Iles saying that the Randall deal is dead - which we sorta knew - but announced we offered over a million for him. Really?

There's a lot of talk about us not paying over our valuation for players and holding out for the right players at the right price, but I'm struggling to see where that valuation came from unless Randall's skills are deemed ideal for the new system.

We have bids in for Armstrong, Dembele and McAtee - and maybe others - and maybe we're just after any one of them rather than all of them?

Randall deal not completely dead (despite the info the club feed Iles).

They want him to sign a new contract, and prefer to sell him to someone other than a promotion rival. They are also keen to avoid a Clarke Harris situation where they lose him for nothing. 

It's unlikely to happen, since we won't wait around until the end of the window to find out in this case, but not dead!

Fully expect Armstrong and McAtee to happen next week.

My old man just mentioned some moaning old fart on the BN comments bit that's never happy about anything. Whitesince63 or something he said

Yup - pure speculation as like the rest of us I'm wondering what's going on.

You said you're struggling to see where the valuation comes from.

We don't know what the figure even is!

Moreover, its bleeding obvious where our valuation comes from- simply how much Evatt etc want him and what value to the team, and the overall budget, etc etc.

In other words our club will decide on what they value him at.

I've no opinion on him as a player but its interesting to read the Posh owner saying that they'll get some sell-on fees for Toney and Szmodics if they move this summer.  They could be relatively huge amounts and would surely make the difference between them being a "selling" club and being able to splash the cash.  Its never sat right with me that a player moving from say Brentford to Arsenal could change the fortunes of a L1 club.  But if he stays at Brentford for 1 more season, that club get nothing.  Another club will have made more money out of a far worse player than Toney, just because he happened to move on before his contract expired.  If I was the Posh owner I'd be phoning those 2 players every day persuading them to move!

It was "seven figures" according to Iles.

I suspect he means over a million rather than £11,147.69

Odd they should get a sell on fee for Szmodics as thought they would have got it when he left Coventry to go to Sporting and now it would be Cov that get it if he moves

Szmodics never played for Sporting or Coventry, Blackburn bought him from Posh

edit

Viktor Gyökeres you're thinking of

Less of the never happy stuff? 😁

Nobody in their right mind would bid over a million on Randel in his last year of his contract.......And likewise a bid over a million is not being turned down.

Calling Bollox on that

[Whitesince63]

Didn’t Posh pay £2m for him two years ago though and will no doubt want to get a good chunk of that back?

No they paid a million for him and he has been ok, but no better than that. In his last year of his contract they cannot expect to get anything like their money back

Exactly my point re the valuation.

But The Bolton News understands a seven-figure bid made for Peterborough United’s Joel Randall earlier this month has been turned down and that negotiations on that front have been ended.

Except no one knows what was offered. 

[paulhanley]

Was hoping we'd hear some news re McAtee today. That's the way things seemed to be drifting late last week.

Think Luton are waiting untill after their last preseason game 

[Steejay]

If Randall was any good, Posh would be offering him a new contract but that doesn’t seem to be happening.

500k tops or move on.

[DomRepWanderer]

Move on anyway that pikey twat must be near on impossible to negotiate with.

Quite probably. 

He may have more of an idea than others, but wouldn't put my house on it.
