@mrandrewmoon Danny Cowley on Jack Diamond... "Jack's a player we know well, he ruined our FA Cup involvement last year... he's obviously a Sunderland boy who's come through the academy there, he's a good player but no we have clarity on what we'd like to bring in" #Pompey Pompey are desperate to be our last seasons B team .
If Diamond is going out on loan then I'd like to see him at a top half L1 side. There is absolutely nothing to be gained in sending him to L2
Kind of transfer related, but have the squad numbers been released yet? Might give an indication as to other positions we are looking to fill. Bit like last season when the number 9 was left vacant and Broadhead later filled that void. I'm clutching I know.
it was the last possible moment last season. From memory the Friday before. So could well be tomorrow
I hope so… my lad wants Stewart on the back of the new away shirt but I’ve told him he’ll have to wait incase he changes number
Yeh I reckon they were waiting to see if Broadhead rejoined to take the 9 shirt. it will be a good indicator whether he’s likely to come tomorrow if Stewart (or Simms!?!?) are listed as 9.
I’m hoping simms has trained the last couple of days and we announce him just before lunch so he slots into the match day squad
I reckon it's all done and he will be announced tomorrow morning and then the squad numbers at 12 o'clock
