Posh are set to unveil their latest new signing - Wycombe's Argentinian winger Sergio Torres.
What do you think of the signing? Have you seen Torres play?
Is he the type of player Posh Need? Comment below.


11.45am update: The 24 year-old will complete a move from League Two side Wycombe when the Posh squad return from their summer training camp in Marbella on Monday.

It's understood Posh have paid in excess of £100,000 for Torres who was a virtual ever-present in Wycombe's push to the League Two play-offs last season.

Posh manager Darren Ferguson was delighted to capture a man he's been tracking for some time.

Ferguson said: "It's a great signing for us. Sergio is an exciting player who is sure to be a fans' favourite.

"He has pace and skill, but he also has great versatility as he's decent down the middle as well.

"We've done well to get to him and fair play to the chairman for backing me again. We've had to pay Wycombe a fair bit of money."

Torres is the second summer signing Posh have made from Wycombe. They have also taken right-back Russell Martin from Adams Park.

Torres was born in Mar Del Plata, Argentina and played for his local club for two seasons before deciding to pursue a career in England.

He funded his own trip to the UK in 2004, but failed to impress Brighton in a two-week trial so he signed for Basingstoke Town.

Wycombe signed him after he impressed in a pre-season friendly and, after a slow start, Torres became a key member of the squad.

He finally put injury problems behind him to play a starring role in Wycombe's last campaign.

He's average at best. Maybe they meant to sign Fernando Torres and got him instead? He will do okay and was a solid player for Wycombe but may struggle in League 1. How much do you think he cost?

The Wycombe fans are gutted, due to the fact fry said substantial I'll guess we paid over the odds bout 200k.

Very true Bucks, just spoke to my mate who's a season ticket holder at Wycombe. He said he'd heard they were going to get 500k but it appears your 200k is about spot on. All he said was he will do you a job but may get found out by some of the quicker players.

I'm happy with this, Its a very positive move. I just hope we didnt pay over the odds like we did with benchwarmer Hatch.

Sergio Torres eh? I know a lad who's a Wycombe fan and worships the ground Torres falls over on 50 times a game.
Besides the fact that he's like Bambi on ice and doesn't pass, can't run and isn't brilliant with his head then he is a top signing.

I've heard some good things about Torres, for Wycombe and teams that they played against last season, including us. Less of the negativity just now, let the bloke at least put the shirt on and give him some time to settle before we judge how well he'll do. I trust fergies judgement
