What news is this?

20 goals absolute minimum or he’s shit.

Fun fact: I had jokingly put a 10p bet with my mate that he’d get injured that game... My PE teacher, a sister of an ex-academy player back then knew Danny Ireland quite well. Apparently that injury messed him up big time.

Shamefully, we’ve all done this cheat at least once in our FM lives... ... Danny Ireland made a great reserve GK for Man City...

We could waste money on any old striker to keep the fans happy. But, we have to be patient and wait for the right man to come in. Making rash decisions is how you end up spending £1m on McKenzie, £1.25m for Eastwood or £600k on Kevin Kyle. Even if we didn’t get a striker when the deadline...

Would be a good signing, but, it’d be preferable to sign Chaplin in fairness. If he wants a move, he ought to force it.

That obviously wasn’t the plan. Portsmouth haven’t been able to get their men either, hence the delay in this transfer. The way people are presenting this scenario, you’d think transfers are easy to get done, they’re not. For one game, it’s not the end of the world going in to the new without...

Freddy Eastwood: the best striker we’ve had in the last 12 years. Wait, that’s not how transfer fees work...

Portsmouth are playing a dangerous game here. £400k for a player who doesn’t start and is out of contract at the end of this year is a very fair deal. If the player doesn’t get first team football, by January his value will half. It also seem Portsmouth are dependent on any fee for a replacement...

Height isn’t the be all and end all, there’s a host of world class defenders under 6”. It’s about being able to outjump and outmuscle your opposite man. Davies is our most aggressive player by a distance in the way he attacks the ball from set pieces and so on.

Davies is a unit, McDonald was bullied by bigger strikers. The best examples being v Cambridge and Luton.

Ponticelli wasn’t even at an acedmy at 18, Chaplin has made 100+ appearances... Age is just a number, experience is more important.

We also need to stop playing out wide. He doesn’t appear to have any outstanding attributes for that role. He needs a chance to play upfront.

We signed JCH after our FA Cup run got a bit more money into the coffers to make that deal. If rumours are to be believed, we structured the JCH deal so it’d come under this season’s FFP as opposed to last season’s. So no, Biamou’s wages wouldn’t have made up 300k for Collins. That’s a...

This is a must-win game for Robins.

The budget was pushed to the limit signing 12 or so free agents, where was the money coming from for a £300k striker? If we signed Collins, it would’ve been unlikely we could’ve also signed McNulty and probably Andreu too. The way you’re talking about not signing Collins is as if we live in a...

Fair enough on the James Collins stats. In retrospect, why would signing Collins have ‘meant business?’ He cost (about) £300k and McNulty scored more goals and in more games than Collins. Assuming we signed him, 300k is a lot out of the budget which meant we would’ve had less budget to play with...

Collins signed for £200-300k last season IIRC. He’s not worth a penny more than that for him and it’s highly doubtful Luton would sell him for anything less than about £300-500k and his record in L1 hasn’t been anything to rave about, correct me if I’m wrong. As for Stockley, he’s also wanted...

Robins’ first choice replacement for McNulty is Chaplin, where money is not the problem, but rather dependent on Portsmouth find a replacement. So he does have the money to replace him... By ‘replace him effectively’, people like yourself think buying an Eisa, Marquis or Doidge who will all...

Maddison money will presumably go on ensuring we breakeven/make a profit. It seems a lot of people have forgotten we’re in millions of debt. 30% of £1.2m is £400k which is what we’re rumoured to be spending on Chaplin. In the case of this transfer, money isn’t the problem, Portsmouth aren’t...
