@pn_neil_allen @FatBlerk I would be utterly ashamed if my football club acted like yours. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Same old Pompey..
Don't understand why we would bother arsing around and going that far down the line if we didn't have a realistic chance of signing him. Surely we would be better off focusing our efforts on players who will join, not endlessly indulging in contractual foreplay with someone who isn't interested in joining us.
Was looking forward to reading updates on Matt Phillips signing but this thread now seems firmly entrenched in argument about something almost completely irrelevant. Huzzah, gotta love the mongboard
