‘He’ knows as much as you and I! Then again, he probably doesn’t know we have a 40 page thread of speculation, so we have the upper hand!

ITS.A.FAKE.ACCOUNT.

 

[CovisGod]

Bullshit account.

I guessed as much

Apparently we have ended our interest in him. What a waste of 40 pages...

Where's that been said?

Sky Blues development on Pompey target and that Rose rumour

[vow]

Toby fayre, where the fuck has it been said we were interested in him?
Apart from rumours.

 

[Nick]

RIP Thread.

If Chaplin really wanted to come here, he'd force the hand of Pompey. I'm not convinced he really wanted to move to be honest.

Oh well, trust in MR to get someone else in.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Are people still going to pretend that selling McNulty without having a replacement lined up was a good thing? What an awful recruitment strategy

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

If he’s pulled the plug then I’d imagine someone is on their way imminently.

 

[Gibbo]

I reckon if he forces a move he will not get a payout from his pompey contract. If they choose to sell he gets paid

ah ha, good thought

 

[Liquid Gold]

If we've moved on and Chaplin is stuck on the bench for Portsmouth all season then he's an idiot for not trying to force the move.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Should have moved on a week or two ago and see if it forced their hand we have been dictated to by Portsmouth

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

This whole pulling the plug thing is an attempt to force Portsmouth's hand. Like a second-hand car salesman saying he's got other interested people coming in an hour.

We did have a replacement lined up, we just couldn't sign him.

Don’t worry, according to lots on here we’ve got hundreds of thousands of pounds to spend because Robins said “we don’t have millions to spend”...

It’s worrying. We really need a striker in now. Happy with Robins recruitment with the rest of the squad mind and at least (according to Turner’s article today) he’s realised a week or so before the deadline that Chaplin isn’t going to happen. Mogga would of had us holding out until ten minutes before the deadline.

Heard Pavlyuchenko struggled to get his fitness up so Robins is no longer looking into that.

According to the Pompey side we had offered £400k for Chaplin so that indicates we do have hundreds of thousands to spend

It is always great when people talk shite and just make things up to cover it. What was actually said was when you said he has nothing to spend (as in £0) it was pointed out what Robins actually said.

I'm not too sure the Chaplin thing is over just yet, this might be the "bluff" approach to see if Pompey shit themselves.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Well that's not good enough. We shouldn't have sold the man responsible for 40% of our goals last season if we didn't have a sure thing on to replace him.

Even though his agent indicated he wasn't going to want to play for us. Ok

I hope we sign Chaplin, if we don’t, do you see us spending any money (not including nominal fees etc) on any alternative players?

 

[Liquid Gold]

When does a signing need to be completed to be eligible to play Saturday?

Tough, if he didn't want to play for us he shouldn't have signed a contract.

You're late to the funeral...

Portsmouth are playing a dangerous game here. £400k for a player who doesn’t start and is out of contract at the end of this year is a very fair deal. If the player doesn’t get first team football, by January his value will half. It also seem Portsmouth are dependent on any fee for a replacement too, which makes this scenario even more stupid on their part.

The same thing could’ve happened to us had we decided to keep McNulty here against his wishes. It’s generally a good idea to sell a player at the peak of their value, Portsmouth are risking losing it all with Chaplin. So I’m glad Robins is putting his foot down, one way or the other.

 

[Gibbo]

That is utterly naive

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Looks like Robins has done his best Mowbray impression here.

Let's hope he has some other irons in the fire and can redeem it all.

I don't care if they spend a million or get somebody on a free or a loan as long as it is the right player who fits with how Robins wants to play which means we win more games
