hope he stays. Tremendous talent and given enough time could be sensational for us. There are many other players I'd rather departed before him.

£16k a week was the figure bandied around on here

Could not agree more. it seems like a genuine change of policy. Previously Cortese seemed to hold out for a transfer fee and wasn't willing to cover the difference in wages and that meant players sitting around earinng a fortune and never getting close to a match day squad.

As I have mentioned before, in Cork and Morgan we already have a very good central pairing so this guy will need to be very good to even get in the side. Cork didn't have a bad game and when he went off injured in the WBA game we capitulated. Great to have strength in depth of course.

Shed lot of money spent by the same scouts that gave us Forren. Hope he shines, he'll need to be good to dislodge Morgan and Cork.

he really is woeful in front of goal and never looks like scoring, but you have to wonder whether VW is going to score many more. Lack of goals from both doesn't worry me too much though as Cork more than made up fro it with some sparkling performances. Brave man to drop him as when he wasn't in the side and when he was subbed we were poor.

he'll need to be bloody good to dislodge Morgan or Cork, who were both sensational last season.

I don't fancy seeing centre backs covering at full back much. Once in a blue moon against long ball experts maybe, but if Clyne or Shaw got injured?

very good point. They have brought in over half a dozen players already. I wonder if some will turn out to be amazing signings too like Michu.

I love how many times a **** player is suggested as a possible signing for us just because they are no longer under some sort if contract. It's usually by someone that hasn't seen the guy play much.

but the question is are you describing Jos or Yoshida?

doubt Wednesday will take him back. He was absolutely pony foir them so my Sheff Wed supporting mate told me yesterday.A big no from me.

It looks alright. I like the proper stitched in badge - is ours stitched in? I hate the adidas logo in the centre though. The weird arms thing doesn't grab me much.

would be interesting to know who was the fasted player. Morgan?

I see Palace are linked with Sam Byram today. Ideal player for us to buy to push Clyne.

Liked last seasons away white kit the most, the Pony kit the least. If I had to go for a home kit the 1948/49 season works for me with the navy shorts. Much better than the black ones.

Was it the club to help create `a buzz' before the launch of a new striped kit?

looks like a fake to me, perhaps to through fans of the scent and create an element of surprise when the kit turns out to be striped. If not then its worse than last season, and that was as poor in style and quality as football kits come. Plenty of mugs will still buy it though. I prefer to spen dmy money on tickets.

At last Fratton will get the improvements it requires

perhaps it may have dawned on Cortese that accepting lower bids or even supplementing wages might be the way to go.

are they any good?

we should target crappier players, much easier to sign them.

We beat Spain some time ago too, but when it comes to propoer games we struggle. Seeing us run ragged by Italy in the Euros showed how limited we are.

is he any good there?

correct. point to you.
