News ticker on Sky Sports News now, fee agreed with Plymouth Argyle. :)

 

A great signing if true, was very dangerous against us in the matches with MK Dons.

 

UPDATE

 

Pardew has confirmed on the Stockport pre match interview that Puncheon is one of 3 or 4 players his is after

great signing, one of the only threats for the upcoming jpt game too so would be a welcome addition

 

maybe not the central midfielder we were expecting though, another one on the way perhaps..?

just seen that, is he any good?

 

He is just about MKD's best player (the wide midfielder that ran at pace against us in the JPT). This is just what we need........And he can't do us any damage in the 2nd Leg if he signs.

I touted him as a signng whilst at Barnet but we were skint when he came available. Glad we have come in for him now as he looks decent at this level and can only improve us. Slight concern is that Pardew doesn't seem to know how best to use the current lot so another player added to the mix just makes things harder. I'm also a little concerned at the size of the squad. Maybe the lack of injuries just makes it look bloated.

I like Marcus's style, just buy all the opposition's loan players. Do pompey have any players on loan we could buy?

 

they're about to get O'Hara back on loan. They are also signing a Romanian wide right midfielder on loan

As long as the players we're bringing in are better than what we have then squad size isn't a problem.

 

Puncheon is better than Antonio, Waigo and Holmes out wide so should be a fantastic piece of business.

MK OS says

 

His blistering form for the Dons last season - where his strength, attacking influence and immense shooting power almost helped the men from MK to back-to-back promotions - saw a host of clubs vying for his signature this summer.

 

But it will be Paul Ince and the Dons that benefit from Puncheon's outrageous talents this season, after the winger agreed a season-long loan at stadiummk.

Nigel Quashie has heaped praise on fellow midfield maestro Jason Puncheon, backing him to one day become a Premier League star.

 

The on-loan West Ham man has spent most of his career in the top flight and believes that Puncheon has the talent to make it right at the top of the English game.

 

Quashie, 31, told the Citizen he has been impressed with on-loan Plymouth man Puncheon's talent as well as his attitude towards the game.

 

He has also been using his own experience to pass on some pearls of wisdom to the 23-year-old and said he won't be at all surprised if he one day sees him play football in the top flight.

 

He said: "He has got the ability to go on and play at the next level in the Championship and he could also play in the Premier League in the future I think."

 

"But that is up to Jason, he needs a lot more consistency which he is getting towards.

 

"He's got everything in the bag to go on and be a very good player and when you play alongside him you feel comfortable. He is a good lad too, with his feet firmly on the ground."

 

Consistency is one word often mentioned when talking about the Dons playmaker. At times Puncheon is simply breathtaking, at others times he is frustrating. And Quashie said he has given him advice on when he should use the tricks and when he should keep it simple.

 

"All I can do is help him and guide him in the right way, and if he keeps on doing what he is doing it won't go unnoticed. People will realise that he can step up to the next level.

 

"For him to do it here and then go up to the Championship and then up again would be credit to himself. "

 

Assistant boss Karl Robinson - who had a stint working as a coach at Blackburn Rovers - agreed with Quashie that Puncheon has got all the right attributes to make it to the top. And he said it is now down to the player if he wants to make that happen.

 

He said: "It's high praise from a very good footballer to another very good footballer.

 

"Puncheon's ability levels are of Premier League standard but top flight players are not where they are just because of their ability.

 

"They do so many more things that make them top players.

 

"If you look at Quashie and the way he conducts himself around the training pitch you'll see what I mean."

Very good against us in the jpt I thought.

 

Well done again AP and NC

 

Jason is having a great season and is showing some great form, I have long believed he is one of the best left-footed attackers outside the Premier League and he is now showing that," Finnigan told skysports.com.
