why do you want to sell our most talented player? i don't get people like this. There were so many around when Kenwyne was breaking through ''oh just cash in on him, not good enough''.

he didn't look too bad against us in the cup when he was on the pitch, and he's played quite alot for brum this season - including during their unbeaten patch mid-season. Personally i think he'd be the perfect player for us, someone who's been there - done it and can help guide the likes of Adam, Morgan etc. Even if it's just a 1 year deal, i think he would add alot to our squad. I wouldn't complain if we swapped Wotton for Carsley!

Clearly, this will require resources, planning, hard work and patience. We will assemble a strong management team at every level of the Club. We will act rapidly, but also plan for the long term, because I am here for the long term. "I also look forward to the Club re-engaging with the fans and the local community. We cannot succeed with out their backing. "We should not expect instant success, but our fans, employees and other stakeholders can expect 100 per cent commitment from me and my team." It is expected that there will be media briefings on the new owner's detailed strategy during early August when he expects to have the full new management team in place.

any reason? we already have the 2 best keepers at this level. and forecast.

+ Paddy Mccarthy their CB - who Pard's signed at Charlton, but had to let go a year later because of financial problems.

that was a cracking game to watch - the game on Sunday will be unbelievable, winner takes all! i would guess it will be on sky as well. who would we rather face next year? i'd have to say Palace with all their off-field problems at the mo.

yep, crazy isn't it?

It was Lowes policy of building a big squad, with little quality. so if offered a player on a free, he wasn't going to say no. I think the kid should just retire tbh, go and find something you're good at and make a career for yourself...

Lee Carsley? out of contract at birmingham in the summer i think.

i doubt anyone will know the exact budget, but pardew has said he wants to build a championship squad ''now'' - rather than wait another year. If we can attract Fonte when we are 15th in L1, then who knows what our limit will be in the summer? i wonder if we'll even try to bring a few prem player's not getting a game?

what a clueless ****. It seems as if 90% of Portsmouth fans share his view. they really do not have a clue as to what a mess they are in do they? i'm sure they expect to win the league next year with 110 points, with Micheal Owen being the top scorer.

i think he'll be taking a stronger look at the championship team of the year

"Someone in the FA and Premier League needs to say - we need to give them a reward," said Pompey manager Grant. what.the.****.

Pretty fair team i think, although i'm slightly surprised that Snodgrass has been included, because he's really tailed off in the 2nd half of this season (he had a much better season last year IMO), I'd have gone with someone like Douglas from Swindon. Also a bit harsh to include Harte in the team taking up the LB slot - when he's played at CB 90% of this season, so on that basis i'd swap him for Harding.

I think most of us are pretty confident based on our form this season - which lets me honest, in any normal season we'd be in a top 2 place, i'm sure of it. So with more quality to come in the summer to add to this current lot, it would take a **** up of monumental proportions to miss out.

it was as good as giving away a penalty, i knew it was in as soon as the ref' blew up, he very rarely misses chances like that. 18 goals from CB this year!

yep - i found that bit quite funny, a little appeal to the camera, for Nicola and Markus to let him build a quality championship team. He said he wanted to build a championship squad now, so he could bed it in so we're ready when we're promoted. i'm very excited tbh.

I think people are being slightly harsh towards seaborne. He may have been a bit sloppy at the end (but Davis was just as much at fault IMO) but he didn't put a foot wrong during the rest of the game, same can be said of the Oldham match too. He's young and he will have lapses in his game, which can hopefully be coached out of him by Downes (there isn't a better coach around for him). I don't think he'll be first choice week in - week out next year as i still think we'll sign another CB, but i do rate seaborne and at 21 he could become a good player for us.

Sounds to me like it's almost a done deal "I still don't know exactly what the future holds, but Reading and Southampton are in talks," he confirmed. "I'd be happy to stay because I'm enjoying my football, playing games and scoring goals, so there's nothing holding me back from signing. "I've made a lot of progress here and I feel that I've improved a lot on my technical ability, before I was raw with power and pace, but now I've got technicality as well." "There'll be a lot of expectation on us to win promotion next season and if we don't it would have to be a very good reason why not.

yep, glad someone picked that up. He did have a good game and anticipated situations very well, i'm not sure I'd sign him as our first-choice RB - but I'd give him a contract to have him as a squad player.

It would be good to get Leeds out of the way, along with Norwich that's 2 of the strongest teams out of the league straight away. I'd pick Millwall to go up in the playoffs, i think they could still be as strong next year if they stay down. Charlton are a funny one, if they stay down i can see them losing quite a few of their ''big'' players as there was talk of them going into admin not so long ago. I think coming down, obviously plymouth/pboro - but it's the toss up between Palace and Wednesday, i'm not sure who i'd prefer tbh - both decent sized clubs, who will possibly be under new ownership with a bit of money.

i think we'll be fine next season, the thing that's impressed me most so far is Pardews attitude. It's not just the word ''promotion'' or ''top 2'' - he states that we will go all out to win the league and you will not go far wrong with that attitude. set out to achieve the top and you will not go far wrong.

his comment a few weeks ago was exciting. ''if we go up we'll be looking to build a good championship team, but if we stay down I'll be doing the same as well'

alot of people made a big deal of us spending 1.2m at the time, but we didn't we spent possibly around 500k, with the rest (as people have said) being based on apps, international honours and possibly a large sell on fee for Strasbourg. he signed a 4 year deal, i can see him seeing that out with us and hopefully longer.
