Doesn't look good for this Transfer window, Yanks will sell this season's stars for peanuts by looks of it and by reducing the fee they want for Benda which makes us look desperate, sends a message that we are looking for cheap replacements, Fry hasn't done us any favours clubs could well be looking for more money for the players we are looking at.

I can't play Poker but these Yanks are looking like they are worse ffs.

I think a lot of fans are going to feel disappointed this transfer window.

Come on 1mill for Benda! We made ourselves look daft, even 500k is taking the pìss, Winter is turning us into a laughing stock

Nothing quite says reliable source more than Barry Fry...

I'd take Benda over Fisher every day of the week, still scratching my head over the fact we paid 400k for him.

He certainly deserved more time, he made a few mistakes when one shot went underneath him but Fisher has made way more blunders, fortunately for Fisher they didn't end up as goals

Agreed. I have no doubt we quoted a price then subsequently reduced it when Peterborough wouldn't pay it, that's presumably pretty common in negotiations. No guarantee Fry's figures are true though.

Isn't there some historic bad blood between the Swans and Peterborough/Fry over a transfer years ago? I may be misremembering because a quick Google search isn't showing anything.

Fry as always been a contentious twat, if he's got somin to get his teeth into he goes for it, he's to street wise for Winter and the Yanks.

He’ll be going elsewhere Peterborough have signed 2 keepers on loan, their chairman says it’s silly spending money on a goalkeeper in L1 or L2.
