Town boss Paul Hurst says it’s news to him that the Blues have had an offer for winger Gwion Edwards accepted but hopes that that is the case.
Asked about the story, which broke last night, Hurst responded: "Have we? That’s news to me!”
Quizzed on whether Edwards, 25, is a player he’s interested in, he added: "I like the player, that bit’s news to me. Hopefully, you’re right.”
It’s believed the Blues and Posh have agreed a fee of £700,000 with the former Wales U21 international’s previous club Crawley set to receive a six-figure sell-on windfall. It's likely the Town-Posh deal includes further top-ups and also a sell-on clause.
Questioned about Blackpool central defender Curtis Tilt, for whom the Blues are understood to have made a £550,000 offer, he added: "I think we can roll the list on and on and on. I want a centre-back. I don’t know whether Curtis will be the one or not.
"And also I think what we have to appreciate is whether clubs want to sell, the prices they’re going to cost.
"That all has to come into the equation because we can all be a manager standing there saying we want this player or that player.
"But those players are good players, they’re probably the type of calibre I’m looking for.”
Would he have wanted more signings before now and more with a Championship pedigree? "Championship experience doesn’t bother me, doesn’t faze me. We’ve had success elsewhere. I just want good players. I think I’ve said in the past that they can come from Mars if they’re good players. That’s what I’m interested in.
"Would I have liked more? Yes, as I said in my first press conference, I’d have wished we’d got the squad all together on the day we arrived back, but we all know that was never going to be the case. But we would like them in sooner rather than later.”
He says Adam Webster’s exit to Bristol City for an initial fee of £3.5 million has given him more freedom in the transfer market than he might otherwise have had.
"Yes, there’s no doubt that helps,” he said. "Any funds that come in are clearly going to be utilised to try and strengthen the squad again.
"Him leaving, we already said we needed a centre-back, we probably need two now. Jordan Spence played there in the first half today. It’s not foreign to him, he’s played it before but I think we’d all agree his number one position is as a full-back, which he went to in the second half.
"And the only other recognised centre-half we’ve got at the minute is Luke Woolfenden, a very young player. I think the potential is there, but is he ready for Championship football? I think that’s a big, big ask.”
