Midfielder Taylor will start his third season at Ipswich Town following a £1.5 million switch from Posh with just 11 Football League starts for The Tractor Boys to his name. At least they’ve dropped back into the Championship which you’d hope would give Taylor something of a chance to play more regularly in the 2025-26 season.
Centre-back Edwards has been at Southampton for one season during which he appeared in one Premier League game as a substitute. The Saints are also back in the Championship next season, but also under new management so Edwards might have to move on again to become a first choice player. He impressed at QPR when on loan last season.
Let’s hope that things don’t turn sour for the pair of ex-Posh players or for Kwame Poku and Emmanuel Fernandez who have moved on to bigger and better things this summer.
There was surprise when the following gifted players left Posh and failed to enhance their reputations…
