non-scoring strikers

“We scoured Europe but the best candidate was under our noses all along”

Like Schweinsteiger translates as pig herder. Most Western surnames are job title derivatives or clan membership. Like the Mc or O’ in Scottish/ Irish names means of, similar to the Dutch van der means of the. Jeez, apologies to bore you all with some early morning etymology.

Same here, was in the vip area in Time with the players after we beat Wolves in the play off semis. Neilson walked in dressed like a pimp, ankle length cream coat with collar up and a cane.

Tzolis and Leitner want a word!

Agreed.

Anyone seen Jean Yves de Blasiis recently?

I went to Vale away a couple of seasons later. We lost 1-0 and the ground was like a building site.

Knapper is the complete opposite of Webber. He's measured, calm and gets excellent deals on both incoming and outgoing transfers. Most importantly he's not a narcissist.

People seem to conveniently forget another of Farke’s big red flags. He would always say how much better the opposition were and how lucky we were to be there, in his pre-match pressers, which would instil little confidence in the squad. And this was evident in both his premier league outings. My word, we took far too long to sack him. If Knapper were in charge then he woulda pulled the trigger after the first promotion. Arguably the second. Just because a manager gets you up, it doesn’t mean he’s gonna keep you there. Farke is the biggest case in point.

Sorry but you’re clutching at straws on all fronts. Irrelevant of who we sign, all money made on Kamara is profit. A league one manager had faith in a player he had to play, and eventually it paid off. Again, I’m not disagreeing with you, would’ve liked to have seen him excel here but there were limited signs of that happening.

I respectfully disagree. I’ve seen him play for Norwich, albeit raw, never an impression made. Obviously the caveats are that he’s young but it also took Pompey the better half if a season to make him work. And how he worked for them won’t necessarily work for our new setup. Also, if a player of his age, without any real test of the first team, feels the need to hand in a request just because we signed a more experienced player, then I’m happy to see them go. It’s all profit, at the end if the day. And we’ll also have a sell on clause in case he does get a big move later. Yes, we didn’t want to sell him, and I would’ve liked to seen him excel here, but that wasn’t to be. So why get upset about it when it has a minimal effect on our club either way. We’ve made a big profit. Job done. Also lets not forget he went there as a striker and came back a right winger after a variety of attempts at Pompey.

Reference: Bali Mumba Your point is correct, we’ve developed a youth player. He no longer wants to play for us and has a year left. His only real long term performance is half a decent season in league one. We now have a very good fee for that. What’s the issue?

Who cares? He wants to go and has never made an impression for us. Whatever Knapper gets is profit.

Jeez. This was just getting interesting with the guys talking about the old Colmans and Mackintosh stories then this drama queen interrupts with another lead balloon.
