At some point Chaplin has to decide if he wants to go as well. I can't imagine that he will be happy to sit on the bench for another year again, if he wants to leave he needs to tell them and force it through.
Exactly.
We really can't have put all the eggs in that basket to wait until the last day for them to say "Sorry, not for sale HAHAHAHAHAHAA LOLZ".
If we have, the new recruitment guy should probably clear his desk and Robins would have some questions to answer.
It should be that we say "We will wait until Wednesday, let us know"
Tuesday comes and some random striker rumours get fed
Pompey will think "shit, they are going elsewhere here"
In the meantime Robins and the recruitment bloke are looking at a few different ones and speaking to their clubs to get a basic idea on what it would take for us to get them, Pompey either don't reply on Weds or piss about and by Thurs we go ahead with one of the other options.

Don't have any definite info but sometimes deals happen on the last or first day of a month for contractual reasons
Maybe we let them keep him then pick him up on a free next summer.
They'd need to offer him a contract on better terms than he's already on. If he just signs that then they're fucked.Would need compo anyway I think. (if they offer him a contract and he declines)
It has to really be today or tomorrow we tell them it's all or nothing and then walk away.
You would really like to think while this has been going on we have been looking at alternative options and getting them sorted so if he doesn't work out we can just go for plan B. It would be very naive of Robins and the new recruitment guy to put so must trust into Portsmouth.
Work under the bridge?Its probably already been pointed out somewhere on here but MR said this yesterday.
“Hopefully our patience will pay off.
“We have got something else in the pipeline that could come to fruition very, very quickly, so there is still a lot of work going on and still a lot of work to go under the bridge in the next few days.”
Sky Blues boss on striker stalemate and work on new signings
We don't need to sign the Troll. We already have enough to cover that positionWork under the bridge?
We are signing the Billy Goats Gruff?
Is Robins having a dig at the new recruitment guy in yesterday article?
Everything seemed to go smoothly last pre season with Widdrington, but with him saying ‘I keep on at the recruitment team’ suggests he might be getting a little frustrated?
I've heard we may be interested in this Conor Chaplin fella. Any truth in it? Anyone heard anything at all?
Quick smash and grab job under the radar perhaps?

What about impersonally?Never heard of him, personally
so many early deals. striker forces way out and replacement not being instant=bad recruitment team
cov fans lol
reading too much into itI'm not sure people are saying that (on here at least). The comment was that it seemed Robins was having a dig at the recruitment team.
reading too much into it
Too right - this whole mess is reading's fault in the first place.reading too much into it
Kenny Jackett, meanwhile, is remaining relaxed over Pompey’s own pursuit of players, clearly in no rush to off-load Chaplin.
The Blues boss admitted the loan market could now become a key area in completing his recruitment.
He will sign on page 38
NoAre we on page 38 yet?
What about now?
