Tough one on a striker. If they're proven it'll cost upwards of £10m (pre-covid, anyway), so realistically we've got to take a bit of a punt. Like the idea of a PL loan, like this guy from Wolves. They can then push Godden who should be our starting striker. Confidence is everything for a striker, a good start and I think Godden can get 15 next season.

I think we lack goals in the rest of the team though. We didn't score too many last season, and our success was built on dominating possession and a watertight defence.

Gnanduillet is 28, has never played above League One level and has only hit double figures twice in his career. Not for me.

Did well the season before last but was shunted out wide and fell out with his manager. If anybody can get the best out of him it would be Robins.

Well he's an ex City player so that will be enough to convince many on here that we should sign him up

I watched the highlights of the Wigan-Hull game and the lad who scored a hattrick caught my eye, Kieran Dowell on loan from Everton, made intelligent runs, good passes, strikes a ball nicely, found space. Definitely a player the club should take a closer look at.

Good player but think we're pretty well stacked in the No.10 / Attacking Midfield roles now.

I agree, but I do think he looks a cut above the current crop bar O'Hare, there's also other areas of the squad that need attention first.

Seamus1 · Jul 18, 2020

Sorry if this name has already been mooted on this thread (I really cannot be bothered going through 18 pages), but if Brentford go up, how about looking at Marcus Forss? 11 goals in 19 games for AFC Wimbledon last season

Charlie McCann from Utd. Was with our youth system and plays DCM, perfect cover to Kelly??

Obviously I’m on about a loan deal

Sky Blue Pete · Jul 18, 2020

Can’t believe there’s not more rumour

Prob a bit young still but certainly one I'm sure we're keeping an eye on in case he becomes available in a year or two.

Decided to have a quick look at his Man U profile and while doing so noticed they literally have Sideshow Bob in theri youth team!

Player profile: Hannibal Mejbri

Midfielder signed from Monaco towards the end of the summer transfer window in 2019.

He's fucking good as well, they spent about 4.5 million on him at 16

I’ve liked the look of Cameron McGeehan from Barnsley, currently on loan at Pompey. Thought he looked good against us and was really impressed with him in Pompey’s playoff semi finals. Big, strong, centre mid, and can pick a pass. seemed to have evolved into Pompey’s playmaker. Was also really good at breaking down attacks. Looked too good for league 1.

From what I read on their message board, Portsmouth fans thought differently. The consensus seemed to be that he huffs and puffs but offers nothing creative. The fact that Barnsley were happy to release him on loan also suggests the Championship is too high a level for him. Doesn't really matter anyhow as midfield is somewhere we are overloaded with players, and I'm sure MR is focusing on a left (wing) back and striker before bringing in any other midfielders.

My Pompey season ticket holding parents thought he looked decent and think that’s the consensus of others they’ve spoken with.
He may, or may not be good enough for Championship. It’s a question that was asked when we’ve talked about him. He’s certainly looked really good when I’ve seen him.
Sorry to disagree but I think a big, tough tackling, ball playing centre mid will be something we will definitely need.

Legia Sky Blue · Jul 20, 2020

Don't disagree that we might need that type of player at some point, but I thought Portsmouth severely lacked any quality when i saw them, and that he was a big part of that. Its all about opinions of course, as we were clearly watching the same games and drawing different conclusions, but the only one whose opinion matters ultimately is MR's, and I presume we are both happy with that.

Absolutely. And you’re right there’s clearly questions to be asked if he’s been let go by Barnsley. I just thought he was the stand out player for them vs Oxford, in the 2nd leg at least. Having said that Oxfords young centre back looks decent...
I give up on my scouting mission!

SleepyGinger · Jul 20, 2020

I’d like Harry Pickering from Crewe, highly rated left back only 21, think few teams will be sniffing around though

Never had heard of him but Fuck he looks fantastic! Only a year left on his contract too from looking at transfermarket

Standout lower league full-back identified as a potential target for Liverpool – CaughtOffside

The thought had crossed my mind. If someone could just unlock that head of his, and get him playing like he can, he'd be fantastic. The sad truth is I don't think anyone will be able too, that's why I would not sign him.

Sure Fergie said he was the most gifted youngster he ever saw coming through United. Always been the question mark over his mentality towards the pro game.

He's one of the ones who will look back on his football career and wonder what could of been.

Any players we can pinch from Ull, Charlton or Wigan now they’ve gone down??

jordan210 · Jul 22, 2020

Saw one of the rubbish twitter accounts had linked us with an Arsenal youth player. Not sure who it was mind you

Didn’t look too many decent players from Ull on today’s performance. Batty looked ok...

Kevin Stewart from Hull would be a decent signing

From page 13;

Frostie said:
He's on £17k per week at the minute, Hull had the option to extend but he'd get an automatic increase to £20k if triggered.

Think he will probably want more than we would be looking to offer.

Dadashov tomorrow?

Amazing no one clicked Giles was 1 of the 2
