Good news that Kanu and Mokoena seem to be on their way, being high erarners, http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18772708 but with only 8 senior players there is clearly a lot of work to do in a short space of time!
The chuckle brothers - aka Luke Varney and David Norris may both be going to Leeds this week, although Sheff Wed also in for Norris. That Ben Haim is the one who needs to get gone really. Pompey fans were doing a "wheresKanu" twitter search last night. It was quite funny.
Varney and Norris are being strongly linked with moves away. So if they, Kanu and Mokoena leave it would leave us with Lawrence, Mullins, Husklepp, Halford, Kitson and Tal Ben Haim, in addition to the promoted youth players of Harris, Magri, Webster, Butler, Wallace, Grant, Colson, Higgins, Thompson and Wheeler. Also, currently, we have Simon Eastwood, Jon Harley, Darjan Curanovic, Laurie Walker and Mustapha Dumbuya on trial. This means that the current squad is: Goalkeepers Eastwood (trial), Walker(trial), Curanovic (trial) Defenders Tal Ben Haim (senior), Halford (senior), Magri (promoted youth), Webster (promoted youth), Grant (promoted youth), Butler (promoted youth), Wheeler (promoted youth), Harley (trial), Dumbuya (trial) Midfielders Lawrence (senior), Mullins (senior), Wallace (promoted youth), Harris (promoted youth), Colson (promoted youth), Higgins (promoted youth) Forwards Husklepp (senior), Kitson (senior), Thompson (promoted youth) Additionally we are still being linked to forward Izale McLeod and now one of Glasgow Ranger's former midfield Rhys McCabe. So Appleton is lining up signings once he's given the go ahead to make some.
We really need to get out of Administration and get some players of at least some quality to keep us up at least.PUP
