McLeod (22 league goals last year) and Luke Rodgers (100+ goals in 300 fl appearences) upfront, Gillet and Lloyd Sam on the wings, Brian Howard and Ashley Harris in CM, Harley at left back, Magri and Webster at CB, and Dumbuya at right fall back/right wing back... MINUS 10, WHO GIVES A ****, WE'RE SUPER POMPEY, AND WE'RE GOING UP! It may not even be -10 (see here for more details: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/politics/letter-aims-to-restore-pompey-s-lost-points-1-4062473), but both Scum and Leeds have proved that it's possible to up near the top after a deduction. This is the team I would LOVE to see start against Bournemouth on August 18th: -----------------Anderson--------------- Harley-----Webster---Magri--Dumbuya Gillet--------Harris---Howard-----Sam -------------McLeod--Rodgers
Oddly enough my FM save has Portsmouth in League One (I put us down in the editor and released all the high earners. As coincidence would have it I signed McLeod, Dumbuya and Howard in game a couple of months back... Ooer!
Jake the optimist... I think you'll be lucky to even make the start if the season let alone sign a whole new team... You really are living in a dream world
RLGB the pessimist... Do you ever look on the bright side of life Rickie ? Your pint glass is always half empty, rather than half full, isn't it ? You really are the Harbinger of Doom. Have you ever thought of applying to become a hospital visitor ?
I'm actually quite a positive person but when you read comments like that you really do think 'Are you being serious!?!?' It's just baffling...
It's good to be optimistic Jake. Let's just hope the remaining 8 senior players can be shifted so Apple can actually sign some of these guys!
Plus! http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/p...ore-triallists-join-pompey-in-spain-1-4065460 Feeling strangely optimistic after that PompeyPages article. EDIT: How many could we sign on TBH's wages alone, do you think?
Denial is a river in Egypt, honey. But if Jake wants to sail a (metaphorical) boat down it, then that's up to him. please log in to view this image
Now you are doing a poor impression of John McEnroe. Why are you "baffled" ? Pompey fans aren't baffled, apart from where you are coming from........
Brian Howard is out in Spain on trial with us - is he the same one who was loosely linked with us a couple of years ago? Or was that a different Brian? Memory not quite what it used to be - bit too full nowadays
Yes 3rd eye, I believe it is one and the same. Used to be quite a prolific goalscorer for a midfielder a few years back. Could be a good replacement for Chuck Norris
Ahh - thanks Wooperts. As I recall he issued a "come & get me" call to Cotts, but then went off elsewhere.
I quite like the look of this new striker McLeod if the league allow us to sign him, he is in Spain with the others at the moment.PUP
