Walker to pompey (2 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Millwall match was the final chance it looks like and he was rubbish

He was hardly the only one

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

He’s only 13

Dont think so, my Birth certificate would also like to disagree with this

 

[oldfiver]

We have the superstar O’Hare mate,tbh can’t believe none of the big clubs have came in with crazy offers yet...they clearly don’t read this forum

Not many crazy offers for anyone in January?

 

[Barnsley]

Isn't that what an academy is for?

If that's the entire plan forever then it's basically admitting there's never any chance of success. There has to be, at some point, an intention to develop players and keep them to progress, boosted with the occasional acquisition of a first team player.

I expect us to develop and sell players, but whenever we do I at least hope the funds will allow us to bring in another couple so eventually we have a decent squad.

Eventually you’ll have a decent squad, and maybe challenge for a play off slot in the championship, or gain promotion from league one, but if you do, you’ve developed that squad and coaches to a standard you can no longer afford, 2 seasons developing a player generally means he’s probably got one or two years left on his contract, then the clubs cheating FFP and overspending massively, start circling, and before you know it, you’ve got to smash your wage structure, or sell for a modest profit and start again. We sell and start again because that’s the way we avoid being the next Portsmouth, Derby, and so on. We lack ambition, but it’s never boring 4 times out of 5 we’re involved in a relegation battle or a promotion push, it’s not very often we finish a season with half a dozen dead rubber games like some clubs.

Yes MR tried to sign him before we signed godden , Walker turned us down to go to Lincoln , we paid a substantial fee and he was a top earner when he arrived . To bring in bidwell we had to free up wages so Walker has been sacrificed for the reminder of this season

No loan AM in then?

Hopefully they'll be 1 or 2 more going out, then who knows

I reckon Robins is toying with us. Can see him bringing someone else in.

2 weeks to go yet, let's see what happens, I think a couple more to come in yet and maybe 1 out!

 

[Esoterica]

Well at least that settles the lazy debate. Couldn't even be arsed to take his hands out of his pockets for his press photo.

 

[win9nut]

I'm disappointed Peterborough didn't sign him... Scores a few goals for them, keeps them in the Championship, guarantees us six points next season...

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

I wouldn't expect anyone else in before deadline day, but then who knows? There might be the odd PL loan on offer, a Derby freebie or Patterson angling a move from Swansea. Plenty for the rumour junkies to get excited about!

I don´t know enough about Patterson off the pitch (which I admit may be a deal breaker), but on the pitch we would be stupid not to try and get him. 8 goals this season already.

It would give something for O´Hare to think about.

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

I dont do bets, unfortunately I feel I would get easily adicted

I bet you don’t?

 

[Frostie]

Straight into the Starting XI

 

[no_loyalty]

I think he will score on his debut tonight.

he can do everything that O'Hare does badly well, but he can't do any of the stuff O'Hare does well.
Outside of the final 3rd he was lazy and stroppy when we played them and lucky not to be sent off. Apparently he's now thrown his toys out of the pram at Swansea, (2nd time he's done it), I wouldn't touch him .

Not disputing what Believer says given his brilliant track record but my instinct is that we will still strengthen further this window.

Robins had said the board are going to support him a little further which to my mind is not simply allowing a high earner to leave to reinvest in another.That should be within budget and not requiring further board support.

Maybe if we get some cash in for Shipley and Hilßner.

That guy´s head looks like it has been Photoshopped onto the shirt.

 

[better days]

Unlikely in the case of Hilssner

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I think we’ve been trying and failing to give Hilssner away for a year now

 

[Grendel]

Maybe if we get some cash in for Hilßner.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

I could take a run up at this seeing as how I've slated him in the past. But I won't and wish the lad all the best and hope it works out for him

 

[The Philosopher]

There could be something in this.

I have heard that Dortmund are converting Erling Haarland into a defensive midfielder and apparently Frank Lampard regrets that he didn't follow his calling as a defender.

Do you think it applies to brothers too? Could Bobby Charlton have been a better central defender?

Sorry. I assume you were joking?

Pay better attention.

Wasn’t suggesting that he convert, just asked if he used to be a central defender at any stage.

He came through the ranks from very young at Forest, where his dad was one of the best defenders in England for many years. Maybe, just maybe, the boy Walker idolised his dad and wanted to follow in his footsteps

It wouldn’t be beyond reason for the set up there to have considered him for a defender at some point. Many good players start off as one position but then convert. Eg, our GK Wilson played as a midfielder.

It was a mere musing on my part.

But, yeah - great insight - thanks?

 

[Evo1883]

Watching this match on my firestick , not really done much so far ..mind you pompey haven't

Seriously now, why the fuck are you on this forum all the time? If you want to constantly talk about Barnsley then i suggest you get yourself down one of your numerous local bowls clubs.

Wombles 0-0 v Pompey (Walker played all game) Saving his goals for Sunderland on Saturday!

Wouldn't it be great if he bags a hat-trick against the mackems

Had the least touches of any outfield player too. Portsmouth were really poor.

 

[usskyblue]

Who’d have thunkit? I thought he woz better than Godden?

At the risk of sounding like a raging racist, I hope he gets some game time and comes back stronger.

Was at the game. He struggled and looked isolated despite playing in a three (that could well also be the fault of who was alongside him to be fair to Walker). On the rare occasions he got the ball he did too much and lost it when other options were available. It should be said though that he didn’t have much time to prepare to play with new team mates. Hopefully once he’s settled in a bit he’ll do better over the coming weeks.

 

[napolimp]

Doesn't appear that the Pompey fans have taken a shine to him, one poster on their forum has written "the worst striker I have had the misfortune to watch". Hopefully this stint won't damage his value too much.
