Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

Re: Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

Injured Collins, O'Dowda and Simpson?

I wouldn't call that "pretty stocked".

O'dowda + collins first choice options

Simpson and Ralls (if LWB) cover if needed

Bagan as well if they offer him another contract.

There are far more urgent positons to fill

Portsmouth keen on signing Cardiff winger Gavin Whyte. Pompey boss John Mousinho hopes relationship with old teammate can lure him to Fratton Park. Northern Irishman eyed by other League One clubs including ex-club Oxford United #Pompey #portsmouth #OUFC #Oxford #cardiffciity

Your dead right. I know for a fact that O'Dowda only does it to help out. Waste of a good winger.

Collins is coming back off a serious injury; still have the pace for LWB rather than LCD?
O'Dowda can play there sure but we lose something going forward.
Simpson? Backup central defender, LB? Please god no.
Ralls? Ehhhhh.... at a pinch, sure.

Bagan? If we offer a new contract, having been frozen out and the likes of Simpson et al used, do you seriously think he'd want to stay here? Better off dropping a division and actually playing.

Or "stocked" LB spot has one LB coming off a serious injury and people who at a inch can fill in but aren't naturals at the position. That is literally the antonym of "stocked".

We need another LB to come in.

Collins, O'Dowda, Bagan. Simpson & Ralls at a push. Could we do with someone? Sure, but there are more pressing worries.

We have 3 centre backs going into next season in McGuinness, Ng & Simpson. We have 2 who can play right wing back (Romeo and Ng), that needs work before we look at the left side of defence. An injury to Romeo and all of a sudden we need to change the whole defensive shape (I very much doubt Lamouchi would play Campbell), the same isn't true of the left flank. Centre back and right back should be more of a priority

McGuinness, Ng, Simpson, Denham with possibly Benjamin also as backup not to mention Collins. Could play 3 or 2.

RWB? As you say, Romeo, Ng. Maybe at a pinch Semenyo.

LB is Collins and then take one of our best attackers out of the equation.

I prefer to get my best players on the pitch, I'd have Ng-McGuinness-Collins at the back with Romeo and O'Dowda as wingbacks, O'Dowda focusing more on getting forward, so at times Romeo slots back and Collins across to the LB role to cover.

I'd say midfield and attack is a higher priority due to our lack of goals.

Re: Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

We need players all over the pitch. From goalkeeper to striker. All positions and clearing out as many as possible.

I doubt we will get Bryan but hes a major upgrade on what we have.

Re: Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

Hope it’s not too much of a clear out, they’ll be asking us to dust our boots off. How are we going to replace any players that we bin? Lamouchi, or whoever’s boss, will have some job wheeling & dealing in our circumstances and, as been mentioned, what’s the situation with bringing in EU nationals given the our wonderful country’s ridiculous Brexit?

So if we go down its James fault?

Re: Transfer Rumours | Summer 2023

We can still pay decent wages, particularly if Tan loosens the purse strings as we cant pay fees. Decent loans may be more difficult.

According to Stewart Lee there are only two types of people who voted for Brexit, racists & c*nts. Take your pick:hehe:

True but I can't see any purse string loosening as I believe Tan is possibly forking out over £1m a month just to keep the club afloat.

Worrying, as on the those figures the club just isn’t viable.
