Interesting. What is THAT Richard Hughes doing nowadays then that makes him so attractive to Liverpool as a sporting director? good for him but whomever goes into running Anfield post Klopp is going to have some big shoes to fill to keep the locals on side. He speaks Italian chi no lo fa? Su questa...

Thankfully picking Pompey's starting xi for this Saturday's game vs Northampton is quite difficult. Pompey have new players and new formations they can choose from so there are a lot more options than before the window began. This is a must win game really. Barnsley are playing Bolton and a win vs N...

Ultimately, the club said it wanted to exit the transfer window stronger than it went into it. The three permanent outfield signings are tied down to the club for the long term, this means that there is less risky overhauls year on year. I think it demonstrates planning for the future and making si...

I believe it was a young (21 or younger) winger and probably a player playing for a L2 or non-league team. It was badged as 'one for the future' and I suspect that the recall of Ojo from Poole was linked to that transaction so that he could be sent to the Selling Team as a loan player as part of the...

I think the observation that some of these signings are to bolster positions because of injury is an interesting and true observation. Would MPH have been a target if Anjorin and Robertson were fit ....probably not. Allowing teams to address areas of weakness in their squad or to make changes to the...

all the best to him at Grimsby

I hope he gets the games he needs now and his career can get going - it just never worked out for him at Pompey.

Like a few of us in here I appreciated Brickie’s hard work and endeavour more than his finesse 😀 I suspect we paid a decent fee for Owen Moxon as he is on a 3.5 year contract… I’ve watched several you tube clips of him and an interesting interview with Paul Simpson (about Moxon) and I think he will...

All things are not always equal but I find it interesting that Pompey have signed five players in this window (6 if you count Martin re-signing until the end of the season) and have spent an estimated £700k doing so. For this money Pompey sign a GK in Macey under the end of the season, McIntrye as a...

I liked Chris Burns. He made the absolute best of his ability and he gave 100% in every game. Team first, totally committed, midfield grafter. Tony Adams was called a donkey much of his career and he captained England and Arsenal and is a legend in the game. Carlton Palmer was a unicorn: an athletic...

you can't actually fail a medical. What can happen though is that a medical can flag up for example a chronic condition that means that the player is a risk of missing games through having to treat that condition (say cannot play Sat - Tue - Sat regularly) or is at a high risk of breaking down and r...

Basically divides a group into100 parts. If you are in the 98th percentile it means you are in the top 2%. I don't really feel percentile is as such a particularly worthwhile means of assessment as for example making 8 out of 10 attacking passes in a period could result in a high percentile whereas...

thanks Jam Tomoz for the stats. That explains some of the attraction for Pompey. Naturally, Pompey are not going to say exactly why they wanted to sign a player but those collective high percentiles gives a clear indication to me as to perhaps what they want to add to their midfield. I know that one...

Moushino has said tonight is to soon for Lang to start due to the hectic schedule he has had over recent days so I would imagine it's going to be as per Saturday with Kamara continuing on the right wing but Rafferty replacing Devlin at the back I agree - that is what I took away from the interview ...

Interesting viewpoint from a Carlisle fan. Personally, if Peterborough and Blackpool are interested then imho he won't be a bad player - since I feel those two teams in particular recruit well at this level
