Very vague, wishy washy response, that is not grounded in facts at all. Have we signed quality in good quantities. Players we’ve signed who’s experienced promotion from L2: - Doyle (Pompey) - McDonald (N’hampton) - Vincenti (Rochdale) - Davies (Pompey) - Liam O’Brien Players we’ve signed...

Why don’t you address my points? We’ve signed 15+ players, completely rebuilt a squad that is good enough to compete with the top 3 in this division - it’s our results against the FGR’s of this league that’s derailing our efforts. We have had injuries to our best players, most notably Jones...

Exactly. I think promotion this season has to be the target. But, this is a squad assembled over two transfer windows and we’ve sustained a lot of long term injuries. Whereas our competitors have been building over the course of several seasons. If our team from last year was half up to...

What did you expect from this January window? It’s all well and good saying it was a ‘missed opportunity’, but how so? In January, all prices are inflated, all free agents are far from match fit, so your most realistic options are loans. What did we need to do? Two midfielders, to replace...

Why are we judging players who’s appearances we can’t even count on one hand? Plenty of time left for them to grow into their roles.

I’m not saying he’s any good at it. But from Barrett’s and I think Robins’ comments too, he was signed as a left winger who can play across midfield.

It’s exactly like MR’s first spell. However, we’ve had a run of tough games so I would’ve probably taken a draw tbf - disappointed with a loss though.

Him being injured for so long has dented our promotion chances, without a doubt. The one thing this team has needed is goals from midfield. Jones and Andreu, I reckon would get between 15-20 goals between them. He’s also played with both JCH and McNulty. However, I do think him being injured...

Kinda get what the OP said, in a thread about Biamou, someone quoted my post and said ‘is Biamou a Dion Dublin or Cyrille Regis? NO’, or something of that affect. I’m 23, and I’ve never seen us play a game in the Prem not against Villa so I don’t really consider us a Prem team, but I think we...

That had slipped past me. Apologies for spreading fake news. What a tit Kyel Reid has been, wants to leave because we get relegated to L2 and alienated himself from a team vying for promotion. Then ends up at a mid table team in the same league, alienates them, and is in a position where he...

Is it? I was under the impression that was only for loans, not free agents? Maybe I’m wrong.

No, because he’d be a free agent so could sign for whomever. The player isn’t going to agree to leave the club until he has a club to go to, and there were a couple of clubs interested in him apparently.

Personally, I think he’ll agree to go to another L2 club and we’ll terminate his contract by mutual consent.

The difference being that Cardiff we’re buying a championship player on deadline day, whereas Bournemouth were buying a league 1 player the summer. Secondly, I never said it was a good thing selling Wilson, I said that £3m + sell on was a fair fee. Assuming a the sell on % is between 10-20%, we...

We tried that and Craig Davies would rather be in a relegation dog fight with Oldham than us... So, realistically, who can we get? The same people expect us to spend big fees on the likes of Akinde, Doige or some other big scorer in our league. It’s just not realistic.

You’re talking in retrospect because since Wilson has left us and he’s done very well. But here’s some things to consider: - the club had just out of administration the summer before - Wilson was 22, so a much older prospect than Alli - and Alli is one of the best players in the prem right now -...

He needs to develop in the U23s, it’s no good giving him 15-20m here and there, or worse, not getting any game time.

Considering Dele Alli commanded a fee of 5m, and we sold Wilson for 3m, I don't think that's 'next to nothing'. And this was off the back off one blistering season, before that season he'd shown little evidence he'd be any good, in fact, Pressley had said in a preseason game he 'wanted to rip up...

The transfer window is done and dusted, so I'm curious as to what people's opinions are on how we've got on this window. In short, I think we've done quite well, I'd rate our dealings as a 7/10. I think we needed to replace Jones and Andreu as best as possible, and I think the two young loanees...

My first impression this is a very good signing. A young, (hopefully) hungry striker with a chance to prove he's good enough to play for this club after being released in 2012. He's an archetypal striker we were looking for and has pedigree in higher leagues. I don't have many concerns about his...
