Championship side Coventry are chasing Peterborough duo Aaron McLean and Craig Mackail-Smith. Coventry got in touch with Peterborough chief Barry Fry last weekend after Coventry beat the Posh 3-2 at the Ricoh Arena. Fry confirmed that Coventry had already had bids turned down for the pair but told them that he didn’t think they have enough money to sign either of them.
Fry told the Peterborough Evening Telegraph: “Coventry told me straight after our game there on Saturday they wanted to sign Aaron and Craig in January so I told them our asking price,”
“They are going to discuss it at a board meeting and get back to me but believe me there isn’t enough money in Coventry to get either of them. We are not interested in selling Craig anyway. If we were we would be more likely to sell him to a Premier League club because there has been a bit of interest.
“But our chairman is keen to keep as much of the squad together as possible because even if we suffered the misfortune of relegation we would have a strong team for a League One campaign.”
Striker Aaron McLean is on the transfer list as he has recently revealed that the hes unhappy at the club due to Posh’s bottom place position in the Championship.
