    Narrowly missed out on Ched Evans.

    Wish Preston would offer him a ten year deal so his name never crops up ever again.

    Used to know a Bristol Rovers fan. Waxed lyrical over Chris Lines but think he was about 31/32 then.

    Agree but he was also a snake. He told the club he was in no rush on numerous occasions....had no intention of signing one but indicated he was going too. Norwich were sniffing around with a bid in January but he wanted his free transfer signing on fee.

    James Meredith tried to leave every Summer since we signed him.

    He had no loyalty, and fair enough IMO.

    Climbed his way up from non league, wanted to keep climbing.

    I'm not sure it was snakey. He would've signed if we had gone up and we must've been banking on that happening.
    The fact it was Millwall did leave a bit of a bad taste tho at the time

    Posh fan survey in the local paper asking who they should sign in the window and Reece is number 1.
    Couple this with DM mentioning on his podcast they were monitoring a promising 19yr old defender in league 2 I’m putting 2 and 2 together.
    With everything going on probably wouldn’t expect a bid until the summer though

    O'Donnell out for 12 weeks. Means we'll need another keeper, even if its just for experienced backup to Hornby

    I'd be keeping my eye in Doyle's loan at Kilmarnock suddenly coming to an end. Hasn't played for them yet and I'm sure his wife will be posting photos of him in his city training gear upon this news.

    How would Peterborough fans know even the slightest thing about Staunton?

    That's not in the least bit true. He openly said he needed championship football to force his was into the Australia world cup squad. If we'd have gone up instead of Millwall he'd have happily stayed.

    I'm not sure how we can blame him for showing ambition.

    He was a brilliant player for us though and always gave 100% on the pitch.

    Some people just don't understand ambition, unsurprisingly when it's City fans. He gave his all and honoured his contract there's nothing more you can ask of a player that isn't a lifetime fan too.

    We've had no one in that position anywhere near his talent since he left

    His loan from Hearts was until January so you may be correct.

    Totally agree with both.

    Did absolutely everything we asked of him, and very well indeed.

    When his contract expired, he left.

    Parky and Meredith were both professionals who left Bradford City when their ambitions no longer aligned with what the club had to offer - strange that they would get criticism on a forum where some posters want jokers like Ched and Steve Evans.
