The biggest transfer of the summer so far must be the capture of Bristol City striker Mo Eisa by Peterborough United.

They’ve shelled out a club-record fee for the forward, despite him having only played five matches for the Robins last season.

He’s previously been prolific with Greenwich Borough, as well as Cheltenham Town in League Two. It was his form for Cheltenham that earned him the Championship move, although that hasn’t gone well.

Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony looked like the cat that got the cream as he unveiled the striker, joking that he’s going to score ’30 goals’ and would be a big hit. Fans have pointed to the success of Dwight Gayle, Britt Assombalonga and Jack Marriott as proof that Eisa will be a success.

For every Dwight Gayle, there is a Ricky Miller. For every Britt Assombalonga, there is a Jason Cummings. Posh fans might focus on the success stories, but with such a high rate of players coming in and out, a hit is almost as inevitable as a miss.

Eisa must be feeling the pressure. He looked at ease on the video, perhaps a bit uncomfortable with the superlatives being laid at his feet, but still happy to be making the move. However, the pressure is on him now to deliver.

He had none of that at Cheltenham, creeping out of the non-league scene as a player who ‘might’ have a decent season. He exceeded all expectations, but with a big money move comes big pressure.

At Bristol City it wasn’t as intense. He was always signed as a slow-burner, one for the future. The fact he didn’t break through wasn’t the worst thing to happen to the club; they survived and bigger name players did the business. Eisa didn’t impress but he wasn’t an out and out flop.

Peterborough is different. They’re pinning all their hopes on a player who has never scored outside the bottom division. They’re acting as though they’ve signed a top striker from a big club, whereas what they’ve actually signed is promise and a heavily built up striker with a lot to prove.

Mo Eisa might not be feeling the pressure right now, but just a game or two without a goal and it’ll begin to show. Just ask Ricky Miller.
