You have some major issues.Hate to say it, but I don't think you need those last two apostrophes.

Don't we all?You have some major issues.
jeezus, my eyes.. ouch!For you wimps that lack stamina, just try reading the Pompey thread: Portsmouth Message Board |
Mucca Mad Boys I never said sign Collins instead of Mac whom I think was signed very early in May if I remember . I mean as well as Last season we nearly missed out on a place in the top six due to shortage of goals from our 2nd striker look at the table last season only Lincoln and ourselves failed to have at least 2 strikers in double figures .If Marc had stayed he would have been lucky to get half last years tally .That is my concern this season I think Ponti will be our main striker and second half of the season he will be tighter marked and Biamou and J C H are not go enough to fill the other spot only my opinion . As for Chaplin we should have moved on by now . Like I said what manager would let even their 2nd striker go now especially as any offer we make would not leave them much if any to spend on a replacement.
Naughty - but I like your style !Hopefully we don't sign him yet and we can keep this thread going to january
The piece you highlighted, there must be a long list of player we have paid money for in the past few years but cannot see it at the moment. As for creating chances something I have not looked up and I may be wrong but in the second half of the season goals came when we adopted a more attacking approach not 2 defensive midfielders.What are you basing that on?
The main issues we had was creating chances and scoring from positions.
Just.We got promoted last season. Job done.
There were no main issues
Just.
Yup. It doesn't preclude the free player being good, it doesn't stop a bad player being bought for lots if cash. But obviously the bigger the budget for a player you have, the more likely you end up with a better one.
Surely this is obvious?!? Where's the argument to be had?

That may well be the case but if you want your team to be successful you don't sell your best players and then replace them with players that might one day come good.Which was the initial plan anyway - bring in Fox, Dann, Gunnarsson, Cranie and Westwood - develop them, then sell
Every team barring Man City, Chelsea and United operate this way
We only won due to a flukey own goal.Like we "just" won the FA cup in injury time in 87 ?
MR did the job he was taken on to do
The budget was pushed to the limit signing 12 or so free agents, where was the money coming from for a £300k striker? If we signed Collins, it would’ve been unlikely we could’ve also signed McNulty and probably Andreu too.
The way you’re talking about not signing Collins is as if we live in a fantasy world where budgets don’t apply to us...
Am i missing something here...........?Sometimes it's better to invest in quality than quantity as for McNulty we had already done the deal, J C H and Biamou or Collins those 2 players wages would have paid for Collins and his wage probably

I doubt FFP is a problem in the Chaplin deal as McNulty going will take care of the fee and wagesYou mentioned ffp and I wonder if this is the obstacle regards signing Chaplin, we do seem to get one out then get one in now Stuart Beavon has gone maybe that allows another in. Beavon will have been on a decent contract too, one of the highest I would think.
We are lightweights. Sunderland got to over 100 pages on signing Eisa :smuggrin:Nick I think we may have broken a world record, 33 pages on a rumoured signing, yet even by page 33 no news whatsoever if he is going to at all.
Can you check please
We won't have a problem this season with FFP. I know we won't be spending a penny of the extra Maddison money but it will still be counted as football fortune income. And 60% of the reported 3m (1.8m) will be added to what can be used.I doubt FFP is a problem in the Chaplin deal as McNulty going will take care of the fee and wages
It's just a case of Portsmouth wanting a replacement before it's finalised
1 out 1 in is more to do with the wage bill. FFP would only come into it if you signed lots of players but couldn't get rid of any. Especially after our recent windfalls.But Robins has stated he would like three more in the door and I reckon they are linked, although Beavon was well down the pecking order first team wise wage wise he’d be pretty well a straight swop. I don’t know the rules of this ffp but it does seem one goes out then one comes in.

What an odd thing to say.Hello. Haven’t heard from you for a while
What an odd thing to say.
Let me quote you on some of your posts on SBT.
" What a strange person you are "
" Your a buffoon "
Some's you up nicely. :emoji_thinking: :emoji_zzz:
Literally just trolls other users and never posts anything constructive. But he backs up Nick when he picks a fight so he's untouchable.
