still have £1.1m to repay. Isn't the Dembele sell-on 20% of profit? He was sold for £100k so £5.6m would mean he's paid off.

It probably is profit and he was sold for £300k I think. Unfortunately, Peterborough can't do anything if the player chooses to let his contract run down. Isn't his brother at Celtic? Would be easy to have a word in his ear.

Pretty sure it’s 25% on anything over £150k. Honest Phil Day confirmed £25% on Humberside, and Fry says £150k in this interview - https://footballleagueworld.co.....s-fulham-are-linked/

Potentially even less if Fenty pocketed the £100k we got when Peterborough were promoted? In which case it’d be a touch over £4.11m to freedom.

In other news, Celtic sell Edourd to Palace for £19m. He’ll need replacing.

I forgot that we got the extra £100k this summer. I do think if he refused to move, Peterborough would be very vocal about how they accepted a bid from someone and he decided not to leave.

Can't see how he can be forced out with a few months before pre contract terms can be agreed. Might be on 10k a week if he moves now but holding on 3 months could see 20k a week and a tidy signing on fee. No brainer for the player. Only risk is picking up an injury before December.

Echo what others have said, sooner the parasite is paid off the better. I would rather him be gone out the club forever. Then we can concentrate on footballing matters, on a positive I don't think Stockwood or Pettit thought they would be getting some huge transfer revenue for players when they first took over so it should be a bonus.

Peterborough have a brilliant and sustainable business model where they usually buy low and sell high. I don't think they will let his contract run down and risk giving them away for free, even if it's a slightly smaller fee than those reported it's still money to us. Let's hope it will be a bidding war today!
