IF Armstrong was available for around 750k mark (unsubstantiated figure) I'd be pushing for that big time with the owners.
Guaranteed goals and better than MM imo.
No need for further buys.
Anyhows, can't see it and can't see AA wanting L1 team again.

Why? What is the obsession with ex players?

He’d score 20+ at this level (not that he’d end up back here) not like the poster mentioned Carl Baker.

He's on 15k a week at Newcastle Blackburn couldn't afford his wages and they are in the championship so we definitely couldn't afford his wages

This was covered on BBC South Today down here. I wasn't really listening to the news until I heard the words "Coventry City"...… Wondered why they were being talked about on the local South news!

If we are spending this much on him I can’t see us getting anyone else in. I think even £500k is a lot for a league 1 player in the final year of his contract. Especially one who hasn’t been a regular starter...and I think he’s good!!

I wonder if Doyler is the one pushing for this lad to come in?
He will know his potential from his time at Pompey and I know he's good at encouraging young players

I’m sure Robins would’ve asked his opinion at least.

It is up to you Nick. I’d leave him personally as he’ll soon get bored.i think His main targets are the telegraph and Facebook users who are biting i imagine.

My gut feeling is our limit is something in the region of 150K up front with add ons.

Given the owners approach to finance I think its highly unlikely we'd sign a striker that will go for around £400K.

I've seen a few Portsmouth fans posting on social media that they're confident Chaplin will go this week, however the news is reporting that our bids are being turned down. Unsure of whether we will or not to be honest, suppose all we can do is wait and see.

Say we did pay £500k for him or someone else, when was the last time we paid that amount of money for someone?

Obviously you mean transfer fees, but I believe that was Doyles weekly wage during his first stint with us

We paid similar for Jones and Turnbull. JCH didn't come cheap either.

We paid nowhere near 500K for any of those players.

Cody McDonald I would say would be our biggest outlay for a long time. Jones was reportedly £100k. Turnbull was about £50k.

To keep forum posters busy during the summer?

Bit annoying tbh, no idea what to believe and I keep checking this thread to see if there are any concrete updates.

He was out of contract so in terms of transfer fee he was very cheap!
