I'd never heard of Etheridge, Mendez-laing, McNaughton or Manga before they joined....they turned out to be better signings than Me Fondre, Fowler and Ricky Lambert. It's exciting to discover these unheralded gems

Striker also would be good.

Vaulks is not a defensive midfielder, if he was he would’ve played him over Bacuna on Saturday. He’s a box to box midfielder just like Ralls, 2 box to box midfielders in the same team don’t work, that’s why Ralls and Arter hardly ever played together, it was gunnarson and Ralls OR arter with Camarasa

He’s a defensive midfielder, 100%. Bacuna must be Warnocks flavour of the month because no fucker else can understand why he’s getting in the team over Vaulks.

Hmmmm I wonder what the reason is... maybe because he isn’t a defensive midfielder!!

A quick google would have told you he's a CDM mate.

So your basing his position off google :lol: Vaulks even said himself in the interview he did before he joined he’s a box to box midfielder and likes to be on the edge of the box to pop off shots. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.


No the fact I've watched him play. But can't be bothered to get in a petty argument :lol: got things to do

Fair play, he must have the best scoring and assists record of any defensive midfielder in the country

To settle the argument, I’m sure it was said that he can EITHER sit in front of the defence OR play as a box to box midfielder. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Buckleys Brewery - bang on the money.
In terms of transfer business we appear to be doing a decent impression of an average League 1 club in terms of the quality/ calibre of player we have brought in to date.
This just seems a little odd for a club looking to fight it's way straight back to the Prem.
Bargain basement for us it seems.

This is not the medical


Looks like our newest recruit could be Birmingham City striker, Isaac Vassell.

Had been linked with Luton and Swansea, but we are willing to pay more. He has pulled out of Birmingham’s squad for tonight. This is according to respected journalist, Alan Nixon.

Vassell is shown on a video arriving at Pompey with the Birmingham squad so it's not him who's been having a medical???

Re: UPDATED Tuesday 6th July: ‘ Medicals this week / CCFC ‘

What’s the hold up? Surely it doesn’t take two days to
announce a player once a medical is complete?

That is the that then. Looks just like the Birmingham guy. Strange with the medicals being cancelled, normally agreement has been reached with the club and player concerned before a medical is booked.

Isaac Vassell appears to be moving closer to a transfer to Cardiff City
