We could have Jeff Bezos inject £200m for us to spend. We're still not signing Vipotnik at this point. Delusional to think otherwise.

We've had 11 reasons why he's not getting a sniff. Even if he improves, he's not the kind of striker we play with (strong, physical and can play with back to goal).

Fair. Intresting proposal. If done right, it has the potential to massively dent the Portsmouth economy given they have little more to visit there than Gunwharf 😃 You'd imagine it would be fairly catastrophic to West quay and the rest of town though. Would also be a nightmare for cars heading in / out.

Is Lankshire anymore proven (or at least £20m more proven) than Mubama?

We should be going all out to try sign Jordan James. He's as close to Charles as we're likley to find - I honestly cannot think of a more suitable replacement.

Lets be honest, signing Stewart would have been just as much a risk. We got 3 decent months out of him in the 4 years he was here.

Confirmed that's the plan or your opinon?

Not convinced hes any better than McBurnie. I guess they're going for the ipswich approach of building a side good enough to go back up again in 2 years. Have a feeling this will be the year the derby record is beaten (by either them, Cov or both)

It'll be one of Archer, Downs or BBD. No way will we sign anyone to come in as 3rd choice.

No, we need someone who can carry the ball and chip in with some goals.

We just signed George Long. 0 chance this happens.

To be fair, BBD would offer us something different on the left wing. Edozie and Scienza are both the type of player to beat a man and hit the byline, where-as BBD is very much cut in and shoot. If the option is to loan him out and have to cover the majoirty of his salary... or keep him, I'd rather we kept him.

I'd say there is 0 evidence that Jebbison would get us out of the leauge. Looks incredibly average if you ask me, a more physical Downs. If that is the caiber of player we're looking at, it starts to make not offering stewart and extra year incredibly questionable. I'm still a little fearful that Larin might absolutely crash this season as well. It was an obvious signing at 3m or whatever we paid, but i'm not at all confident with him leading the line all season, alone.

I suspect its more that they're willing to offer more than the 1 year we are. To be fair, I get it from his persepctive, he's probably 1 injury away from being done all together. I would imagine when we left the club a couple of months back, he'd have expected to land a better gig than Swansea.

I think you'd have to be incredibly naive to think he wasn't aware that he was breaking the rules. I do think he knew, but also probably thought it was just one of those things that happen and isn't that serious and would at worst result in a slap on the wrists - which I agree with him on.
