Any update on the Wang / Wanda situation sir? Cheers

Comes across well and whets the appetite for the future. So, no overt 'thank you' to Mr Cortese then? It's what he would have wanted... Now eyes peeled for Ben Smith or Neil Ashton's next article... P.s. Have we come out of meltdown mode yet?

Yup

Can he play Centre Back?

Any best guesses on when we're likely to get an official announcement? Roughly? Hours? Days? Next week? Cheers!

You'd have thought so, wouldn't you. But am doubtful we could outbid Man Utd and/or persuade Astori to choose l'il ol' Southampton over the mighty Red Devils...

So, their youngsters aren't ready or good enough to play in the heady heights of League 2 but they'll be fine in the league below which is merely an extension of the league they're in. Didn't take Barker long to pick up the nuances of Pompey logic then...

@Pompey_Fans: New defender happy to be at 'magical' Fratton: Pompey's latest recruit is hoping his experience can he... http://t.co/mJCad30H6q #pompey The only thing 'magical' about Pompey is how they can make c.£150m disappear before everyone's eyes...

@SimonPeach: The severity of Lovren & Ramirez injuries should become clear on Tuesday. Both have suffered ankle ligament damage, with the latter's worse.
