I'd go big for Begovic, top class keeper. We should always be looking at replacements, not backups. Let him and Boruc scrap it out for no 1.

Now JRod is on the injury table for months is a reconciliation with Ossie out of the question? Have always said the guy has all the talent in the world but needs to get his head sorted out. If we could heal the whole affair up could we still get a top quality striker for a lot less than the alternatives, very long shot though I admit.

Boruc Lallana JRod Lovren Morgan Ricky Shaw Cork Fonte Davis Clyne Not based on how I personally rate the players, just on how important they are to the team i.e. tactical importance and what the alternatives are.

Whilst the possession stats in the first half may look good we never really troubled the Man City defence. It's been said a thousand times on here but we need a lot more incisiveness and speed going forward if we are to have any chance of breaking down the top teams. City were quite timid in the first half but we couldn't take advantage. Also some of the decisions didn't do us any favours but that's life. Gazzaniga is not up to the job (but we already knew that anyway).

Looks like Jose wants to offload Lukaku if the Telegraph is anything to go by. Would love for us to get him but..... Big stumbling block. Telegraph Link

Lukaku would be my no 1 but I also like the look of Remy or Bony. Even Welbeck might not be a bad shout and would enjoy playing alongside some of the other England players. Could see him flourishing here (only if Man Utd wanted to release him though).

In season's gone by virtually anyone in this team could have won player of the year but yes I think Lallana should get it. Special mentions to Shaw, Davis, Cork and Schneiderlin - throughout the whole season our midfield unit has been immense (and would have been more so if big Vic had been available). If Ossie had worked out (i.e. 20 goals) we'd be top 6 right now IMO.

Good grief, Pompey vs Eastleigh next season? Eastleigh to do the double? It's a world of pain if you're a Pompey fan.

The squad is small and by playing a hard physical closing down style they are probably getting tired and injury niggles are not helping. We are also safe with nothing much to play for which may be having an effect on player mentality. That all said to go to Spurs and push them all the way playing some top football in the first half wasn't too shabby. They are after all a top 5\6 team that spent huge amounts of money on players this season. If we can keep our current crop and strengthen in key areas we'll be a force next season. Can we keep them though?

Good keeper but definitely needs some real competition. As soon as Artur is out we are in trouble. Would love to see someone of the calibre of Begovic or Schmeichel here and let the two of them scrap it out for top spot. Probably wouldn't happen though as both would be good enough for 1st team places in their own right.

Don't get it myself, Pompey are history - not even rivals any more. Their implosion will be complete if\when they go down into the non league. Actually feel for their decent fans, what a shambles that club was. I can't see them ever getting back into the big time short of a one in a million takeover.

Can see this one happening, hope not but looks like a decent fit for Utd and they are going to turn any players head.

If it's all about potential I'd drop a league and go for Plymouth. Always thought that with decent management they could become a regional power and go far. Nice part of the world too.

A win would certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons and make the end of season run in a lot more interesting that I'd have dared imagine. Can't really see it though, they will be smarting after yesterday and we're going to feel the backlash.

He should be playing for France, he is French after all. That said, international sport has become a bit of a joke when it comes to only picking home grown. Off the top of my head I can think of Zola Budd, cricketers like Alan Lamb, Robin Smith, KP and more, Mo Farah, a fair few of the All Blacks, Manu Tuilagi. Greg Rusedski etc etc. I guess it depends on your definition of a national, mine would be born and bred in that country but others would disagree.

Ricky knows exactly what he needs to do to get on that plane so let's hope he bags a load between now and end of season.

Lukaku would be my choice but we may have to dangle Shaw as a carrot. How about looking at the champ for the likes of Ings\Vokes\Rhodes?

I hope he stays, we have more points than the whole of last season and we've still got around a quarter to go. FA Cup mess aside he's been a great manager here. There's also the squad unity angle, if MoPo sticks around then so will hopefully our best players too.

It really was a FaCup this year. If the club don't plan on taking it seriously next year then let us know and drop the prices significantly.

I'm not angry but there's no doubt the season has deflated quite a lot as a result of it and that's a shame as we've had a cracking league campaign and seen some top class football. It's not losing to Sunderland, never was as they are a decent team, it was the fact that we had the chance and seemed to snub it. We may not get that chance again for a very long time. Fans still want the cup but teams (apart from the mega squad top 4/5) don't seem to and that's very sad. If MoPo was serious then why Davis over Boruc for starters?

Couple of milestones yesterday, firstly got past that magic 40 point mark and secondly with 9 games left we now have more points than we had for the whole of the 12/13 season. Just shows what a great job Poch has done and considering our finishing has struggled just how brilliant our midfield and (when all fit) defence have done. Hopefully we can push on to around 55'ish points by season's end which would be a fantastic achievement. Just a shame about the cup

Shaw looked like he's been playing for England for years, you have to keep on telling yourself that he's only 18. I think he's on the plane. Adam looked like the only player that could pick the Danish lock and as it turned out he was. Another class act. On the plane. Schmeichel looked very good - maybe a cheeky bid in the summer?

Whilst we have the luxury to try out squad players without too much risk we should, so yes lets see what Gallagher can do.

I really hope we can keep our best players (apart from Ossie, bridges well and truly burnt on that one unfortunately) because with the exception of our finishing they are all pretty damn good. If anyone goes I'd say it would be Shaw and possibly Lovren. Think Adam and Morgan will hang around a bit more yet. Hopefully we'll get that goal scoring striker + a rival to Boruc and if Lovren were to depart another CB.

Scored the other day for Juve against Trabzonspor, looked pretty useful up front though his goal was an easy one. Let's hope he keeps on scoring and Juve are persuaded to buy him.
