Nobby Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Pompey sell Sol and sign Distin and Bramble on frees? Distin to sign for Pompey in next 48 hours http://www.sportinglife.com/football/premiership/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/07/05/22/SOCCER_Portsmouth_Nightlead.html&TEAMHD=premiership "Portsmouth are poised to pull off a double swoop for Sylvain Distin and Sulley Muntari within the next 48 hours. Confirmation Distin's five-year career at Manchester City is over has boosted Pompey's confidence that they can finally complete a £40,000-a-week deal for the 29-year-old on a free transfer." Bramble to sign for Pompey today http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2084998,00.html "The Newcastle defender Titus Bramble, whose imminent release by Allardyce was announced last week, has rejected Celtic, Birmingham and Fulham to agree a free transfer to Portsmouth. The 25-year-old will undergo a medical at Fratton Park today to become Harry Redknapp's first summer signing. "Titus is a good free transfer," said Redknapp. "We are looking to strengthen the squad and we have some exciting players lined up." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Selling Sol Campbell to buy Titus Bramble, Genuis.. How did we miss out on Distin?, class act.. So, Campbell to join Newcastle in a 2 years contract coming up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Unless there is a really overwhelming amount of cash involved, I really don't see the appeal in going to Pompey. (Concerning Distin, Bramble is fucked now and doesnt have much of a choice). Having lived in both Newcastle and Pompey... it's a total no brainer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 My eyesight might be failing me, but where in that article does it say Campbell is to be sold? The closest I can see is some typical paper bollocks: The scenario is complicated by new Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce's interest in Campbell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the purchase of two new centre halfs will unsettled him just a bit more though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Spectrum Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Where does that article say they're selling Campbell? Saying Allardyce is interested is blatantly not the same as Redknapp saying he can go Unless there is a really overwhealming amount of cash involved, I really don't see the appeal in going to Pompey. (Concerning Distin, Bramble is fucked now and doesnt have much of a choice). Having lived in both Newcastle and Pompey... it's a total no brainer I've not read any report that suggests Distin will be getting a pay rise compared to what City were offering. But I can think of 3 reasons he would go there. 1 - They're building a decent team. Good last year, about to sign a great talent in Muntari...etc. 2 - Longer contract. 3 - Signing on fee. I think its more than likely to be #1, considering Distin is probably already absolutely minted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Bramble/Distin or Campbell. I know which one i'd rather have and it isn't the former. Dunno if any truth lies in this, but i'd still love to see Sol Campbell at St James' Park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Most certainly. Campbell is one of my favourite players. Although later than I would have liked, seeing him play for us would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Even though it blatently says it knowhere in the article, i can see Campbell moving on now. Should Pompey sign Bramble and Distin, then Campbell might be sellable in their eyes..... especially since they have Primus too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I wonder how much they will ask, we really are a shambles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'd give them no more than 1.5m. Not a bad amount of money considering what he would give us over a couple of years service. We have to sign Ben Haim in my eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hunty looks like he's off to Carlisle on loan for the season, so Edgar would be our 4th choice unless Sam rates Ram. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
