Then Pompey obviously have way too much money.

Because if they are paying over a million for someone in league one it is likely for them to be first choice.

Would just be nice to get someone in so they can have a bit of a pre-season with us.

Reports on the Portsmouth side say so but nothing from our side (as you'd expect).

I think you mean McWankty.

Exactly. He fits our system, he doesn't really fit theirs.

If Robins believes he is the right man to replace McNulty, that's what matters. They won't be looking at stats or whether his current club value him, they'll be looking at the talent and potential that he has. At the end of the day they will have way more knowledge of the player than any of us...

Fair enough, bit his goals per minute ratio is not dissimilar to McNulty when he joined. I like Ponticelli but we need someone else too.

Let's not be hysterical. There will be at least a striker come in and I wouldn't be surprised to see more.

Mostly from the bench in a system that doesn't suit him though.

What time is/was kick off?

Don't think they were serious. Will have a look for the article in a bit. Was one of the interviews with Robins I think.

Yeah, injury. There was an article the other day.

Sounds like this was a recruitment team/development staff decision rather than Robins himself. It's a good thing to do, if it works out you can make money down the line, if not it hasn't cost much.

All I'm saying is it doesn't necessarily kill the atmosphere. Those that want to be involved will stay as close as they can and it may draw others in. Overcrowding isn't what creates an atmosphere. I suspect those stands will still be pretty full. Wasn't necessarily aiming the bit about blaming...

I don't imagine you pay that amount in league one if he isn't going to be the main man.

Depends what Sunderland are paying I suppose.

Bringing back memories.

It won't necessarily kill the atmosphere, it could improve it by moving those who want to sing to other areas. It's disappointing but if people sat where they were supposed to in the first place this wouldn't have happened. I wish people would stop blaming the club for this. They're guilty of...

I'd guess Sunderland are after 2 strikers. They are completely overhauling their squad to try to reduce the wage bill.
