The Pompey Chimes Forum

that has got to hurt!! Losing your 16 goal striker when you are pushing for promotion.....hope it goes well for the young man but he better not rush back to Weirside and expect a warm welcome.

on one hand good to see a young english striker go overseas to further his development...and good news you'd think for Pompey in the race for automatic promotion but seems strange for a 20 year old to pack up his stuff and walk out of the locker room and basically say I'm done here. Perhaps he is high opinions of himself and isn't much of a team mate or perhaps all is not well in the state of Sunderland?

Or perhaps he just saw the opportunity to exchange the weather in the North East of England for the South West of France...

With Bordeaux, he has the chance to play against top class opposition, presumably with a pay increase, and he doesn't have to live in Sunderland.

No-brainer, surely?
