Peterborough actually just signed a pretty decent young box to box midfielder off Dundee, my pre-Phoenix team. They are looking an ambitious club keen for promotion that are reshaping their squad.
Him being discarded only means they don't rate him to do 40 games again to win promotion and through playoffs etc. Probably correct, but probably still a good League One defender, and hopefully also an ace A-League defender.
He was playing Premier League football only 2 seasons ago, played almost 200 games in the English top flight and he's only 32. Form is temporary and class is permanent of course, and despite a dodgy time at Portland, you'd think he would still be a top Championship defender but he probably know's his body wouldn't last one of their ridiculous seasons. A massive coupe for the Nix if we pull this off.
Interestingly he had Jake Gleeson organising his defensive efforts from goal, for his 9 games there at the Timbers.
