You'll get tossers booing him next season. I'll clap him though anyway.

Just chill everyone man

Why not just wait and see who we buy first?

SSN say they are expecting to hear something in the next hour.

Parker has been replaced. Emre needs to go now.

Good luck to him. West Ham are cunts but i appreciate the effort Parker put in for us. He didn't have a great season last year but he had an excellent first season. He's clearly got the ability to be a good defensive midfielder, just needs to be a bit more disciplined.

That couldn't be further from the truth.

Depends on the transfer fee and how much he would want in wages. A foward line of Owen/Viduka/Martins/Smith would be quality but it would go overboard with our wage budget.

Well i think it would harm Taylor more than anything by dropping him now. He's been coming on so much over the last few months imo. He's full of confidence now. I'm also a big fan of Milner and the Zog but Taylor is the main one who i have big hopes for.

No room for Oba? Thats exactly the team i picked a couple of days ago. Its very possible. Wait and see once we get them all in first though. I think that strikeforce would be shithot as long as they both stayed fit which is a big ask.

I see him in the way i seen Kevin Gallacher. He will get a good ovation when he comes back.

Nah its not. The clubs have been in contact, the player is interested, no agreement has been made between the clubs yet so we haven't had permission to talk to the player. Long way to go.

Its hardly surprising after all the shit whats went on with him at Man City.

Aye all he needs to be able to do after that is tackle, pass and cross then we're laughing.

Johnson is s*** imo Excellent at lPompey. Hmm well i've not watched many Portsmouth games really over the last season but he hasn't really stood out when i have seen them. I'm not convinced anyway. I've just got a feeling Allardyce is gonna bring in a right back from abroad. A big strong physical one. Could be wrong though.

I think Nobby can do a job at right back, but it really is asking a bit much of him to play there every week at his age. We would be best of getting a natural right back in and getting rid of Carr, then keeping Nobby as back up right back and right wing.

Johnson is shit imo

We can do better than Young. If we manage to get the Ben Haim, Rozenhal and Baines then all we need is a good right back then when you add Taylor into the equation we will for the first time in my life have a very good back four.

A good captain doesn't just wear the armband though. A good captain should be inspirational and be able to keep his head up and lift the rest of the team when things are going bad.

Do you lot think its right to give the captaincy to a new signing? Usually i would say no, but considering that half of our line up next seasons is probably gonna be a new look team then i think it might be possible. Out of the players currently at the club now i would say only Given and Owen are absolutely 100% to start next season in the line up and i wouldn't give the captaincy to either of them.

Would be good if we did fuck off West Ham for more money though. By the looks of it, its not as if it was an agreement that they would get Parker once we've signed Barton. It looks like West Ham really wanted to fuck us off by signing Parker and Barton. £10m now you cockney cunts tbh.

That did actually cross my mind today funnily enough but surely not. I'd be happy for us to keep Parker cos i think Allardyce could get the best out of him and use him effectively, but i think his days are up tbh

Emre should go

5.5m for Barton is not cheap, imo. Speed £5.5m - 1998 Hamann £4.5m - 1998 Dyer £6m - 1999 Maric £3.5m - 1999 Bassedas - £4m - 2000 Jenas - £5m - 2002 Viana - £8.5m - 2002 Parker £6.5m - 2005 Emre £3.8m - 2005 A selection of central midfield players over the last decade who have signed for us. Look at the prices even as far back as when we bought Speed. I don't think we've got a bad deal at all in terms of a transfer fee considering he's proven Premiership quality. If he does half as well as Speed then we're on a winner.
