Jack Stephens came in from Plymouth at a similar age for a similar sum, if memory serves. It feels like the club are concentrating on signing prospects this window, which ties in with the promise to not sell any first-team regulars. With players on long contacts, we can concentrate on signing young talent rather than plugging the gaps and look to promote from within in future.

So Wolves have let Jed Wallace go for less than they paid Pompey, and they'll get nothing out of their sell-on clause. Which is weird, wasn't he the nailed on England prospect who'd be taking the Premier League by storm, or some such? http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/pompey/no-wallace-windfall-for-pompey-1-8025953

Both JWP and Redmond look decent at this level. Can't really see why we're supposed to be interested in the Polish number 6, though.

Man v Fat Football is coming to Portsmouth

Google hasn't heard of it. http://prntscr.com/fghvt2

True, I'd forgotten about him, but we've signed probably the two best center backs in the league in Alderweireld and Van Dyk.

What is it with you muppets being so rude to someone making a series of perfectly valid points. I'd say he's similar in that he's clearly a big lad who likes to bring the ball forward, is comfortable with it at his feet and can pick a pass. He looks strong in the tackle too, and quick. Forren aside, we've done damn well bringing in center backs in recent years, I don't get where all the negativity is coming from.

"Passionate fans, twelth man." "He's managed big clubs with big expectations in the past." Here we go again, what a charming modest bunch. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jun/02/portsmouth-kenny-jackett-manager
