Looks like our under 18 captain George Franklin Moving on, can Brown do a job at left back?

 

[Bornyellow]

He would cost a lot, considering they just sold jevani brown, if they sold Nombe as well that would leave them with 0 recognised strikers i believe

Brown was OOC wasn’t he, they were willing to offer him a new deal pending the result of his court case but he jumped ship to Bristol Rovers. They have however received a very decent fee for Archie Collins and will get decent compensation for Josh Key once his move is confirmed.

… Are you saying you wouldn’t take Twine?!

Need to read again. I wouldn’t have twine be a striker because he’s not one. He’s better off the wing or one of the players who plays behind a striker in a 3421

Looks like whyte is about to be announced at Portsmouth. A good player but iam sure we've got our own new Gem coming in.

Pompey headlined Whytes arrival with 9 in and not one loan.
They are spending big early to get promotion, in a weaker league than last season.

Can remember Dwight Tiendalli being one of the players pictured in the stand, which took ages for anyone to solve.

In the stand was Tiendalli's best position, it's a shame Clotet played him out of place at right back.

 

[Mellowyellow]

I worry some might be disappointed if expecting six more in. Can’t see it being anywhere near that unless players leave. Two strikers/forwards at a minimum, maybe a left-back if and when Seddon leaves. Can’t see there being much more than that unless we shift some deadwood.

If not we will not fulfill what fans are hoping the season will be, after the first flurry of players.
Would raher perm signings, we seem to have gone early into loans rather than spending on fees.

That’s fine, they can win and we’ll come second

I thought you were on the wind up at first when you started to be negative about our summer business 5 weeks before the 1st game of the season but it seems like you are actually unhappy.

Question for you...does anything make you happy?!

We have made 5 top class signings and you still moan.

 

[andystroud]

We have made 4 top class signings and you still moan.

Four? Which one don’t you rate?

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Four? Which one don’t you rate?

I keep forgetting about the new full back.

 

[SirAndyOfCrosby]

I keep forgetting about the new full back.

So did KR, every f**king window.

Portsmouth have brought in several players on free transfers rather than spending on fees, yet you are more than happy with their transfer business.

Strange that you should be so dismissive of our business with 5 weeks to go to our first game and 2 months of the transfer window remaining? That's out of character!

 

[Leysboy]

So did KR, every f**king window.

Sean Clare was his greatest experiment for a full back. Dear oh dear!

Interesting use of the word 'greatest'!

Robyn & the team discuss: touring fans, Fin Stevens, a striker search and more!

I'll just leave this here.
According to the debate on this week's Dub, we don't need an additional left back as we already have cover (Long, Stevens, Thorniley). The assumption of course is that Brown is the starting left back.

We need a starting left back desperately

 

[Leysboy]

We need a starting left back desperately

Yawn Getting boring now!

 

[Chippy]

We need a starting left back desperately

Really? Well why didn’t you say so before now?

 

[Jakehodgson51]

Yawn Getting boring now!

How is it boring? It’s just my opinion we can’t have brown there all season. He isn’t a natural left back

 

[Jakehodgson51]

Really? Well why didn’t you say so before now?

I have said it before
