Peterborough Man Signs

29th October 2009

Lincoln City's attacking options have been boosted by the re-signing of Sergio Torres from Peterborough United.

Torres is a familiar name to Lincoln City supporters as the winger completed a month on loan at Sincil Bank ten days ago. The Imps were hopeful that they could extend his loan but their attempts to reach an agreement with Peterborough United failed.

At the time, Peterborough United's Director of football Barry Fry said: "Lincoln wanted to extend the loan deal but they weren't prepared to come up with the money to cover Sergio's wages."

Fry also stated that other clubs had enquired about Torres' availability with a view to a loan deal. At this point, it appeared that extending his loan at Lincoln was not going to be an option.

Since then, Lincoln drew 0-0 at home to Torquay United last Saturday in a game that Lincoln were lucky not to lose. The reason being was that apart from one effort on target from Stefan Oakes, The Imps were bereft of attacking options. It really was awful to watch, and Torres' absence was obvious compared to performances of the recent games that he played.

That said, Torres is no longer guaranteed a first team place as Lincoln have since signed Khano Smith on a short-term contract. It will be interesting to see if Sutton does differentiate or whether he selects the pair with one of them playing in a more central role in a five man midfield.
