Guest Sniper1 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Strikers at the moment Madine, Maguire, Pecnik, Lowe, O'Grady, Harewood. 1 in and 1 out or could it be 2 out. Will Harewood get a deal, not sure if he would be a decent/better option from the bench than O'Grady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfmanjack Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 CM signing looks close, Norris? It's reported this morning, that Portsmouth are on the brink of liquidation, and I'm wondering if that's why we keep hearing that we're "monitoring" the Norris situation. If they did get liquidated, presumably that would allow us to sign Norris for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did get liquidated, presumably that would allow us to sign Norris for nothing. Thats a very good point, maybe I'm putting 2 + 2 together but could that be why a lot of the other players such as Varney have not yet been signed by other clubs? Purely because they know in a few weeks that Pompey could go under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did get liquidated, presumably that would allow us to sign Norris for nothing. Was listening to somebody from Portsmouth, one of the coaches I think, saying they have to off load 7 to 8 big earners before 31st July to survive liquidation,sounds like they are going into next season with quite a few development players in the first team if they survive.From what I remember they are hoping some of these big earners will accept their contracts being terminated by mutual consent but receive little or no payment as a result.

tilIdie Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If he is looking for even more strikers it looks like im right about the fact Madine being mostly on bench this season cos if he thought he was good enough we wouldnt need anymore strikers as we already have cover.

Madine will be one of the first names on the team sheet. Why else would he have been given the number 9 shirt? Nothing wrong with having 5 strikers who offer us different options.

Blue and white Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) 1 defender,that has to be Batth. 1 cm surely that's Joey Barton. 3 wingers,MA KT and that trailist from PSG. 1 striker has to be Jay Bothroyd or DJ Campbell. Promotion here we come. Meanwhile back on planet earth ........... Edited July 21, 2012 by Blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, probably right mate, strange situation though because you would think that Pompey would be kicking these players out of the door ASAP. Yet its dragging on and they are still paying these wages and missing out on incoming transfer fees, even if they only get 100k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt it's Portsmouth holding things up; more likely to be players or buyers such as ourselves pursuing Norris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madine is our first choice CF. If i was to pick one player from our squad that is most likely to play in the Premier League in the future it would be Gary Madine.

Nothing wrong with having 5 strikers who offer us different options. There's no guarantee Madine will be around. May need to enter the loan market if the court case goes against him. Personally I think Madine can make the step up to be a good quality Championship striker but perhaps not prolific enough at that level to spearhead a promotion push ( if that's what we're seriously aiming for).

gurujuan Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Snipers right, Madine is one of our biggest assets, though these remaining 5 signings are supposed to be the biggies aren't they? I would imagine all five would be seen as starters and that Madine will be paired with the as yet unsigned striker. Bothroyd/Campbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 There are still a lot of players to add, with season only 4 weeks away. Shame the full squad isnt together for a proper pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 She gets right on my boobies she does? I like her, she's a local lass from Earl Marshall, yeah she's a bit dizzy, but her hearts in the right place. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.
