Anton Walkes
Looks like Anton Walkes is going to be signed on a permanent basis.
In my opinion it would be a good signing, as I thought that he did well whilst he was on loan to us.

I wouldn't disagree with you.

Re: Anton Walkes
I have been quite impressed with Walkes, so I'm quite happy with this signing. He can cover a few positions as well...

Re: Anton Walkes
He's an ok midfielder but a poor right back.

Re: Anton Walkes
Anyone know why Walkes has to return to Spuds when pre season starts ? Everything I’ve read indicates he has definitely singed for us on a permanent deal.

Re: Anton Walkes
Perhaps everything you've read is wrong? The Snooze have never actually said that he has signed, just that it will happen, both clubs and the player want it to happen. Until the ink is on the paper, he's still a Spuds player, and therefore would have to report to their pre-season, not ours.Melbourne Graham wrote:Anyone know why Walkes has to return to Spuds when pre season starts ?

Re: Anton Walkes
Squad shirt numbers have been released and I see that shirt 2 has not yet been allocated to anyone. Is it being saved for someone?

Walkes trained with Pompey last week, the official line being that we were allowed to complete his rehabilitation from the hamstring injury from last season. That's the first time I've seen a loanee's injury being seen to by the loan club, not the parent club, so tbh, I call bulls..t on that.
He has not gone to Ireland, though.

Re: Anton Walkes
The suspicion is that he will do a pre-season tour in the States with Spurs whilst their world cup players are resting and then transfer to Pompey.Locky_McLockface wrote:Could easily be.Berkshire Blue wrote:Squad shirt numbers have been released and I see that shirt 2 has not yet been allocated to anyone.

Re: Anton Walkes
Signed at last and been given the number 2 shirt. Good signing - I liked him at right back, and I think I liked him just as much if not more as a holding midfielder. He is only 21 so it will be interesting to see how he develops.

Re: Anton Walkes
Better in midfield for me. From what I saw of him, his positional sense wasn't great when at RB. He is lightning quick though, and build like a brick **** house so I agree, a good signingBerkshire Blue wrote:Signed at last and been given the number 2 shirt.

Re: Anton Walkes
Significantly better in midfield. He didn't impress me at all as a right back but I guess he has the attributes....just needs to read the game better at RB.Selsey Bill wrote:Better in midfield for me.

Still, he's young and with guidance should develop into a useful squad member.
