We need muscle but by that I mean strong and athletic - not Wotton who is by the way a poor tackler - mis-times so many and always looks good for a straight red.

Disappointing but not surprising. Around 5 new faces needed - 2 x huge CB's, 1 x Tough midfielder, 1 x winger, 1 x striker. Mental and physical strength needed in this division - we have neither in too many of these players. Personally I would ship out Perry, Wotton, Rasiak, Saga, Lancashire, Pulis and Molyneux before the transfer window ends. Some are not good enough others don't want to be here. Question marks over James (as a midfielder), Thomson (never seen him have an impact), Spiderman (not cut out for Div 1 football?) at this level. I still think Thomas is mentally suspect also. Some of these need to be replaced with experienced Championship players with a bit of muscle. A hell of a lot to do in the next couple of weeks - from now until then is effectively the pre-season we never had.

No nor me, quite surprised, thought he was about the same height as Chris Baird.

He is in stature but has a great leap (scored against us with a header...although everybody used to do that). Leeds fans seemed to rate him last year.

Lol

As I have said before they have sold £100m worth of players, but that is not enough to repay all the liabilities as they were in the May 2008 accounts. The high wages would have continued to have been paid since so the liabilities would have increased further since then too. I do not think they are anywhere near as debt free as they believe - I have seen some posts on their forum that their debt position "is the envy of many clubs in the Premier League" - I would suggest it probably isn't, neither is their asset base or turnover capability.

Would be good to have more info Bungle on why it is c***, I was about to buy it.

A couple of characters from a Dickens novel.

If you really think he wasn't sacked then you are very naive I am afraid.

Pure speculation picked up from the skate message boards - does have a ring of truth to it though when you look at Storrie's demeanour at their fish fest last night.

All wide players though or at least with a tendency to drift, I think Mellis plays through the centre more and can link up play with the strikers.

Would certainly follow in your long tradition of shady owners - but better than the alternative of administration I guess.

Yes, everything on the internet is 100% you know

Exactly, seems he is "Lampard" type of player in that he arrives late into the box to score - we haven't got any of those type of players - Spiderman is a Euro style ball player, Gillett a terrier, Lallana skillful but wide drifter and Wotton is errr, agricultural.

Calm down dear, it's only a football message board.

Al-Fahim deal off. Storrie taking over with David Dein.

You tease tac-tics - Jaidi?

You never know on here!!

Yet

One of the most ridiculous things ever written on here.

He was normally in the Pot & Kettle!

In the latest amusing delusion down at Fratton, the skates have signed a deal with Portsmouth Mercedes as apparently "Portsmouth Football club enjoys a strong demographic fit with the brand's target audience, with a very high percentage of ABC1 fans supporting the club". Lol - the funniest thing I have ever read, bet Westwood can't wait to pick up his new E-Class.

He giveth and he taketh away.....

I meant against the liabilities, badly phrased, typed too quickly. I still think the papers are only looking at PCCF and not Miland Developments 2004 which are in a worse state and part of the group.

A longer shot than Lambert's goal against Luton Danish Saint!
