Massive ginger. Not him.

Really? Blue shirts? Doubt it....

16 'fraid not. To be honest it's all gone a bit quiet now. I'll chuck you the fact that he's Italian.

Not having played for his country (full international level) would make playing in the world cup a bit tricky.

Only at U21 level.

Sorry, but no. Latin types rarely are.....there you go big hint.

Yeah, that's too cryptic for me...

Over 30

Never been contracted over here. He may have been in a European competition here but not to my knowledge.

Yes and No.

I'd never heard of him but the you tube videos look good.....a bit of a David Platt type late runner into the box type if that helps?

No, it's true. The thing is I can't compromise my source (always wanted to say that!) and I know they met for talks today - but I don't know the outcome. I fully intend to exploit my ITK status from now on though - it probably won't last long......

Yes, 19 to go.....

Where's the fun in that? The whole point of this is I know something you don't.

Animal, and yes or no questions from now on until you get too close.....

Yep, sounds like the same one I've heard.

I know we're in for a player currently playing in one of Europe's second tier divisions (not England). He's a midfielder and has already had talks with Pardew.

I saw those interviews and they were a bit embarassing. If Lowe had come out with something similar he'd have been slated for it. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter much but it does smack a bit of insecurity.

When I was growing up Pompey barely figured on my radar - i knew I was supposed to hate them but it's hard when they are so far removed from us. It wasn't until they got promoted that I really payed any attention to them and even then it was largely as a reaction to their hatred of us. I was surprised just how much they dislike us which is a bit silly really considering that the only basis is that we're their nearest geographical club to them but there it is. I do think a large section of them actually hate us and that's what characterises them for me; most of us only dislike them as a direct result of their attitude to us. Frankly they're above us. Great, who cares? I care about as much as I do about Spurs or Bournemouth or any other club which is actually not at all. if I have any feeling at all it's that i wish they would stop this fixation with being better than us - over recent years that's hardly a benchmark for success, is it? Over the past year I will admit that my feelings have changed a bit - the club has lied and cheated blantantly and blamed everyone else for their problems. I think they deserve to be liquidated.

In this post Professor has displayed a tendency for condesension and pretension. Within the aspect of living up to his username and perceived role on an internet forum this is entirely in keeping with his online persona. However professor should realise that other threads exist to express his opinion on without having to start a new one based on purely upon his own need for validation of his opinion. I mean, honestly? "Alan showed that he has a good understanding of the subject but he could improve his consistency in putting this knowledge into practice" You pompous sod!

I'd take it to mean that the players we are in for are playing at a higher level but not necessarily guaranteed starters for their current club. So unless the selling club is in financial difficulty then we have to wait until they get replacements in. Of the players we've been linked with I'd guess it's probably worth while following the transfer activity of Notts Forest, Sheff Utd and Reading.

Well it's all about opinions but I don't see Austin as being able to play the Lambert type role. I actually would take henderson over Austin every time. I don't think Austin is that good and in any case we're not linked with him. They're both pretty unrealistic targets though.

i Seems a a good player and a good investment. We're not crying out for another centre half and the lad, according to the BBC, wants to join Middlesbrough. I reckon someone has made this up or at best it's his agent trying to generate some interest.
