Why Portsmouth new boy turned down Coventry City and Rotherham United to make Fratton move

Josh Koroma revealed he turned down the chance to remain in the Championship as he targeted a second-tier return with Pompey.

Probably just a case of being guaranteed more football at Pompey. Not like he’s had to take a drop in wages or anything.

Not sure why we’d be in for him though, unless it was dependent on Walker/Waghorn leaving.

Bidwell showed he is also perfectly capable of filling in at LCB (if and when Tayo is up to speed).

Robins is currently undermining Adaramola in the press once every few days at the moment. I’d be amazed if he’s in MR’s plans at all and history suggests that’s not going to change.

You're all probably aware/not bothered, but Danny Cashman has been farmed out to Walsall on loan. Wonder if the boy will come good?

My opinion on this Summer/Transfer window/start to the season:

There was, I imagine, a bit of unsettlement in the camp with rumours, bids and backroom tension over the pitch, lost revenue, escalating running costs (SISU may have been putting the pressure on to sell the talent) and who knows, maybe MR has had to play some serious hard ball to keep his star players and steady the ship behind the scenes. Maybe Hyam was the sacrifice to appease SISU and the money gods.

I genuinely believe that if all is considered, and I've absorbed a lot of what's been stated on here by ITK's, it seems we've actually had a successful transfer window.

Now that all that's done and dusted, it's time to start chewing up the opposition with that team spirit we showed last season. PUSB

This is spot on. Was at Fulham away towards the end of the season . We outplayed, out thought, and out bullied them. I was full of optimism after that game. Record season ticket sales going into this one ...who knew what was about to happen. I can just about handle the pitch debacle and the O'Hare injury but the Owners lack of ambition is the killer blow here .
They haven't given one shred of hope or a rallying cry for the fans . When some on here said at the end of last season we'd reached our ceiling I didn't believe them. Or I just didn't want to believe them.

The team that dominated the best side in the league, at their own stadium is a top six side. We only needed 2 or 3 additions to make that a reality. We have not got that but we still have a great team when we are playing with confidence and not giving goals away. Put 4 more points on our total (which we could have got) and the start looks very different. We need to stick together and not get down as it will translate onto the pitch. Forest were in a worse situation than us last season.

Maatsen
Shipley
Jones

Hilsner (loan)

And we have brought in

Panzo (loan)
Doyle (loan)

Shipley, Jones and Dacosta played last season

Dacosta and Hilsner were signed for the first team.

Pask was signed for the first team played 17 games in the championship the season before last

You could add Bright into it given he was signed, released and not replaced.

Drysdale I will give you.

They were far below the level required and never got a look in in the championship. Do then use them as examples of outgoing players and labelling them as “championship players” is laughable

In fairness to Hillsner a medical condition I assume unknown blighted any chance he had of proving if he was any good or not. Shit luck for him.

I never labelled them as championship players, they were signed to be first team squad players to play in the championship, and thus are/were being paid first team wages. They weren't signed as development players like Cashman, Taveres, Dinanga, etc. They were signed for the first team. The fact that they weren't good enough is down to poor recruitment.

I suppose with our budget, you are always going to have to recruit on potential, and a bunch are not going to make it. A bit like when they take kids on in the U18s and only one or two ever progress. As you move up the food chain, clubs throw bigger amounts on established players and some of those don't work out (Sheff Utd £20m on Rhian Brewster). Nothing is guaranteed,, We all (in the main) wanted rid of the dead wood, and I would argue that is what we have been doing (as per your list). Can't be bothered to find my earlier posts, but I did state I was wary about trying to get JCS due to his injury record, so imo it is only really Maatsen and Hyam we are 'missing' and have Doyle and Panzo to replace, which I am happy enough with. If Bidwell gets injured I would be concerned about how we would reorganise, and it looks as though Kane may have to be integrated back into the squad (if that is at all possible). Think we have reached a point where we need something to happen re: W*sps/our owners to give us potential impetus. Go back a bit to Callum Reilly/Stuart Beavon/Kyel Reid and co, and we've done ok.

Hillsner is rubbish . Anyone could see that in his Rangers friendly debut. Was never going to play at this level . Embarrassing but I'm sure he's enjoyed the wages

For me it's been a poor window. We may have kept the big 3 or 4 but we have weakened the first team and the squad.
Before the season had started we picked up 2 mid to long term injury 's in midfield which has left us down to the bare bones already. We are gambling we don't get anymore. The only position we have decent depth is strikers. With the season pausing in November and the 2 injury's we have in midfield I was surprised we didn't bring in another central midfielder be it as cover or a starter.
With the pitch situation and our poor form, we find ourselves bottom and 5 points from safety already with some very tough fixtures in the next 3 or 4. If that gap becomes 8 or 9 points after those 4 games it's a long, long way back. We need a win from somewhere and I don't care how it comes at the minute.

Wouldn't be surprised. They've had to actually come out and address comments on social media which have come from this forum. That Tynan guy was having a twitter argument with fans yesterday about all the negativity
