We aren’t in the PL because we were convicted of cheating, which more than likely directly impacted us losing for 20 plus. But aside from that.

Sorry but that’s a poor comparison. Dibbling, whilst talented with potential, was a young player who dipped out of the squad towards the end of the season. Stewart, Charles and THB (with probability of losing Jander and / or Scienza), are 3 key players who are the best in their role in our league. I don’t really like to comment on the window until it’s done as there are many moving parts, however, if anyone thinks we’ll even get within a sniff of top 2 (or 4 for that matter), they’re delusional.

A gentle reminder for those attending the game... center back Ben Gibson is the nephew of Steve 'gibbo' Gibson.

yeah, moving to Sporting Lisbon (from championship club Coventry) was a terrible move for Gyokeres

Think this will be the case for a few - Scienza, Jander and probably THB. Jander aside, I can't see anyone paying the money we'd want to get them.

More fool you in that case I'd say. If a bigger club comes in and pays the money, he'll be off (as would probably everyone in our squad)

Benfica also intrested in Tosin*... Apparently. *Chelsea CB who Marco Silva would know from his time at Fulham.

Its obvious that every player has their price. I wouldn't be surprised if we've said if a club at x level come in for you and offer us y, you can leave. As nice as it sounds to turn down offers, if we stop him from going to a top club in the europa leauge (assuming he wants to go), we don't then get the next THB through the door.

We could have Jeff Bezos inject £200m for us to spend. We're still not signing Vipotnik at this point. Delusional to think otherwise.

We've had 11 reasons why he's not getting a sniff. Even if he improves, he's not the kind of striker we play with (strong, physical and can play with back to goal).

Fair. Intresting proposal. If done right, it has the potential to massively dent the Portsmouth economy given they have little more to visit there than Gunwharf 😃 You'd imagine it would be fairly catastrophic to West quay and the rest of town though. Would also be a nightmare for cars heading in / out.

Is Lankshire anymore proven (or at least £20m more proven) than Mubama?

We should be going all out to try sign Jordan James. He's as close to Charles as we're likley to find - I honestly cannot think of a more suitable replacement.

Lets be honest, signing Stewart would have been just as much a risk. We got 3 decent months out of him in the 4 years he was here.

Confirmed that's the plan or your opinon?
