Posh fans on January transfer window
Without smart business like this (EMC), we would be a L2 club at best with our attendances. Good luck to him and it’s a good deal to keep him to see the season out - @mattmecham
We kept the squad together, signed a good goalie twice and added a good winger. Kioso missing link, but Rotherham said no...@JessicaaAC.
The club with no ambition whatsoever. Yep, that’s something to be happy about - @festive_50
More from the fans
It’s been a fantastic window. Steer doing a U-turn was an unexpected boost. Let’s hope Burrows doesn’t get injured though as we don’t have any cover. Not convinced Mills is ready yet and although Crichlow did fine on Tuesday I wouldn’t fancy him having a run of games there -@derren_cooper
3.5 mill up front is an amazing deal plus we get him back for 5 months to help us towards the double, which if we achieve we will get even more money so win win - @Posh089
Posh fans have their say
Can't fault the EMC deal at all. Bringing in Steer and Olakigbe gives greater depth and both should start tomorrow, however hard not to feel we should've signed a pair of full backs. Dornelly and Mills could be about to enter sink or swim time very early in their careers - @DazMoody
I see this as good business. EMC is the best talent in League 1 by a country mile and we would have lost him in the summer anyway. The money will be substantial for the club and him also, I just hope he has the motivation to help us get promoted - @eddiedixon461
EMC update 2
Ephron Mason-Clark: "I am delighted to get the deal done. I really appreciate everyone behind the scenes who have made this possible.
"At Peterborough, both myself and the team are doing well. I can't wait for what the rest of the season will bring and then to get the ball rolling here as a Coventry City player. "It is going to be an honour to be a Sky Blue. I want to thank my family, for keeping me level headed, and the people at Coventry who have put in tireless hours to get this sorted. I also want to thank God, that my journey has led me here.
"But my job @theposh isn’t done. Back to work!"
EMC update 1
Coventry City manager Mark Robins: “We are delighted to agree the transfer of Ephron to Coventry City. He is a pacy and exciting forward, who plays off the left, and has a great attitude both on and off the pitch.
“We’re really pleased to bring Ephron to the Club and we’re sure that our fans will be too."
