Bloxwich Owl Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Pompey have completed the signing of 25-year-old defender Connor Ogilvie. He has put pen to paper on a two-year-deal – with the club option of a further 12 months – after leaving Gillingham at the end of last season.

Wouldn’t have minded him at Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 We where linked with him earlier in the summer and I still don’t think he has gone anywhere but I wouldn’t mind us bringing in Akin Odimayo as a defensive option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I wonder if we've managed to convince Johnson by offering him a longer deal than the Championship clubs in for him. At his age he'll be looking for as long a deal as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Green cost anything. He scored a good goal in a preseason friendly. He gets into good positions, which is a start, but he needs to make better decisions inthe final third. Hopefully DM will make him a better player, if not we've plenty of options now. Let's be positive and supportive. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toooldforthis Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 It looks like Moore is putting a team together that can not only do well this season but one to build on the momentum created if we do win promotion for next season. Something just feels right at the club now. It feels even more positive than when Carlos was here (it could be that it's been so bad this past 4 years that anything would feel great)...I hope it translates into success.

Hope it’s just paper talk I don’t know anything about this lad. But I’m sure you do given he played for Aberdeen. Take it you don’t rate him? Must admit, I would be looking at someone with a bit of pace and movement up top as the Wolves lad looks like he will be playing out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never singled him out on a fans forum btw open to debate I merely suggested how I think some of our fans abs posters will react to him this season as they have no patients and are quick to critique I stand by that too. Some on here think that every single player should be World Cup winners under 30 and never had an injury oh and if you okay up front you must have a score ratio of 2 in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted feedback from one of my best mates who is an Aberdeen ST holder a wee while ago. He’s not the bitter type like some of the Hibbies posting about Kamberi. Will always give an honest assessment. First thing he said “A cart horse” He said Cosgrove’s goal tallies were vastly inflated by his penalty kicks, he started well with them and looked a real find, but he said he was pretty much dogshite towards the end of his spell there. I believe he scored one goal from open play for them in the calendar years 2020 to 2021. I guess we need a battler in the box in this league but I don’t particularly rate him. 10 minutes ago, Adem Poric said: He's available on loan and we were after him in January, feels like a bit of a guess from the papers when they know we need a centre forward.

Prefer Kamberi? I heard a few weeks ago whispers of us being very keen on him however he’s been injured during pre-season so this has stalled our interest. Also saw at the weekend Paul Warne saying they’ve missed out on a striker to their local rivals and that Alan Nixon said them/us were looking at him. Might be a 2+2=5… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be 30% of his goals are from pens Still 38 goals in 2 seasons at Aberdeen We have also got to remember we are league 1 now so he may be good enough for this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsleyowl1996 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Hope we don’t get cosgrove then , I genuinely think we have enough to start the season with , kamberi n Paterson with Theo able to play there . Rather not rush it , windass be back approx late September early October all being well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I don't know enough about Cosgrove to make a judgement, have to trust the judgement of our recruitment team and Moore, given he was linked before, they must rate him. My concern remains fitting in 6 loans, I just don't see how it works. As for attributes, we've just signed pace a plenty up front, particularly wide areas, maybe what we are lacking is a big lump, for plan B. Also, having another penalty taker may not be such a bad thing after Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
