If we only sign 5/6 all together we won't even be able to fill the bench most weeks!4 -

Agree, and no chance 3/4 youngsters are ready to regularly be a part of the match day squad.Cafc43v3r said:

No, I certainly don't. But to only sign 5 players would be bonkers. To suggest that is the plan is, well, unique.Todds_right_hook said:

You can believe, not believe, or take with a pinch of salt the rhetoric that Thomas comes out with but Adkins and Manford probably don't need this job and it's questionable that Gallen and Roddy do.
There is no way we will go into the Celtic game with less than 17/18 senior pros.0 -
We have an owner who has spent a lot of time and money buying the club. He has a 5 year plan
the same owner has been having meetings with sponsors over the last few weeks and has been telling them that we are giving it a go this season.
we will be competitive on the first day of the season. Signings will be made.

first game I saw at the valley. I think it was 5-3 vs PNE and Holton got at least a hat trick .?Easter ?1966, nowadays I can't remember what happened yesterday, and more worrying is that I can't what happened along time ago either.Major said:addick1956 said:
I actually agree with this a d remember way back when players like Lenny Glover, Keith Peacock, Bonds, Peter Reeves, Alan Campbell etc and further back Eddie Firmani, John Hewie etc.ShootersHillGuru said:I see wanting to reduce the average age of the squad as positive in a couple of ways. Firstly the obvious benefit of having more energy and probably in most cases fitter players without serious history of injury. Secondly the notion of having players that are young enough and good enough to grow with the clubs ambitions meaning that for the first time in quite a few seasons we won’t be looking to rebuild the squad every close season, just add and tweak.
How ever I remember Cliff Holton who at 36 changed our team I to something far better on his own really by being a missing piece.
Cliff Holton was a stud. No messing about.

Sadly missed the Preston game which was 5-3 . The return on the Monday was 3-3 I think. Didn't he get the 3 there ?
I went to a game at Norwich later that season where we lost 2-0.
Charlton had not won since early October 65 until Holton arrived and had won only 5. In the 18 games Holton playe we won 8 drew 5 and lost 5.
A massive turn round.
PS Preston at home was 5-2. 3-3 away.8 -
Being reported that we have put in a bid for jaydon... stockly. Old news?1

assuming the management and coaching team do actually want Stockley, then I'd be very disappointed if we didn't get him.3

Really liked Stockley when he was here. I’d be very happy if he is the first signing.0

https://www.lep.co.uk/sport/football/preston-north-end/league-one-clubs-in-fight-to-sign-preston-striker-jayden-stockley-3271492I am hoping the journo writing this article stating Pompey is Stockley’s likeliest destination is purely based on his location. I think he will sign for us, sounded like he and his missus both really liked the area they were staying in, most likely Bexley or Chiselhurst.0
-
Why would you think they don't want him? Reported we've put a bid in and agree verbally before he went on holiday. He seems to be key to the long ball tactics we played under Adkins last season.Elthamaddick said:assuming the management and coaching team do actually want Stockley, then I'd be very disappointed if we didn't get him.
Have a feeling he will go to Pompey anyway.0 -
Stockley not signing would be disappointing but not the end of the world IF we have a viable alternative to turn to.
If it's either Stockley or a League Two journeyman nobody then questions need asking, but we're a long way from knowing the answer to that one.0 -
I’m very much in this camp and never understand why some people get so worked up. There has been very little activity, if you are searching for a positive in why we haven’t signed anyone then it’s probably because we are shopping in the market for players that are attracting multiple interest.Todds_right_hook said:We have an owner who has spent a lot of time and money buying the club.
