In the words of Tim Vine "he's too good for you!" Welcome back Dave, I hope the stay will be as good for you as it will be for us! That of course means that at least one player from the main squad has to go, either on loan or for good. Jon Barden will be removed from our squad.

It might be handy if people gave an actual source for this kind of statement, when they make it?

Fantastic news . Welcome back David. Was only talking about you at lunchtime today learning how unhappy you were at Peterborough.

Jon Barden will be removed from our squad. It might be handy if people gave an actual source for this kind of statement, when they make it? Surely not. He is unable to play again this season so why not remove him from our squad.

Two quick points..
1. Yes, it's great to have David back, though we shouldn't expect him to recapture his best form for us straightaway. And he is only on loan until the end of this season.
2. I'd expect Luke Gambin to be released or loaned out to make space for David in the squad. Jon Barden almost certainly won't play again this season, so could be dropped from the squad, but I reckon Matt will want to bring in another right back as cover for Joe Kizzi.

Can it work like that? I don't know, maybe it can. Or would that be a case of making him unemployed due to injury? But my actual point was; when making an assertion of that nature (player is removed from squad) could the poster please give their source for that statement. It's not a big ask and takes it out of 'bloke said' territory. Or is Stewart just offering an opinion as to what will happen? No idea.

I do not know what the choice will be, but it is quite correct that any player ruled out for the season through injury can be omitted from the squad, but that player would still be contracted and paid - it’s only the league registration that is affected

It's probably not been done yet but its a reasonable assumption as you wouldn't normally name an injured player in your squad if they are unable to play again this season therefor allowing another player in.Its not detrimental to Jon in any way.It's just a way of making sure that all players in your squad are able to play. As it is i expect us to release others so releasing up places for more new signings.

Sorry I should have said, possibly removed from the squad.

David Ajiboye on transfer list at Posh? Well I never, who’d have guessed it 🤔

First of all, great news that David is back.
This presumably may have implications for Josh, Luke or both?
Priority (in my view) remains bringing in a proven striker - if possible.
As Andy stated in another thread, unless injured, Charley and Kwame appear to be so far down the pecking order, it wouldn't appear to be of benefit to either of them to remain at the club.
If we do bring another striker in, Matt may want to send Tope and/or Kylian out on loan to get more game time.
While a loan signing until the end of the season to cover right back during Jon Barden's absence would be nice, Matt appears content to utilise Enzio at full back when required. Enzio's opportunities to play regularly on the wing are also likely to be reduced following David's return.
When Adam has fully recovered from concussion, might be worth considering loaning him back to Dartford now that Ali and Harry are both fit (with recall option if we incur further injuries/suspensions).
Don't know why I have written any of the above as Matt will do the right things for the squad - as he always does.

Good News about DA, although he is not going to change things by himself and he will need to recapture his form, it's not as if he was an out right goal scorer anyway.
We need to get a striker in that Matt is confident to bring on, as 2 of his signings in that position have barely had a sniff, despite our issues in that area.
Not easy though when you don't have lots of cash to spend. I still think Tope gets onto the end of things but perhaps Matt thinks he needs some loan time first..

Easy to tell the football manager players from those who aren't. Squad registration has no impact on contracts. I expect to see gambin, Thomas and Kendall leaving and one or two more arrivals. A full back and a striker would make sense but the chances or finding a striker for free who will improve our squad seems remote. I would expect ajiboyes wage will be paid in full by us so two might have to make way for one.
Ajiboyes return and kizzi returning to rb means we have some much more exciting impact options. I feel one of the reasons for so many late goals conceded is a lack of impact from the bench. However, I do wonder how Matt will accommodate all our wingers. I've said it before but I'd love to see will Randall in the hole behind the striker in a 433

I've said it before but I'd love to see will Randall in the hole behind the striker in a 433 If Peterborough have sighed too many wingers and he has been playing for their academy then the chance to get him league 2 game time and out on the stage again will prove valuable to Peterborough, particularly if they still owe us payments for his transfer and he hits form again, So we may well be getting him without having to cover wages. Though I agree that getting a striker won't be easy unless we manage a favour loan from someone. Otherwise we will bring in similar pedigree as we have. Though perhaps it can also be a chemistry thing.
