We’ve worked out the top 25 based on profit from transfers, longevity and how much Posh success they enjoyed.
Some big names have missed out altogether. No current players were considered, apart from one who was a roaring succes first time around.
Let us know what you think. Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony and co-owner Dr Jason Neale have offered their opinion on who represented the best value.
Here’s our list, delivered naturally in reverse order...
25. 1st: CRAIG MACKAIL-SMITH
Cost: £125k. Sold for £2.5 million. Mackail-Smith ticks every box for this list. He was cheap when arriving from Degenham & Redbridge in January, 2007, he played many matches (233), he made a great contribution (104 goals) and he was part of successful sides (three promotion-winning teams) before earning a move (to Brighton) for a huge profit (20 times the original fee). He has to respresent the best value of any Posh signing, surely?
