  • I wonder why, if the player has signed, the announcement is being held back ? Player still abroad perhaps. Seems a bit odd to delay good news doesn’t it ?
    A very long and drawn out reveal video?
    If it is Holsgrove, he’s potentially our biggest deal of the summer and definitely NJ’s number one target. 
    So the comms team will want to go to town on the news.

    One or more of:

    International clearance required

    Deal agreed but not signed.

    Subject to medical

    Player side agreed but not club

    Club side agreed but not player

    Alli hasn't recorded his video yet

    could it be anything to do with the end of the month re contracts?

    If it’s a player from abroad there might be work permits etc to sort that we have to wait for before announcing
    Would expect this is probably the answer. Few boring bits to get done tomorrow and over the weekend. 
  • Gianni infantino. Definitely a right winger, plus said he'd pay 20 million to the club to get it done
  • Pompey journos suggesting that they've agreed a fee for Kamara, he's keen on the move but its his agent stopping it 
  • Welcome Simone Churchini, Italian centre mid.

    I’d bet it’s a combo of permits etc and scheduling. Permits could be sorted tomorrow but then there’s a game Saturday and the media team will need to write the profile and edit all the content etc and so it makes sense to delay it if you think it won’t leak. Grant had his haircut a few days before it was officially announced

    I've just had my haircut, can officially confirm that I'm signing on Monday

    If that’s the reason we can rule out Holsgrove can’t we ? He’s Scottish and wouldn’t need a work permit

  • I know for a fact that Kamara was desperate to go back to Pompey before he went to Hull permanently.

    Seems as if Kamara is desperate for the Pompey move over us. Honestly a little tired of it all at this point, especially given Hull fans don’t seem to rate him and Pompey fans are even torn on him coming back to them. 
    If we have a good alternative lined up (which I’m
    sure we do) I’d like to see us move on to them instead. I say this as someone who really wanted Kamara at first too, but this constant back and forth when clearly the player prefers a move elsewhere is pretty tiresome. 
    Seems like a load of attention seekers making stuff up. If happens, great. If it doesn’t, then decent wingers are normally the easiest to snap up from Premier league loans.

    Nothing new in that article. The local Pompey rag looking to raise a bit of hope there and attract traffic from fans with a re hash of old news imo

    I'd be surprised if Kamara came here. With his connections to Pompey, I can't see that one happening.

    If we pay the fee Hull want and the wages Kamara wants, and pompey don’t, then he will come here

  • Still don’t think we are super keen on Kamara. The only bit of it seemingly coming from the Charlton end was Cawley saying it would be an end of the window signing. That might be because there’s competition but it feels more likely to me that we have other targets ahead of him 
  • Announce Aribo!!!! 
  • Keeping our powder dry infers that we've been biding our time waiting to make an offer. Any of our 'Sweaty' contingents linked with Holsgrove on social media?
    Implies  (apologies if this is rude to point out)
    It is
    Happy to buy Return of the SE7 a pint if he thinks I was rude. :)

    And might have given them a few days to sort practicalities out.
  • Unsure why the clamour for a bloke who’s only ever performed at League One level. He means more to Portsmouth, having been part of their promotion squad.

    5 goals 3 assists in his first championship season. Only from 25 starts too. By our standards that certainly counts as performing, and he’s still only 23
  • I don’t think we are going to know the players when they come in. Just a hunch.

    Are they going to be wearing masks?
