Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has not ruled out making more signings before the summer transfer window closes on September 1. The club has already secured eight new players since the end of last season, including Liam Kelly, Ethan Williams, and Vernon Masara. MacAnthony, speaking on his Hard Truth podcast, suggested a new defender and striker to support Harry Leonard could be on the radar. The need to offload transfer-listed players remains a hurdle, as Sam Hughes' injury setback leaves central defense understaffed for the Mansfield Town clash. David Okagbue's one-match suspension further complicates matters. The club was linked with AFC Fylde's Danny Ormerod earlier this week. MacAnthony emphasized that the manager never requests signings, relying instead on the existing squad. He highlighted the recruitment process, noting Liam Kelly's three-year deal, an unusual move for a player of his age, but one that worked for Mark Beevers. The chairman praised recent signings like Ethan Williams, Vernon Masara, Evan Weir, Owura Edwards, and Collin Andeng Ndi, calling them 'good business.' Tom O’Connor and Harrison Jones were also lauded for their pre-season performances.
