Re: Transfer Window: How many will Pompey Sign on Wednesday?
I understand the development of younger players is the planned way for but this signing of someone who seems to be an established 26 year old journeyman league one player seems not to be the case here.Would seem to be a squad player not any better than we have now I hope this isn’t going to be the type of signing we can expect through this windowJack_Tinn wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 9:16 pmUntil Mousinho and Towler arrived Raggett played most of his games for Pompey from the left side of the centre half pairings. The start of last season the back two pairing was Morrison and Raggett. Even when Robertson returned from injury Raggett kept the left hand side and Robertson played left back. I get that he is right footed and that he can play on the right side too but he's played most of his career as a right footed left sided centre half.Pompey55 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 8:09 pmWith respect I’m sorry that’s not the case Raggett is a right sided centre back thus why when Bernard played the later games he was not playedJack_Tinn wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 8:00 pmI think Towler and Raggett are left sided centre backs and Mousinho wants two right sided centre backs: Conor Shaughnessy would be the 2nd of these if Barnard signs and would presumably be an option as first choice centre half if he didn't.Pompey55 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 7:33 pmSaw that BBC Solent saying it’s a done deal he seems to be useful however 26 years old and only 126 games hope he’s not another injury prone playerjam tomorrow wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 7:19 pm Conor Shaughnessy signed free transfer from Burton Centre back
Also right sided centre back so where does that leave the interest in Bernard as surely we don’t need both plus Raggett in that position
I see he's 6'4" and can also play centre midfield . I think it is helpful to have some height for set pieces and his versatility in position is helpful too if (Barnard signs and) he is going to be a regular player for the subs bench.
Last season we started with Raggett right Robertson Left Centre
Then it’s was Towler/Raggett or Towler/Bernard later in the season as Robertson was injured
When Morrison left in Jan he moved over to the right hand side firstly since he can and Robertson can't....and also because Barnard was getting up to speed and overcoming injury. When Towler started Raggs moved over again to accommodate him because he could. Raggs was out of the side when Barnard and Towler were both fit and up to speed because he is 30 years of age and developing younger more technically gifted players is now the direction of travel for Pompey

Re: Transfer Window: How many will Pompey Sign on Wednesday?
I don't recall having seen him play so I will reserve judgment until I do. I'm ok though with Pompey signing a player - even if it is for squad depth - when that player has the upside to become a consistent first team player in case we don't land our no.1 target in their position or in the event of injury, and they are only 26yo and a few years ago were starting for Leeds in the Championship.Pompey55 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 14, 2023 5:56 amI understand the development of younger players is the planned way for but this signing of someone who seems to be an established 26 year old journeyman league one player seems not to be the case here.

I understand your concern but we need to sign 9/10 players to build a squad and sometimes you have to sign the back up before you can sign the starter.

Does the transfer window fly open? Because when it closes it always 'slams shut' according to the media.

Re: Transfer Window: How many will Pompey Sign on Wednesday?
To be fair as mentioned when you basically have to build a new squad we cannot afford to fork out fees for every player I'm hoping incoming players will be a mixture of free agents together with players we have signed for a fee. However I would have liked us to have started this transfer campaign with a notable signing which underlined our ambition and intent to get the promotion we are aiming for.Jack_Tinn wrote: ↑Wed Jun 14, 2023 7:02 amI don't recall having seen him play so I will reserve judgment until I do.

Re: Transfer Window: How many will Pompey Sign on Wednesday?
I too think they will approach this as a mix of free signings and players signed for a fee. I don't mind what order they come in, I just want the club to get the permanent signings they want in as early as possible.
I think it really helps Pompey to sign the keeper(s) they need early before pre-season starts so that he can build a rapport with the 'back four' as quickly as possible. Build from the back is never a bad way to go.

Re: Transfer Window: How many will Pompey Sign on Wednesday?
I’ve said it before but the first 5 games of the season carry the same points as the last 5. Getting the squad ready early is highly desirable in my book.
The keeper and defence point is well made. I may be mis remembering but I think Chelsea early in the new regime signed Marcel Desailly the day before the season started. He made a couple of errors in the first match, which they lost, possibly against Coventry.
He was outstanding for the rest of the season but I think they lost the league by 2 points.
Keep the signings coming .

Re: Transfer Window: How many will Pompey Sign on Wednesday?
To be fair the club have said all along that their strategy is a blend of youth and experience. I think one of the things we saw last year is we didn't have enough quality depth in the squad.Pompey55 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 14, 2023 5:56 amI understand the development of younger players is the planned way for but this signing of someone who seems to be an established 26 year old journeyman league one player seems not to be the case here.Would seem to be a squad player not any better than we have now I hope this isn’t going to be the type of signing we can expect through this windowJack_Tinn wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2023 9:16 pmUntil Mousinho and Towler arrived Raggett played most of his games for Pompey from the left side of the centre half pairings.

I know they are different positions but we have so far shipped out a 25 year old with not many appearances for a fee, for a 26 year old with many more appearances for free.
8 or 9 more to go...

Shaughnessy confirmed: So that's two signed on opening day. Is there a third?
RHF departed today too.

Re: Transfer Window: How many will Pompey Sign on Wednesday?
Apparently there is a third too!!
Christian Saydee signs on a 3 year deal. At this rate we will have a full squad by the weekend. Wow, I seem to remember Cowley and Co were really slow out of the blocks last year and it was making a lot of people nervous.
Hughes and Mousinho are motoring: Four deals completed on the opening day with RFH sold to Lincoln.

Saydee is the sort of player we would have loaned last season on the basis of his age and experience. This is where our strategy has changed hopefully nothing but good will come from it?

Re: Transfer Window: How many will Pompey Sign on Wednesday?
Is this not a clear indication that the new recruitment strategy is working in that they had clearly identified their targets early and moved to sign their targets as soon as possible
I think and hope that this will continue over the coming weeks

All these signings are important but the one I am looking forward to getting in the most is THE ATTACKING MIDFIELDER we desperately need !!!
