Is FootballLeagueWorld even a reliable source?

It credits this article as its source

https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/stockley-transfer-pne-portsmouth-charlton-20752048

Which in turn credits the is one

https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/portsmouth-in-the-transfer-mix-for-charlton-loan-hit-jayden-stockley/

The assumptions in the FootballLeagueWorld one and the Lancs live one are just that.  It's Saturday's news rehashed. 

Its then decided from those articles that Portsmouth have been given permission to speak with Stockley

If Stockley doesn’t join us it doesn’t mean we’ve been slow, lax or anything else. What it means is that the player has got a better deal or has decided that the move suits him better. We will have a budget on what we are prepared to go to for the player and if Portsmouth or anyone else are willing to pay PNE or the player more then good for them. That’s how it works.

If we've let one of the best most in demand strikers in L1 go one holiday with only a verbal agreement and then lose him then we deserve exactly what we get... how amateur! 

Would you have not let him go on holiday? How do we know he hasn’t told Charlton he wants to go on holiday to think things through! Is it unreasonable that a player wants time to get things sorted?

Of course I'm not and your just being antagonistic with that statement.

The rumour shared was... Charlton not happy with his agent or PNE .... saying they have  a gentleman’s agreement fee wages agent fee before player went of on family holiday and there understanding is that’s still in place for the player to sign on his return

In no business do you let your biggest deal or target target agree the deal but go away without doing the deal.

It's typical of us get caught sleeping or being too conservative and this looks to be another example of this.

so you would force a player to sign through aggression? I wonder how that tactic would work out

as i said originally, how do we know that Stockley hasn't told Charlton he needs and wants time to think things through.

Where did say anything about forced aggression LOL that’s brilliantly imagined 

I’m a Sales Director and I or a member of my team have done a deal I get it agreed in writing so it can’t be renaged on without a penalty or renegotiated without mutual agreement.

All I’m saying if we’ve done that then it’s poor negotiating on our part. The deal could have been completed before he was on holiday (maybe it actually has and this is all rumours) like other deals have been in L1, the window doesn’t have to be open to sign players.

If the above has happened we’ve let a rival come in a potentially steal him or cost us more … that’s bad business! Simple!

Its also worth saying he’s been here for months so we’ve had plenty of time to make him an offer and for him to decide does he want to come.

 The original rumour stated he had made a verbal agreement so if we don’t sign him it’s suggests he’s broken that agreement.

If we have lost, what we assume is our number one target then it doesn’t bode well for our budget or expertise in the market.

Pompey been given permission to speak to Stockley, according to this article. 

If this is the case then I’m lost for words! A player on loan with us last season, says he wants to sign and then we lose out to a promotion rival, f*****g ridiculous. 

Lose out ..... if we were ever interested ???? 

No one knows who our targets are yes Stockley was shown properties in Bexley when the season ended .. perhaps we went in another direction ????

Hang on you said it was a done deal, then it was agreed.  Now you don't know? 

I don't know what to believe any more!!

Alot of teams are getting there business done early and once again we seem to be behind everyone!! I just don't get the silence coming from the club surly contract negotiations with the out of contract players has happened and some must want to stay. I can see this being one long hard season. If thomas thinks he can do this on the cheap he's going to have one big shock coming to him !!!

I'm not too fazed at the moment at the lack of transfer activity but would like to see the majority of players in before pre season starts if possible.

I am a bit surprised at the radio silence on some other issues such as the new shirt and the sponsorship of it, I mean Mumford said a deal was imminent about a month ago. He needs to learn that he can't bandy such words around willy nilly.
