Guest Guinness Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 It's the fans of Villa, Man City and Everton that should be pissed off about the transfer window, not us. Fourth place is there for the taking, and they've done nothing of any note. Good post. Didnt we do something similar that 1 summer when all we got in was Bowyer on a free. Im sure it was the year finished 4th or 3rd. Signed Bowyer in the summer, got knocked out of the CL qualifying round by Partizan and ended up 5th.

Most disappointing window, but on the bright side, City and Everton not having done a great deal will even out the competition a bit. Esp if City can't sign Benjani.

Guest kingdawson Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I think we done ok this transfer window tbh...... In Woodgate - £7mill Gunter- £2mil Gilberto - £1.5 mill Hutton - £8 mill Out Defoe - £9 mill Routledge - £1.25 mill Stalteri - Loan Gardner - Loan Ifil - 500 k Barnard - undisclosed Ghaly- Loan I guess Gus wasn't messing about after the Villa game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delima Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I honestly think you have done great KD. Gilberto for 1.5, Defoe for 9. Good business there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasnt that been your main problem lately with injuries to King and Dawson? Then they go out and get you Woody + 3 other fullbacks. Strange one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange one I think Gilberto will be playing left back only until Bale get's fit again(Probably out for the season though), and then he'll switch to Lm. With Bale out of contention, were looking at Hutton and Chimbonda in contention for the rb spot and lee and Gilberto for the lb, with Gunter able to play both Right and left back. Centre back position, we are sorted tbh. King, Woodgate, Dawson, Kaboul and Rocha (not to mention Huddlestone can fill in there) should be ok for the rest of the season but we desperatly need a defensive midfielder in the summer.

Rocker Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Word from Pompey (wor lass), is that Benjani's deal will be completed today, or has just been completed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I think Portsmouth have made a bit of a mistake swapping Benjani for Defoe. The 4-3-3 they play relies on having a big, strong and mobile striker in the centre, like Benjani. Defoe isn't that and I think he'll struggle to fit into the system they play.

Maybe they'll change the system. Maybe they will, but I can't really see Defoe and Baros working well together in a 4-4-2. They're both players who like to play off a 'big man'.

LooneyToonArmy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Boro almost signed Vagner Love but didn`t qualify for a work permit! "The truth is we made attempts to sign both Fred and Vagner Love who, like Afonso Alves, are top quality Brazilian international strikers. "We came very close to doing deals for both of them. We would have loved to have brought both Alves and either Fred or Love here. "In fact, Love was ready to sign for us even on transfer deadline day but he didn't qualify for a work permit and we just ran out of time before the deadline. http://www.mfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,1~1231330,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
