Although JWP carried on. Would have expected them to be on the same training timetable/regime if both at same fitness level given they've returned to the squad at the same time.
If VvD is only "80% ready", wouldn't a low key pre season friendly be an ideal opportunity to expedite getting him up to 100% fit? He's been doing training with the ball for at least two months now, hasn't he? Surely his foot could take half an hour or so of a non-competitive friendly? If I was a cynic, I'd be inclined to believe there is another reason he isn't in the squad...
As coincidences go, that's up there with the best. I'm currently sat in the Banana Bar in C'an Picafort, Mallorca. True (straw man) story
(And, no, that isn't a Glasgow-esque stock photo of said establishment...)
There aren't any trolls on this forum. Haven't been for several years. Just ask the mods, they haven't banned anyone for trolling in living memory, ergo there are none.
I preferred your previous takeover rumour....

I think if I was born, bred and lived in Portsmouth I'd be one of the masses buying a season ticket at the local football club in order to give me temporary respite from my otherwise drab existence
