On the plus side, Sunderland fans reckon you’ll finish 5th this season.
On the plus side, Sunderland fans reckon you’ll finish 5th this season.When you support clubs like Pompey & Coventry there are more downs than ups, or so it would appear. I love football in general and I like a good old football natter but the two teams I really do care about are Pompey & England, and there is definitely more downs than ups with them two. I am writing this post just after we have lost in the semis at the World Cup and I am a little cheesed off to say the least and to top it off it seems Chaplin will be leaving our club, probably to you if he goes. Kenny Jackett is thinking of bringing in Mo Eisa who will cost £1.5 million so I would assume Chaplin will be forced out the door. The player himself will need to be convinced to leave because he has been at Pompey since he was 7 and loves the club and he will be gutted to leave. But he has talent and needs to be playing regularly and he will give you lot some excitement for sure.
Don’t worry...we’ll look after him.When you support clubs like Pompey & Coventry there are more downs than ups, or so it would appear.

They had a spectacular fall but at least enjoyed some good times spending money they didn’t have. We spent money we didn’t have and all we got was a chairman who became a lot richer!Pompey have done alright though
Haven't had the time to read all 9 pages of this forum topic, but what I think is odd, is that if CCFC are committed to "going for it" in L1, why would we wish to be using up any of the £1.2m from McNulty buying an unproven 21 year old for £250-£500k thus helping Portsmouth buy their real target of Eisy from Cheltenham, when in fact, we should be adding to the £1.2m rec'd by a further £300k (money from Madison sell on ) and buying Eisy instead .. someone who by all accounts, looks the real deal ? One shows real determination to replace McNulty ... the other doesn't, in my humble ?
Unfortunately we can't play two at once so I'd rather have one good one.
Why? Boddy isn't in Spain, they can talk on the phone and agree the offer being sent to Pompey/the player.Nothing is likely to be finalised until Robins and the management team are home from Spain
That's possible but every single signing since Robins arrived has been announced at Ryton with a press release hosted by the managerWhy? Boddy isn't in Spain, they can talk on the phone and agree the offer being sent to Pompey/the player.

Robins appears to be calling the shots now so I'd be surprised if there is any change especially as they return in a few days
Yeah .. maybes ... just think one real quality striker (accepting an injury then stuffs us completely) with having Biamou and Ponti would be the best option ... someone highly rated with a proven track record ... ? Who'd be a football manager eh ;-)Maybe Robins doesn't want to spend so much on a single player and could probably get 2 strikers in?

Plus someone needs to convince the player that he actually wants to come here - Im assuming terms (wages - contract length) and the way we would want him to play have not been discussed yet.
I doubt Portsmouth would give him permission to talk to any other club until a fee has been agreed.

What’s the point of that though? We can’t play two shit strikers in place of one decent one. We’re still only allowed 11 men.
I mean by that logic why not get 100 non league strikers in for £10k each?
Said at the start we should just offer all the McNulty cash for Eisa, same terms.

Isn't there a reason he seems to always drop back to league 2?Should we go for James Collins how much would he cost us? Local lad should make the step up to league 1 could be better value than Chaplin. He scored about 20 goals last season

I suppose somebody has to take a gamble on him and give him a run of games in league 1. It will be interesting to see how he gets on with Luton in league1 If we don't sign himIsn't there a reason he seems to always drop back to league 2?
He knows where the back of the net is anyway we could do worse depending on the price. He could be a good foil for pontiWrong type of player in my opinion. Could be half decent with someone like Chaplin but never really done it at this level.
