One even felt inspired enough to write a short poem!

One who excites with flicks and tricks;

Like a milkman the president’s delivered

The cream of the crop - Sam Szmodics.

@TobyWoody

Very happy as I’ve said all along if we get Szmodics in, on top of what we already had, we will be champions. Bet now placed.

@lowestoftposh

Fantastic. Now we need to be top of the pile all season.

@Andyjimmyfisher

Awesome! Promotion in the bag.

@mothy2401

Posh have done well this summer to reinvest the Toney money and get the quality in under the salary cap. As an Ipswich fan, I’m not looking forward to our games v Posh (again).

You certainly can’t fault the ambition and desire from the owners. We now have a £3.5 million forward line, in league One! To justify that surely we need to be doing a Liverpool this season.

@steverodz

Hats off to Darragh and his co-owners who, even in uncertain economic times, have once again backed the manager in the transfer market. Losing Ivan Toney is a big blow, but I think Posh have a squad good enough for promotion. Now it’s over to Darren Ferguson to deliver.

@poshfanupnorth

Best squad on paper since we were relegated from the Championship, over to you Fergie.

@footydaz

Fantastic business and effort made by Darragh. This is a cherry on the cake signing to complete this squad. Pressure is now on Fergie to make sure they deliver on the expectation.

Absolutely buzzing, incredible signing on a 4 year deal shows real intent.

@Oliverharniess

Fantastic news that he’s back. I had my doubts when Portsmouth became interested. even more desperate to get back into the stadium now.

@poshcricketer

Never been so sure in 20 years of watching us that this is a top 2 squad. Down to Fergie now.

@poshforever2

Whether we go up or not, we’ll definitely be up there competing, that’s a very strong signing.

@DannyBoyMiller

Brilliant backing from the owners again! Now down to Ferguson to deliver our first league title since 1974.

@davidwh1971

Posh made my day. Great signing, really shows the club ambitions.
