Ah right, my understanding was that Mittal already had a large shareholding so regardless of whether he was looking to increase his stake or not I would be surprised if it wasn't wanting to stump up money for signings in the interim period?

We enquired about Gorkss earlier in the summer and were told he wasn't available. Since they have signed Gabbidon this has now freed up Gorkss hence why QPR have approached us for Puncheon and thrown KG in as part of it as Bernie is a stingy little fuc*er and wants to spend the bare minimum this summer. I'll certainly be putting a few quid on QPR getting relegated this season.

100% this

Hahahaha we've disposed of the carrier pigeon and fax machine then

I think Lukas is the right choice as backup/rotation with Ricky, but it doesn't solve our lack of pace problem (providing AOC leaves).

If only.....

Haha it makes me laugh how people always report back on how fit a saints player looks when they see one in town. How can you tell? Was he doing laps of the food hall?

This won't be happening.

Punch is not even a similar case. He is impossible to deal with and is nothing but a disruption his whole life. I think even Alex Ferguson would have washed his hands of him (if he was actually good enough to play at that level).

Agreed

Can a replacement idea be sorted quickly please as I am bored at work. If someone would be kind enough to make up some more unfounded rumours that would be appreciated.

Our new nickname is going to be the polar bears.

He is. Very prone to going off the rails and certainly a trouble maker by all accounts. The sooner we can ship him out the better.

This!

No, he was away with the England under 21s until last week.

Exactly the sort of player we need.

Would agree with all of that and the player suggestions.

Would love this!

Would agree with that.

Not quite sure how you can include Fuller on this thread. I'd cut my right nut off to have him in our side now! He was given a hard time by our fans, just because he used to play for Pompey, which in turn dented his confidence hugely - pretty pathetic really.

I'd expect us to sign Racon.

We will sign players so I'm not concerned.

In the magazine she commented something along the lines of she hopes Pompey go down.

Get rid of both, but only on the condition that we will spend money on at least one TOP replacement in the caliber of Billy Sharp or Simeon Jackson.

Didn't think I'd ever say this Stu, but I completely agree with you! Someone like Simeon Jackson would be the perfect partner for Lambert up front.
