Because they want more than we got for mcnultyWhy don’t we go for Eisa aswell ?
Could McNulty get in the Sheff United team? Davies in the Pompey team? Kelly in the Leyton Orient team?Really not happy with gambling such a large sum on a kid who can’t get in the Pompey team.

Stupid argument
For me, Ponti just looks too raw, a very rough diamond if u like, for now and should be sent on loan to get games.All this talk about Chaplin and if he is worth buying or not we have Jordan Ponticelli in our squad who has a better ratio than both Chaplin and Mac on a smaller sample of games .Iif he had got a little run of games I think you will see he can do the job . Much as I am not a great fan of Biamou's the 2 up front could be a good combination . If Ponticelli get decent number of passes into the box he will convert the chances . I think Robin reluctance to play him regular is his age me I think the lad has got what it takes now
I'm organising a baby shower for him as we very speak.Coventry close in on Pompey’s Conor Chaplin
This despite
As said earlier, the fee is very close and it will mean we are satisfied that whatever you are paying us allows us to go and find that different kind of forward. Chaplin has long decided you are where he wants to play. He knows he's going to play for you and although Barnsley could maybe offer more money;
1) Bradshaw has to go
2) He'll have to get the promise of games which with Kieffer Moore and Mamadou Thiam still there isn't a guarantee.
You'll love him imo. Look after him.
Blimey......and in other breaking news....Just realised he's a Mr C Chaplin
Last season we played Biamou who was further away from 1st team standard than Ponticelli is . The kid has got a great eye for an opening.For me, Ponti just looks too raw, a very rough diamond if u like, for now and should be sent on loan to get games.
Any links?According to Twatter. He has rejected us for Barnsley.
It’s not worth it. Accounts that have the usual 50 followers. I’ll take the word of their paper over twitter transfer rumour accounts.Any links?

Every signing represents a risk and this is no different. If Robins is willing to pay a lot of money for Chaplin, then he clearly rates him and thinks he’ll get us goals. That’s his job after all and, as you say, his recruitment has been good thus far. Whilst I disagree with JCH being the exception, I’d say Vincenti and his loanees in January — but our points remain the same nonetheless. This particular transfer target seems like he’d be a decent signing, young and is perhaps in need of a club to take a chance like we did with McNulty. Either way, I trust Robins.
Reading has taken a risk on McNulty because L2 to Championship is a huge step up, hopefully, he’s more le Fondre than Cody McDonald. Personally, I’m not sure if McNulty would’ve hit over 15-17 goals this season and it’s certainly not a guarantee that Doidge or Eisa could make the step-up for the money they’d command. Some players just find their level.
Coventry will sign him. He wants to go to you.True for the rejected us part. but quite a few saying they are looking to sign him
If anybody gets 12 this season they've done alright!Looks like it's happening
Reading pompeu fans thoughts on Twitter and they are gutted . One called him a PL level finisher
He's clearly gonna be good. But question is better than mcnulty? 20 goals thid season would be same as 28 last imo conaidering better league
You are right about Ponti needing passes into the box. There is little or no point in playing him wide on the right which is what happened last season.All this talk about Chaplin and if he is worth buying or not we have Jordan Ponticelli in our squad who has a better ratio than both Chaplin and Mac on a smaller sample of games .Iif he had got a little run of games I think you will see he can do the job . Much as I am not a great fan of Biamou's the 2 up front could be a good combination . If Ponticelli get decent number of passes into the box he will convert the chances .

Sounds like the lad has good adviceCoventry will sign him. He wants to go to you.
All ex-Pompey in 16/17.A 2+2=5 post but Chaplin is following Hyam, O'Brien and Tom Davies.
All ex-Pompey in 16/17.
I'd bank the money and play ponti he will score goals at this level

It was 2.5 + 2.5 = 5. :emoji_thinking:Ah. Well said it added up to 5.
Out of the blue, from the Bues, who cares.I much prefer it when we announce a signing out of the blue. All these negotiations are tiresome!
As much as id love see ponti get a good chance for me he needs go to a league 2 team and get full season behind him show MR he deserves be in the first team, unless he has outstanding pre season and forces his way in then for me MR shouldnt waste time sending him out on loan, i dont want see ponti wasted on subs bench with bit appearances if we bring in CC[/QUOTE}
Last season most of his time was spent on the wing instead of where he can do big damage centrally he only got the equivalent to 7 full games most time probably trying to save a game said before give the guy the ball anywhere in or near the goal and he will make the keeper earn his money . Don't loan him out.
