Iv always thought this guy has been really good for Pompey and i was very suprised that he was not offered a new contract for next season. IMO i think he would be a great signing.

I know he may be a bit old but i think he has it in him for the fizzy league

and secondly, he will be free as he has no contract.

what do you think?

Pompey have just sold Berger to the Villa.

He would have been a much better option than Stone who IMO is not an option at all

I agree, he has played well all season for Pompey, would add some bite and experience to our midfield and scores a few as well.  Don''t forget he played for England as well.

I''m not so sure.  I live in Pompey and spoke to some Pompey fans on the train on Sunday.  They are very very annoyed that Stone hasn''t got a new contract.  He''s done really well this season apparently and they''ll be disappointed when he leaves.  I think we could do worse than look at Stone

Stone is a class player who could do a very good job on the right for us. You don''t gat a number of England caps without having something to offer.

Yes he did play for England, but that was about 10 years ago

[quote]I think he could be a good, solid experienced midfielder to play with Safri, good buy if we can get him - how old is he?[/quote]

Excellent question Helsinki - I think he is in his early thirties and to be honest I think that is far too old for a championship midfielder.  

However we do need numbers as well as ability and wide right is weak assuming Bents does not sign - depends who else is available out there.

I heard that when he was injured Pompey were desperate to get him fit because they only played well when he was playing. Sounds good to me.

He could be a very good buy short term but would he come here on only a one year contract and if not would we want to pay his wages for a second year when he''s showing his age a bit more and stuggling to keep up, particularly if Norwich are in the premiership then.
