Tino confirmed, but only till January

[Selsey Bill]

Potentially begs the question that he would rather have gone elsewhere?

[Pompey1984+1]

I think it might be more to do with where Chelsea want him.

[Pompey55]

Maybe it's us banking on Yengi. and Lowery being fit by then or they want to get him match fit and ensure he is fully recovered from his injury before deciding if they want him playing at a higher level than us later in the season
Either way it is not in my opinion satisfactory as we could be looking for a replacement in January as at present bout midfield is pretty poor overall when it comes to creativity as has been evident over the last few games

where is this confirmed please? It is not on the OS and not confirmed by news outlets yet either.

It was all over X earlier. Definitely a done deal though

[Betelgeuse]

Has he signed yet? Nothing on OS.

[Mickemo]

Just announced on official website

[Berkshire Blue]

Apparently signed on a season long loan deal, not just till January, although I expect they have a recall clause.

Just seen that. They have changed their tune since yesterday as it was definitely only until January when they were going to review.

[Pompey55]

Maybe it's going to be a case of play him or we recall him in January probably will the the same with Robertson which will give Moushino a conundrum does he play one or both together,alternate them of see who performs the best then play him
Personally I think at home it's worth trying option one with just one defensive midfield player if he persists with 4-3-3

[Pompey1984+1]

I think there is room for both him and Robertson in the team at the expense of either Morrell or Pack. Not in every game but certainly some.

[Selsey Bill]

I heard this morning that Mous went for Robertson because he didn't think he was going to get Tino. That must mean he rates Tino more highly. Anjorin is 4 cm taller than Robertson, looks far stockier, and is 18 months older. He has also played in the Championship, and scored a few goals. All of that should help. I'd personally like to see both in our team as I believe Pack and Morrell are the root cause of our lack of creativity or penetration higher up the pitch.

I agree with regards to Pack / Morrell. Both are good control it and play it off types of footballers. Mostly 2 or 3 touches at a time. You won't often see one of them ping a ball 30 or 40 yards in behind.

I think Morrell plays better without Pack as we saw back end of last season.

I think it's a good point regarding physicality as it was obvious against Stevenage that Robertson was frequently out musculed by their players

Very good interview. Like the fact that he says this is a pivotal moment in his career. It could be in our season too!!
