    Getting the same strikers as last season that came 5th in the goals scored table doesn't exactly excite me as much as it does everyone else. 

    Add into this that our best striker is likely leaving (Aneke). Also haven't yet seen Stockley keep up his form over an entire season.

    2 of them didn't sign until January! If we'd had Stockley up front all season we'd surely have picked up more points.

    Under the same manager that nearly got us a play off place after looking out of our hands.

     Pompey offer was 2k a week, so we will be matching / bettering it 
    He is worth more than that, I'd be very surprised if that is the case. He isn't going to be on 2k a week with Championship Preston.  Reckon if you double that you'd be closer

    Be a great bit of business to get Stockley over the line.  Great return of goals in the short time he was here.  I think he and Washington would be a decent front two to lead the attack

    And probably too many players, I honestly doubt Schwartz will be here.

     How do people find these things out ? On that offer he will probably  see his contract out at PNE. He must be on more that that.

    Mind you it explains why Watmough et al were released. 

    Pompey are spending 10 million on their ground.

    Maybe that was what Pompey offered and we offered more.

    He could stay on a higher wage at Preston and not play or take a pay cut but have a longer contract at Charlton, a club he knows, with a manager who likes him.

    Plus he's not having to live in Preston.

    Think it was more to do with defensive injuries to be fair. 
    It was more to do with what ever happened in the 4 months before March.  Of course the center backs were an issue but there were more, deeper ones as well.  To be fair Bowyer looked to have sorted some of them out before he left.

    I would love to know what they were.

    Stockley, Aneke and Washington would get in every squad, if not team, at this level I would be chuffed if we had all 3 of them.

    Interesting that young Jonty prefers to go with the more abstract NUISAORIIO rather than show loyalty to the tried and tested WIOTOS.

    Yeah I’m with beds on this, we looked toothless at times with those exact players.

    I think it was more of a creativity issue.

    Being supplied by a midfield of Watson/ Pratley / JFC / Gilbey. We even played a 19 year old LB at RW to bring some pace and energy to our team.

    Put players with pace and creativity behind those and I think our forward line does a lot better.

    DJ is one winger, expect to see another come in, possibly late on as a loan
    Given Adkins plays with wingers and we have one (plus Washington) I’ll be surprised if only one comes in. I expect two, maybe even three.

    Think 2k a week would be a bit of an insult... he will be on over 5 imo

    Definitely AT LEAST one more winger to come at some stage. Are there any particularly promising young wingers who might step up? Otherwise we'll need cover as well.

    Pompey Twitter seem to think we’ve offered Stockley £6.5k a week and a big signing on fee - almost certainly nonsense but worth mentioning.

    That's a similar number to what we paid Lyle Taylor, I doubt it's far from the truth.  It is the sort of number you would be talking about for a "star striker" at a big league 1 club pre Covid.

    To be fair £6.5k pw is going to disappear very quickly if he's living in Bexley

    I find that virtually impossible to believe.
    I assume he is on £5K/£6K pw at Preston.

    I would imagine he is on more than that, we were paying 4ish in the championship and a lot of people thought that was an insult.

    He cost a fee, a relatively big one, I would guess nearer to 10.  But I agree Pompey wouldn't seriously offer 2.

    I’m actually very much in Henners camp here. Jayden is obviously talking to both Charlton and Pompey. WIOTOS
