To be fair, I thought Gunter has done well at Left Back in the last couple of friendliescharltonbob said:
Why would we need a decent quality left back on a free transfer when we have Chris Gunter ? :ElliotCAFC said:
Another one bites the dust
(Yes I know we might not have been in for him anyway)6 -
If Ogilvie wants to play center half, which given who has been saying it all summer I doubt, and Portsmouth sign him to play center back fair play to all 3 of them.SELR_addicks said:
People are saying we should be signing him already before it happened.AndyG said:If it does happen then no doubt he will overnight turn into a world beater that we should be signing according to some 🤭🤭🤭
But sure stick to worshipping Gunter at LB and Pearce at CB.
He wouldn't get in our team at LCB. If Pearce being 2nd choice LCB is the biggest of your problems you'll win league 1.
If Ogilvie wants, or is willing, to play left back, he is 100% someone we should be in for and probably are.
If he signs for Pompey and regularly plays left back he will be the second player I am really gutted we didn't sign, that signed for a league 1 club. IF.
But that also depends who we sign because I would say it's about 80% likely we will sign a left back.

September? Ffs, Sandgaard and Adkins need at least a season to begin to unravel this mess.eaststandmike said:

I want the very best for a club that I have supported for over 50 years and I am fully aware of the financial constraints and the bad ownership in the past, however there is no guarantee in your statement that we will be adding additional players before the window closes, who knows what the management team have in terms of plans.
All I do know is that we have a very weak squad to compete in league one and if we pick up any injuries or suspensions early doors we will be in a world of pain.
I suggest we all sit back and wait and see where we are in September.4 -
Agree. I think it will be a very weak league again this season. Potentially Ipswich and Wigan will be the strongest first XI’s and squads overall, but nothing I see says it’s going to be as competitive as it was 3 years ago when we went up and you could say that us, Luton and Barnsley were strong, with Sunderland sort of making up a strong 4th team, and Doncaster and Pompey in an around for the majority of the season.Swisdom said:Ogilvie scored a banger against us but I fail to see why there is such a clamour for him. He’s not better than Famewo or Inniss and wouldn’t want to come and play second fiddle.
if he were happy to play left back then he’d possibly be worth a look but Purrington is adequate in the current climate
and for all the fans bemoaning the lack of depth - look at EVERY other club below the championship and you’ll see we are ALL in the same boat. A lot of teams will be utilising their academy players and do you know what - we have a better academy than they do.
I fully expect another season like last year. Potentially 2 teams taking control, and us, among a few others, flattering to deceive and being the runners to make up the play offs.0 -

And that is 3 weeks wasted because I don't believe we buy all the replacements. There are free agents out their.
If you believe Gallen he's working at it constantly.

And that would probably mean every club at the coal face and doing bog all.
It's probably safe to assume then that he is actually working on getting things done rather than sitting on his arse all day since he hasn't been sacked.10 -

Been away from this thread for a couple of days and just caught up. Honestly, the state of it. The usual suspects pissing and moaning about not having enough of the players they want even though it's been said a million times that deadline day will be the real indicator of what our squad will look like for the season, due to the fact Covid is having a massive effect on the market. Doesn't matter though, same people whining, whining, whining. Can we have a rumours thread and a whining thread and keep things separate before everyone goes insane?

Maybe I misunderstood, what do you believe he was doing in the last 3 weeks?1 -
Another way to look at it is that we've signed a Championship striker, a defender on loan from the Premiership, a goalkeeper who was POTY at his previous club, a midfielder reportedly of interest to multiple clubs, and another rated highly by fans who saw a team improve with his inclusion.DamoNorthStand said:

Maybe we can't laugh at anyone's signings but there's no other clubs who would be calling our own business laughable. Numbers wise it's disappointing yes but not quality.16 -
I'm not laughing at anyones signings. Infact I'm not that interested in players that other clubs are signing. All I'm saying is that everytime someone signs a player there is uproar saying we should have signed themDamoNorthStand said:
