Dont see why Peterborough dont just bide there time and see what happens with rider availability in the new year with the last two riders , there maybe someone who could change there mind and want to ride in the Uk that fits the jigsaw , ok it could be a gamble but it could be a gamble that has very good results.

nothing wrong with that once Ipswich have named their final 2

Could end up with a Swedish club closing down or other issues resulting in some form of rider availability, but there has to be a will to spend by the new owner regardless if any decent level riders do become available at the 11th hour

I can't imagine the planned team is cheap in the slightest

They are both after Worrall,,, so I doubt they will just let ipswich have him,,, just in the hope someone comes along eventually,,,,,

possibly not but if you are also going under the limit say you have 8+ left for a number 1 but opt for a rider on a lower average

If a higher average rider becomes available such as a Lindgren, Dudek etc. or just to play a long a Artem or Emil....... would there be a budget for that calibre of rider

no doubt Basso, Holder, Tungate and whoever else is more or less signed isn't cheap when comparable to other sides but i'm talking about if you hold out to see if a big rider comes available

I'm purely talking about maybe a no.1, if seems or sounds whoever doesn't get Worrall could end up with Batch, so good bargaining position to be in if you are Richie Worrall...

Someone is going to have to fold first on this one, maybe with Peterborough's new owner willing to spend more, they are in the better position to take a risk

I don't think Ipswich can afford to lose out on Worrall,,,,, cos once he has gone,, not many riders left to fill the void,,, and we could well be putting a team out 3 points under limit,,,,it seems like every season we struggle to finish our teams off decently,, they may be forced to get someone like Zagar and pay way over the odds

Not having a dig here but I think Ipswich are way more desperate than us to sign Richie Worrall to a point where Guy Nicholls would help fund a move if push comes to shove.

With Ipswich if they lost out on Richie Worrall then they'll probably have to go with both Hans Andersen & Troy Batchelor and they really can't afford that to happen.

Where's if Peterborough missed out we'd only end up with one of Hans Andersen or Troy Batchelor and personally I'd be happy with the latter option anyway.

 

As I've mentioned on the Ipswich thread the best deal for everyone involved is R. Worrall & Andersen to Ipswich with Batchelor at Panthers.

Why? Because Ipswich need a 3 & 4 pairing and Ipswich fans don't want Troy Batchelor and tbh the majority of Panthers fans don't want Hans Andersen and I say that with a heavy heart considering Hans is a club legend.

Both clubs would be 1 something under the limit but their would be room to make an early team change if things turn sour in the Cup fixtures once some EU riders make themselves available.

Luckily for Ipswich,, they probably have the biggest following of diehards,,, and they would still turn up if we were 10 points under the limit,,,, they would also think its a fantastic team,,, and everything is brilliant

I'd sooner  Peterborough let Ipswich have Worrall as his average was achieved mostly at reserve,  than pay over the odds to sign him,,    

The best scenario is a big hitting #1 becomes available and perhaps use Hans  , Tungate is ok at the showground but his away form is very patchy , it also pairs either Holder or NKI (if signed) to ride with Basso (if signed) and allows him to just improve further without any real pressure on him.

If its a $1 also Peterborough would be in a strong position to accommodate him as all other teams would need radical changes to fit him in .

You never know maybe someone like Dudek will lower his demands 

But its a gamble for sure.but could be

1, TBC 2 Hans 3 NKI , 4 Basso, 5 Holder, 6 B Cook , 7 Jenkins

I wouldn't mind Batch at no.2 for Ipswich

Richie Worrall actually won more races around Peterborough last season in three meetings than Andersen won all season.  

Worrall scored 9+1, 8+1 & 8+1 in those meetings. 

For me Andersen would be a very very lucky man if he gets a job in the premier League and a poor signing for panthers in what looks a strong side.
