Stansfield to be here by Friday 19:31 - Jan 1 with 9094 views | Mullet | Seems like our long pursuit of him will get forced through now Hirst has been confirmed. I reckon we will see him training here this week. Anyone else got any wild predictions on what might happen or who might join him as the reinforcements? Cauley Woodrow seems like a viable one looking at the list I posted the other day. | |

Stansfield to be here by Friday on 19:57 - Jan 1 with 6379 views | PrideOfTheEast | Woodrow seems an obvious one. Muniz at Fulham too. Think we’ll end up with 3x strikers - probably all loans. | | | |

Nah, just trying to have some fun and lighten the mood with some speculation innit Time to look forward and think about how good the march to the Prem will be. | |

Stansfield to be here by Friday on 20:01 - Jan 1 with 6276 views | _clive_baker_ | I’m surprised we’ve gone public with Hirst’s injury status tbh, what with us presumably in negotiations at the moment to sign a forward. Can’t help but feel it serves to weaken our negotiating position, but maybe we’re far enough down the line with 1 or 2 that we feel comfortable enough to disclose it? The sooner we can bring in a replacement the better, it would be nice to have a full week on the training ground before Sunderland but I’m not sure how likely that is. | | | |

In fairness I'm sure someone on Twitter would be disclosing it etc. | |

McKenna has been so candid about our need for attackers that, to be honest, I've sort of assumed we are very close on at least one. If the window proves tricky I wonder if we'd look at Sam Gallagher towards the end of it – always liked him, has a lot of Hirst's qualities, Blackburn deal expires in June, could do much worse for experienced cover. Only thing is he's coming back from injury himself but sounds like he should be match fit next month. | |

I've always liked him but assumed he was older for some reason - think he'd also get us scoring from set pieces again. | |

Devante Cole seems to be a named bounded about a bit. Very similar to Hirst stature wise. | | | |

Agree with you but that might back up a comment made to me at recent home game where I was told two players in negotiations were a significant way down the road , so maybe fee already agreed? | |

Stansfield to be here by Friday on 21:00 - Jan 1 with 5299 views | strikalite | Let us hope Stansfield deal is done.. We still need two more ideally, so, would you swap Ladapo right now for JCH? I probably would, he's a better finisher, far better at holding the ball up, physically stronger in and around the box, even as an impact sub when we need a goal with 20 minutes to go I'd back JCH over Ladapo I think.. Not in the posh squad today, they said he was injured, yet a few days ago he said he was fit and probably moving in January .. | | | |

He’s been decent at Barnsley, lacked any kind of decent support last season on the evidence of our 3-0 at the end of last season. Norwood was playing, but was too busy trying to wind people up to actually play football. | |

Could we re-route Downes' loan while we're at it? Rak Sakyi is returning, not sure if he'll get a look in at Palace. He was starting to get some minutes at the start of the season but out since start of Nov with hamstring injury. Would love that to happen still. | | | |

Wouldn’t surprise if we’ve asked again on Downes but think that’s passed, although just what we need. Think we’re going to see same number as last January in terms of incomings. | | | |

But as an incommg striker if you know Hirst is out for most of the season you'll be the starter whereas without the injury they'd probably be coming in as backup challenging Hirst to start. We then become a more attractive option for someone looking to start regularly | | | |

Was tongue in cheek, but he'd be perfect IMO and with the benefit of weakening Southampton. Must be someone knocking around in similar circumstances that we could tempt. | | | |

I would not want JCH anywhere near this town squad. He has the footballing ability, that’s not my issue. I’ve heard more than enough about his character to question whether he’d be a good fit in this group. I’ve also heard he still hangs around in some of the circles who used to run in when he was getting himself in trouble so I don’t think it’s worth the risk. Seems odd as well that he’s likely to leave Peterborough this window but the only side he’s been properly linked with was Bristol Rovers, that in itself rings alarm bells that Posh are seemingly happy to let him leave | | | |
