Give it to Ron

But that is where your short sightedness is shown up again - name me one keeper that has come through the ranks recently? Why does he have to wait 6 years to get in the squad - he already has played in the under 18's! So what you are saying is that we shouldnt have signed Forster but a second string keeper so we didnt upset poor Boruc? You would have been the first to have complained. You forget the condition he was in when he came here and all the training the club has given him. So Irene we are small minded shame I can say the same for you as you only see his side what about what the club has done for him loyalty is two ways where is his?

It was sorted.....was the club meant to preempt the fact that Boruc was going to thrown his toys out of the pram and not prepared to have competition and back his talent? Are we meant to sign cover for every position then just in case some poor little soul doesnt want anyone to take their place? We bought in the England goalkeeping coach, we signed a very promising keeper from Torquay into the academy we are addressing this, we have 2 other decent keepers in the u18 side.

If you think we are bad you should go and watch any Hampshire Prem mens game on a Saturday afternoon when Saints aren't playing.....Saints are toffs and gentlemen compared to some of the games I have seen this year - it was a shock after moving up from youth football.

Arrrggh thanks I thought it a bit odd him having played well sort of last night

Hernandez is having a medical at Hull apparently switched to him after Rhodes deal fell through

Because he kept giving the ball away stupidly

Its not fitness its an injury

Alan Cork ‏@alancorky 7m There are going to be some busy doctors doing medicals this week, have to keep looking on the screen to see who's going where.

Gaston was doing fitness work on Saturday with training staff didnt look 100% fit

Rumour I heard from Leeds was that the fee is going to Sharp to help offset his wages - no idea if true just off WACA Leeds forum apparently

Exactly...thats the whole picture to look at not just stats or some whingeing about the price just because they can think it won't be doing the same as what Pompey did! Yes 12m does seem high ...on one player who if he scores 2 goals that keeps us up will have paid for it - same as Jonathan Forte did really. Mayuka, Gallagher, Sharpe are not going to do the business - Long just may help us with the right team shape and chip in with the odd goal or two.

Yeah always have been crap at multi tasking thats why I edited it!! Strikers are not always about scoring goals its what else they add to the team..why did so many managers put faith in Emile Heskey? Having watched us on Saturday it was obvious to me we needed someone to support Pelle get in advance of him, run channels someone with a bit of movement. I have nicked Nicks stats here - Rickie got 13 league goals last season, take away the free kicks and the penalties and he wasnt in double figures - football is a team game I think Long is a good option until we can hopefully get jayrod back until he goes in January.

Any chance you can **** off back to sea for the season??

Its having an insane interest in football I not only watch Saints but other teams play as well. I watched Ings quite a bit last season before his injury.

Couldn't give a rats arse who he supports I think his style is a perfect match for Pelle.

Ings would be my choice too but doesn't seem like there is any movement for us

Don't think I will buy in the ground again. Went in new pub Spitfire in town cheap food £2.20 a pint of Ringwood

Why are you calling him a liar ? What has he hoped to gain by posting that?

Bought mine this morning steady stream of people priced right at £12

What like Sunderland last season?

So your a better judge on the quality of keepers than the England coach? How many games have you seen Forster play?

So we recruit the England goalkeeping coach who knows him well yet we have fans rubbishing him on one game!! Is he better than what we currently have?

Heard on Talksport that VVD is going to Swansea for 6m after Celtic exit.....can't be right surely?

Thanks for those Norm and you are of course right....do you have any of the Pompey shirt buried in the centre circle :-)
