Lots of Swindon fans don't even want Kabby. For Sparkes, he's very useful for L2 but hadn't really made the jump to L1 with all three fan bases saying as much. I'd definitely take him given where we are and he'd be more than useful assuming we're still in L2. I wouldn't read too much into Posh selling because it's what they do. They advertise their wares. They'll want their money back and will hold out given the length of contract. They know he won't make it there hence transfer listing but they certainly won't just cut their loses just yet.

Sorry that’s garbage, Sparkes is very much a league 1 player.

I would have Devon Tanton back in a heartbeat if he stayed fit. Class player and far better than Sheckleford who's very limited going forward.

He came with a good reputation but I'm not sure how you can have seen enough of him to rate him as a 'class player.'Decent pedigree no doubt, but no resilience whatsoever.

11 games is enough imho he looked quality in everyone destined for bigger and better things.

Each to their own but I thought he was nothing special at all.

Sparkes is a very decent left back to have in the squad, but Posh may push us away with their value of the player. There will be handy young players who don't get a deal in both Premier League and Championship clubs this summer, and if we're held to ransom by Peterborough we should walk away. Duffy can play all along the left side,so would any cash be better spent elsewhere, maybe on a young striker.
They can certainly keep Kabby, although, as I said previously, I wish him well for the future. A very promising career set back by a tackle not even deemed a foul.

The qualities of Duffy as left back are questionable. I've seen him cover there once and he was poor.

He's been in several defensive situations which haven't gone well eg Cheltenham away. Great natural talent though, that needs work. Very like Clucas.

I saw him very much in the Metcalfe mould - unfortunately Tanton was injury prone and Metcalfe pushed on.
