Darren Ferguson confirms that Archie Collins has turned down the latest contract offer from #pufc Collins will be placed on the transfer list but remains available for selection Ferguson says he’s sceptical that a club will meet their valuation More on BBC Cambs Sport shortly

Have to get a proven LG1 midfielder to replace him or it looks like a LG2 squad. Only top end player we have left from the play off squad. Replaced them with shit. Dont have a goalscorer, might end up with a weak midfield and our two main defensive signings are injured. #pufc

And that’s it. The last top quality player we had gone in 18 months. Hard to remember seeing a superb team at any level dismantled this ruthlessly in such a short space of time. Take me back to Pride Park in 2024 please.

Benoit Stevenson BBC Cambs Sport At least he’s turned down the offer early so we can make changes unlike the last 3 who ran their contracts down right until the last day, good luck and move on if that’s the case

Benoit Stevenson BBC Cambs Sport Surely we take below valuation rather than risk losing him for nothing? Time to actually learn from our mistakes, the squad already looks poor we don’t need players who don’t want to be here dragging others down

This happening is a huge blow, one of my favourite players and in around 15 months we’ve lost every player from that starting 11 against oxford. I trust us to replace well but I can’t help but admit it’s looking bleak. I place trust as always in the recruitment. #pufc

Wow. What a way to ruin a successful relationship. If you didn’t want to stay, why not tell the club 2 months ago?

Benoit Stevenson BBC Cambs Sport Not fussed in the slightest about this, Would be very surprised if he reached the Champ

I can’t blame him in the slightest, but that is us even more fucked then we already were. Wont sign anyone near the quality he has and what we have here to replace him with is diabolical #pufc

Absolutely gutted on Archie’s decision! 😢 #pufc

Not the news I wanted to see a couple of days away from home to Luton! All the best for the future Archie Collins #pufc

Good player is Archie and wish him all the best. Let’s not forget, he played his part in a 18th place finish in league one last season. Players come and go, move on #pufc

Get Charlie Lee out of retirement #pufc

I think deep down we all knew this was coming. I’m not even sure it’s because he’s unhappy here, I think he knows he’s about to reach his peak years and wants to be playing higher up in all honesty which I can’t blame him for, especially given where we’re at right now #pufc

Not really a shock, the more the week went on, the more it looked likely that Archie would turn down the deal. Can’t blame him either really, clearly sees us in decline, while he can better himself elsewhere during this peak years. Gutting all the same though #pufc

Declan Frith was absent from the match day squad today due to an ankle injury. I understand he expects to be out for 1 - 2 weeks. #pufc

Just spoken with Darren Ferguson. He says #pufc will be ruthless in the transfer market. Will be increasing bids for players they’ve been chasing. Tom Lees could still sign. Working on a fitness issue. CJ and Brad are fit for Wigan but too soon for Frith. BBC Cambs Sport
