rallyboy Posted 17 July, 2011 Share Posted 17 July, 2011 certainly did, he straightened his leg and followed through. The sort of occasion when dim commentators say 'he got the ball' or 'it was an accidental clash'. Maybe he was trying to improve Varney's looks - or his ability to take penalties? Either way it must have been nice to see far less empty seats in the old stadium, pity the new owners and the visit of Chelsea wasn't sufficient to sell out. Champagne moment? Must have been when £36K a week outcast and traitor Tal Ben Haim popped up to score the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintjay77 Posted 17 July, 2011 Share Posted 17 July, 2011 I can't see why Pompey would want to let Lawrence go. Didn't he do well for them last season? With this new take over the wages can't be an issue can they? I doubt we are going to be offering 20k Ish a week or what ever he is supposed to be on so can't see it happening. Can see puncheon going there though and with a bit of luck he will turn out the same as he has for all the other clubs. Starts well then fades away to be no more than an expense.

It only cost 7 mil for us to get a squad together and get some training ground issues sorted. It will no doubt cost more to get the rest of the training ground sorted and some more on topping up our squad but how much more would they have to spend to fill thier squad and actually buy a training ground?

saintjay77 Posted 18 July, 2011 Share Posted 18 July, 2011 Lawrence was possibly their best player last season. When he got injured their run of wins stopped. I'd also be surprised if he moved to another Championship side. If they have had a re-think on their wage structure then there are a few players above Lawrence that I would of thought they would be trying to ship out. But then like the others why would a player want to move if he is getting paid more than he would elsewhere? Would many championship teams pay 20k per week for a player of that standard? Sven's mob seem to be the main people splashing the cash but cant think of any others right now? Even lower end prem would think hard about that outlay I think.

To be fair, I suspect we'll do well to match that once the league gets going as it was a cheap game at £15 a pop.... Do you think the numbers have dropped cause of the mess over the last so many years or cause of the league your in? Regularly getting gates of around 15k (home support) can't be enough to fund anything spectacular which puts back to wondering what the new owners think they can get out of it all? I think our markus's intentions were more of a play thing to buy us but with an end vision of at least getting his money back should he want to walk away.
