I can't see the club entertaining a loan, as they mention in that article. He's got 3 years left on his deal so if he wants to leave, Pompey or whoever else will need to stump up around 3-4m, at least.

Looked a promising player in patches but fell off badly in the second half of the season.

He is a very talented and promising player, but as you say selling him for Ł3m-Ł4m would be good business.

I'm guessing, though, that Portsmouth would be hoping to steal him for less than we paid. There will be an assumption (misaprehension?) that a relegated team is under pressure to sell.

He desperately needs a season at this level

Some changes to the backroom staff according to Glen Williams:

"Cardiff City head of performance Jonny Northeast has left the club to pursue an opportunity in Turkey.

Another member of the first-team staff gone. Club working on getting another coach in to bolster Brian Barry-Murphy’s back room staff - hopefully movement on that next week."

Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread

So Northeast has gone south then?

We've been linked to this player on social media - his contract with Everton runs out tomorrow.

Doesn't have a Wikipedia page it seems despite him having come on as a sub in a Premier League game apparently.

From toffeeweb.com - "Matty Apter had terrible luck with injuries, managing just 1 (PL2) start with 6 more as a sub."

Yep, our kind of signing, straight on the treatment table

I'd have thought a young midfielder is the last thing we need to sign. Other than J.Colwill and King hoping for game time we have Twose, Perrett and Mafico.

It would be a strange signing

Probably another one of those odd signings we make for the u21s that never go anywhere

He's promising but not really shown that he can play at Championship level consistently

No, I missed the 2 after Premier League - he does seem more of a signing for the under 21s.

Something tells me we’ll be seeing more of these stories next season…

Thankfully, Jonny Northeast has left his position as Head of Physical Performance :shrug: but it would be good to get some spotlight on Chris Lewis and Liam Donovan this season. They’re the first team physios and I’d be interested in the types of individual programs they have for the players because last year wasn’t right.
