Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony says Town fans shouldn’t expect Posh midfielder Jack Taylor to join the Blues this summer.

Taylor is a long-term Town target having had multiple bids, the final one approaching £2 million, in January.

Earlier this month, Peterborough’s director of football Barry Fry said he expected the 24-year-old to move to a Championship club, naming the Blues as among the contenders.

However, asked on Twitter this evening when Town fans could anticipate Taylor joining the Blues, MacAnthony appeared to dampen down those expectations.

Briatol City have also been linked with the Irish U21 international, while we understand Middlesbrough and Millwall are also keen.

blues1 added 12:30 - Jun 20 Planetblue. Substantiate that for me. Taylor, who had an excellent season, vsr a few games, in lge1 v el mizouni had an excellent season in lge2 . Think I know ehos better prepared for the championship. Dont think Taylor would play week in week out, but would fully expect mckenna to improve him as a player, as he has so many players already, and so be ready for thr next season when/if Luongo leaves next year. At 22, has a lot of scope to improve.

wischip added 12:37 - Jun 20 That's right I don't think we expect it. I believe we have already moved on. I'd have serious reservations about a signing a midfielder from a team who let a 4-0 lead to Sheffield Wednesday get overturned.

barrystedmunds added 17:37 - Jun 20 MacAnthony and Fry are clearly Town groupies and have had a life long ambition to be one of us. Unfortunately, they had to settle for the little club down the road and have been angry and bitter over their lot ever since.

shakytown added 20:14 - Jun 20 We will be signing better than Taylor as we will want to improve our squad and he is not as good as what we already have. we will do our business quietly and quickly and there will be some real surprises incoming.
