Billy Sharp has never scored in a top flight match. So what "scoring record" are you using to compare him with Oswaldo (a current Italian international and 3rd top scorer in Serie A last season)?

It is someone getting their kicks and giggles pretending to be me. Simple things, please simple minds. Grow up.

How do Tottenham benefit from losing their 2nd choice keeper? They'd then weaken their own match day squad and help a rival team.

Yep, its at the Premier League board's discretion if they let us bring in another keeper or not.

Why would Spurs loan out their second choice keeper? They need a sub keeper themselves.

He joined Middlesbrough 3 days ago... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25143739

No it doesn't. Potts, Carson and Marquis have "transfer dates" next to them but all three were loans. Their chief executive has confirmed they can't spend money on transfers... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/catlin-forget-pompey-paying-out-transfer-fees-1-5072403 Plus their chairman confirms they can't pay compensation for a manager in this interview... http://www.expressfm.com/local/podcasts/the-football-hour-933450/

Came through our youth system and was released without playing a 1st team game.

Portsmouth aren't allowed to pay any transfer fee for players or compensation for managers until their football debt has been paid off, which won't be for a long time. It is possible that Wilder may have a clause in his contract that allows him to leave without any compensation needing to be paid. How Pompey found out about such a clause is another question...

Approach made for the manager of the team at the top of their league... BBC Oxford Sport ‏@bbcoxfordsport 12m We understand Portsmouth FC have made official approach for Oxford United manager Chris Wilder. #oufc

Have you actually looked to see if that link supports your point? That link shows in each the last 5 seasons Everton have received more from outgoing transfers than they spent! Saints however since returning to the Premier League have a net spend which is 3rd behind Chelsea and Man City (and we don't have the sponsorship deals or Champions League money like they do).

Why are you talking about it in terms of "good business"? Saints have shown the are able to spend big money on players regardless of player sales. Why not keep bringing players in and keep existing high quality players?

Why? Saints are spending big money regardless of player sales so its better to keep the squad together if you can. If Cortese really does intend to have us compete for the title in the future as today's article suggests we need to be keeping Shaw.

An under 12's game in Poland... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuwVi8dSQWk Perhaps a little excessive!

It is Ramirez that is getting on people's backs today...

As a number of people here predicted, they are a shambles at board level with Chairman Ian McInnes admitting to boardroom infighting... http://www.expressfm.com/local/podcasts/the-football-hour-933450/ The explanation of why Whittingham did the pre-match press conference for the Southend game on the day he was sacked is laughably tinpot. The inmates are running the asylum...

Phew!

All I said was moving from Crawley in League One to Pompey in League Two is a career progression, even if the latter is in the lower league. Barker would get a higher wage, a higher player budget to work with, bigger crowds, better stadium, better youth setup than he did at Crawley. Yes, the Pompey Trust are a disaster of infighting waiting to happen, but it is hard to say Crawley to Pompey on the face of it isn't a good move for Barker even if it probably will end in tears.

For similar reasons Nigel Adkins left Championship S****horpe to drop a league to join Saints in League One and Simon Grayson left Championship Blackpool and dropped a league to join League One Leeds. Yes, there are many delusional things said by Pompey players/owners/fanbase, but it would be foolish for any of us to deny that dropping a league from Crawley in League One to Pompey in League Two is still a good career move (in theory). Pompey are basically a mid to small Championship sized club with their current infrastructure and fanbase. They have delusions of being more than that, but are still bigger than every League One/Two club apart from Wolves and Sheffield United.

No, it is for players eligible for the under 18's in 2013/14 only. 3 overage outfield "reserves needing match fitness" and one overage keeper can play for the under 21 development side in league games.

It is the under 18's.
