I have to say I agree. Going to Wembley for a semi-final isn't even half as prestigious/fun as going for a final IMO.
And I ain't just saying that because it's Pompey. Playing the semis at Wembley is a shocking idea.
We haven't paid all of those fees up front though. It was about £800k for Fonte and Lambert each.
What with the match day and cup revenue I honestly think we have covered the transfer fees easily. I admit the wage bill is a bit of guess work but I don't really believe it's that high.
