So they won't sell him to us but they will loan him to us when he is in the last year of his contract?

Not only that we are opponents of theirs. Makes no sense to me.

It will probably be a deal like the JCH and the Jones one with a view to buy.

It would give Pompey more time to sort out a replacement if they were trying to get a loan in.

Not sure I'd trust them too much though with the agreement to buy after the loan if he does well.

But if they want a replacement before he leaves why let him go on loan without a replacement?

If he comes as a loan certain he cannot play against his parent club, also if he comes as a loan I think it can become permenant anytime.

They would be stupid not to because he is out of contract summer 2019 so could just walk away.

And we are aiming for promotion just like they are. So why loan him out when they could sell him?

Unless there is a recall clause. Then that would be dodgy for us. He does well.....They call him back.

Didn't they do away with recall clauses? Loans are either until January or for the season now.

Don't know. But wouldn't want a player on form leaving in January either.

It gives them more time to scrat around for a loan and then they can hope they can get him off the wage bill

What we should do is say "yeah get a loan in and we will have him on loan with a view to buy" and just let them do it and move the goalposts like they kept doing...

Perhaps we don't actually WANT to buy him at the moment seeing as we have just spent money on Bakarakayoyoooo.
Smart move from MR if we do get him on loan in my view.

Could it not be a loan with a view to buy in January should we not be able to get anything sorted today?

Robins can be in constant contact with his agent too telling him to reject a contract if we don't manage to pick him up this window then a tribunal fee would be less than for a player under contract. Also there is only a tribunal fee if Portsmouth offer him a contract on improved terms.

DYOR

He has been a zero for me since 2013

All the dealings for me show he won’t dissapear if a better offer comes along which it what he did last time

But if he had been loaded to us with an agreement to buy they would struggle to renegade on that. Firstly the 'agreement' to buy would set a president for a tribunal and also he wouldn't have played in 10 per cent of Portsmouths games. So he could argue his career is better served elsewhere. Jacket has stupidly said he is not in his plans. It's all conjecture anyway.

Must be happening then. So many strikers, not sure how he's going to keep Hiwalu, Chaplin, JCH, Biamou and Bakayoko all happy!

I'm finding it difficult to believe that either Biamou/JCH will be with us by the end of the loan window because someone isn't going to play if Chaplin/Madden are brought in.

But that doesn't explain why they would loan him out rather than sell him if they couldn't recall him. If they sold him they would have more money to get a replacement. And it was said that they needed the money to help fund the replacement.

Yep, Free Radio reporter. Would definitely have contacts in the club but doesn't mean he actually knows anyone is coming in and / or isn't on the wind up.

As O'Brien is shite and we've got a glut of strikers, if Burge is still injured why don't we play rush goalie on Saturday and 4 strikers?

I suspect JCH won't be near the team, maybe a loan move. Then 4 strikers for two spots seems about right.

Or were going 433 and have the same problem with with attacking midfielders.

A front duo of Smith and Brown would bamboozle our BBC radio commentators....
