Boss Mick McCarthy has reiterated that he is looking for defensive cover during the transfer window, but has played down adding to his striking options.
"The defence is where I need cover,” he said. "I’ve got five defenders, they’ve been remarkable - Cressy, Chambo going and playing at right-back has been different class, and Christophe and Tommy in the middle.
"Those four have been in most of the games and Tyrone Mings is our cover for left-back, right-back and centre-back. He’s great.”
On Thursday, Peterborough director of football Barry Fry said McCarthy had made an enquiry regarding former loan striker Tyrone Barnett prior to his move to Bristol City, but McCarthy says he’s not in need of additional frontmen with Daryl Murphy only sidelined briefly with a thigh problem.
"Not really because Murph will be fit next week, he’ll be training on Monday, which means I’ll have four strikers, Tayls, Frank, Dids and Murph. I won’t be getting any loans in to cover for them.”
Regarding Barnett, he added: "He’s gone to Bristol City. Hypothetical chats on anybody are not really worth my voice.”
Elliott Hewitt and Jack Marriott recently joined Gillingham on loan and Freddie Veseli Bury, but McCarthy, who says there have been no enquiries or interest in any of his players, doesn’t expect many similar moves: "There won’t be anybody else going out on loan.
"We spoke about Anthony Wordsworth going out on loan and that may be a possibility because he wants to play games but he’s got tonsillitis at the minute, he was really ill after the game last week. That’s a possibility, but I’d only do that if I could get somebody else in.”
