Why would he want that though when he's been explicitly quoted saying that he probably needs to let Chaplin go in order to bring in a better quality of player?
Maybe that's what he wants?
If the player really wants the move surely he and his agent will force it through. Like our departing players do. He must be getting pissed off being a pawn in this shit Kenny Jackett game of football transfer chess.
It's such a difficult scenario to predict
I personally think we are treating Chaplin appallingly in this whole thing. The lad has made it clear if he's not to be a regular, then he wants to go somewhere where he is. He's a homegrown talent and a Pompey fan, and whilst we are obviously prepared to let him go to get a different type of forward, the way we have left him in limbo is shocking. At the very least, he deserves a quick resolution one way or another, and he's clearly made his mind up to join you because he will get football.
Pompey need a different type of forward and Chaplin needs to play - and a fair fee has been agreed. Whilst I understand KJ not wanting to let him go until we've got another body in the door, the club have been ridiculous in terms of how we've not got our own transfer target properly sorted out. CCFC are within rights to walk away here to be honest because you'll want somebody in ASAP to get ready for the new season. The kid deserves better than a state of limbo though, and I suspect it's only his Pompey blood that's not making him kick up more of a stink.
Reality as I understand it though is that Cov are happy to wait because Robins thinks he's the man, and he knows Pompey have the money to replace him with somebody. We've got a similar situation with Anton Walkes going on at the moment, where a fee is agreed with Spurs, but they need to get a couple of bodies back from the WC before they'll sanction the sale.
And his cousin, Smokin.
Well, I had been thinking what all this means for Allassani? He looks a similar type of player. I assume Robins sees him as a winger?Can't see it going on for too much longer, it will get to the point Robins will move on and start looking at others.
The question is, who else is there in that mould?

Tbh so had I but I think he can play ‘up top’. Maybe this gives the team a bit more flexibility.I always assumed Allassani would be more of a Wide Player, wonder if he will be able to do a job up front with Biamou or JCH?
Other than that, with Andreu just behind him and Sterling / Brown down the wings he might get some service.

I think, generally we seem to have a few players who can play in more than one position.

Any one thought much about Charlie Wyke... had a good season with Bradford got league one experience. Sunderland after him for 600k.....PUSB
He's a big lump, Chaplin is a Will o' the Wisp - completely different type of player, aren't they?
Agreed. I’d feel happier if we have a more proven option up front. Hopefully it will be Chaplin as I’ve liked him for some time. If it’s not, we’ll have to hope we haven’t put all our eggs in one basket in pursuing him.The only thing is the transfer window, Robins has to be sure that he can cut it up front as if he can't then it's January before he can do anything. That's also a much harder window.

He's a target man I think, already have Biamou / JCH.

Apparently Sunderland have now also bid for Eisa. This could go one of two ways... Either force Jackett's hand to raise some funds... or make him decide to keep Chaplin.
He may be too expensive but Nicky Clarke at Dundee looks fairly decent and does score goals. Could be worth a punt if others dont fall into place
I'd like to his Highlights before making it a PERManent signing.He may be too expensive but Nicky Clarke at Dundee looks fairly decent and does score goals. Could be worth a punt if others dont fall into place

where would you choose to live the south coast or that shit hole called the North East he lives not too far from Portsmouth nowI can't see Portsmouth beating Sunderland's offer.
Is Eisa Jackett's sole target, he must have a 2nd choice in mind.
Well he could always live on the North Yorkshire Moors, or he could head for Durham... or even Lindisfarne if he liked.where would you choose to live the south coast or that shit hole called the North East he lives not too far from Portsmouth now
Durham & Chester-le-Street are OK aren't they?where would you choose to live the south coast or that shit hole called the North East he lives not too far from Portsmouth now
