They are not signings they are Loans , I am more concerned by that to be honest ....and we can dress it up however we like but they are not exceptional quality either . Still very concerned until we actually buy players rather than taking another teams cast offs.

Both Forster and Van Dyk left out of Celtics team playing Spuds today..Not even named as subs ......Hmmmmmmm

Celtic v spuds today , could be worth a watch

And I strongly suspect that the two signings we have made for money were forced on the board by Ronald Koeman .......as in I will only sign as manager if i get these two players . So the Board havnt willingly spent a penny , I will be more convinced by there desire to move forward when we BUY another player. Putting in derisory bids on players does not count as commitment .

How about adding to that witholding 25% of there wages and paying it back at the end of the each transfer window as a loyalty bonus .......players would hate that i know .

He has been to SMS saw him in corporate last year for what its worth .

This could very well happen , Guan said board meeting today and some heads on the block

Maybe Ralph is the boardroom change Guan mentioned happening tomorow .......in which case words uttered today are irrelevant . It is with sadness that we have accepted the resignation of Ralph Kruegar , He did not speak yesterday with the permission of the board in any way .

Its like when you find out your girlfriend has been playing away , you gutted and hurt , your angry and finish with here and the affection you had with her . But secretly your excited to see what your next one looks like !!!!

I have now got to the stage where i dont care how many players go , if they dont want to play for Saints then feck off I am actually in a bizarre way excited by the challenge ahead , wouldnt it be great kick in the nuts for the prima donnas that have left if we actually dug in and had a successful season. Time for the Saints Spirit in adversity to come out ...COYR

A few thoughts ..... Les Reed issued that statement while negotiating with Spuds to sell Morgan and Jay as the recent news that has come out indicates .......What a sham FFS No Training pictures today ? why ..probably because Jay and Morgan are sick doing medicals ??? Maybe others are missing I get the feeling RK is getting fed up , his two pictures he posted on twitter are almost sarcastic irony . The Domino effect Guan talked about was out not in !! Why has Fonte and Cork not been given new contracts ?? Because I would imagine they are low wages as we were in Div 1 one they signed .....so add 40-50k oer week between them on wage cost ? over 2 million a year saved by not giving them new contracts ...plus how much do we think the wages have come down with the players that have left. wouldnt surprise me if Fonte , cork , VW and JWP go next .......... Surely the PL will have something to say if we are fielding a youth team on opening day !!

Dalek I would rip your arm off for 17th right now !!!

It was 300m she wanted and they offered 200 million ......100 million short . This was put on twitter at one point by a journalist and rapidly removed . Maybe the intention is net back the 100 million from sales , convert into an equity withdrawal to a swiss account then sell ?? In which case barring the two purchases made which may have been a RK condition of taking the job we wont be buying anyone else , the next two weeks will be key critical for our future in the premiership IMHO

What if as seems likely Koeman insisted we signed Pelle and Tadic as a condition of him taking the job , blatantly they were not scouted by us prior to Koeman joining. If you buy into that then it wouldnt surprise me if the board have no true intention to sign anyone else . Very worried currently ..the.next two weeks will shape our season , we should know the boards intentions by what happens next .

300m wanted ....200M offered , this was put on Twitter at one point then removed .

Those figures are very worrying if correct !

I would expect to see a conversion of equity into a cash withdraw to a swiss bank in this years accounts . Sadly I am beginning to think KL sees the club as a ATM rather than a football club . I dont expect to see many purchases , the two we have made so far are Koemans picks and may even been a condition of his agreement to take the job . It do not seem that Les reed was working on players to come in as he said . We seem to be Tyre kicking with ridiculous offers and I worry this is just to give the impression we are trying to buy . I think a big part of the Cortese fallout with KL was the amount of money he spent on the academy .....this is the academy that has produced all the young stars she is now selling plus many more . If you take the mindset that she is not here for the long run then how could Cortese justify to here the 30m spend which it may take another five or ten years to see any marked improvement from what we have already seen , if at all ?? If someone offered me survival in teh premiership right now i would rip there arm off .......

What if Chambers was a swap deal with a player coming the other way ...would we be okay with that ?? Just saying

Looks like Chambers is gone .....so flirting with disaster it is then !!

God I hope so prefer him to Vlaar better player for us .

Been thinking why Cork and Fonte havnt yet been offered new contracts ......maybe because the Board are worried they would reject a new contract and it would look worse in the press and alert buyers to them wanting away ??? I cant think of any other rational reason for them not have been offered an extension or a new contract . Anyone else any idea ??

Alex Crook is also a Pompey fan ........

Agreed , i think this season will be a big season for Clyne ....if you look at the games he played in last season even he does tend to make things happen around the box , we need this very much

Agreed but there is a difference between derisory and a good starting point ! Second time we have been reported as making an offer way below the asking price for a keeper

Bit two faced of us stating we will only sell a player at a price dictated by us ....then when another team is selling we offer way below what they asking even though they dont want to sell. You could get to the end of August and sign anyone doing it that way ....but it would appear you have been trying very hard .....just saying .
