    Fletcher and Jarvis would be brilliant - finally some proper cover for Rickie, which as we saw at the weekend is one of our biggest issues at the moment. Not sure how we'd keep them happy without nailed on regular first team football though...need to trim the squad

    Yes I would also be very very very happy with Matt Jarvis. Very lively, a bit more direct and pacy. Would definitely add something to the squad.

    Matt Jarvis? Be serious guys. The lad was linked with the likes of Liverpool/Everton/Newcastle not too long ago, he won't come to us - not in the summer anyway.

    We've been linked in the press with players like Tom Ince and Kazenga LuaLua, and that's the type of player we'll get; exciting prospects who are direct and pacy with a good shot on them, but have yet to play in the Premier League - either that or someone from abroad.

    With reference to the OP, George Boyd will be great for some other club, but not for Saints - he needs the team to work around him and that wouldn't happen here.

    He probably wouldn't join us, no, but it's fair to say we'd all be delighted with it happening!

    Would be pleased to sign him, very lively. Don't know about you guys but he really impressed me on Saturday.

    Why are we so keen on asset-stripping Wolves?

    If he can stay fit then mmmm yes please

    They're going down and players like Jarvis are far too good for the Championship. Someone has to take them.

    As long as we don't buy Adel Taarabt!

    Love all these news stories saying how he's starting to come into his own now (just cos he scored his first Premiership goal) - bit late now, mate! :laugh:

    Jarvis, Kightly, and Doyle yes, but that's it - unfortunately they're the only few players who probably have much better options that us!

    My choice would be Ryo Miyachi!! That's only if Arsenal don't need him for next year, he's been one of Bolton's best players since he's been there and could you imagine Chung and Ryo together, the Japanese would go mad for us!!

    I'd rather not purely because I'd like to see us build our own team rather than rely on loans.

    He's since been dropped by Wolves and, although he's back in the side now, his value has undoubtedly dropped. The likes of Liverpool can't afford to take the risk on unproven (at the top level) players anymore on an inkling anyway. We can.

    I'd always look for players who are hungry. On paper Norwich and Swansea have inferior squads to QPR but hey, their players are hungry for success. QPR have brought in a lot of players in two waves and it must have had an unsettling effect on the players who took them up last season. When you compare the top two in our division with West Ham a similar scenario applies.

    Adel Taraabt wouldn't be a bad choice and a realistic chance of signing.

    He would be a very bad choice. Has been poor in the PL and has attitude problems, I'm happy without him.

    Can't disagree more - unsettling, always wantaway, and absolutely proven on two occasions now (Spurs and QPR) to comprehensively not be a Premiership level player. Gone missing in almost every game QPR have played this season, and nothing he tries comes off, gives the ball away needlessly by trying to skin someone in his own half, believes himself to be better than anyone in his team (and league). A complete nonsense player. The sort of player Pompey would have signed about two or three years ago on stupid wages.

    Can't wait for the Liverpool fire sale - Stewart Downing is probably not beyond us, if he'd lower his wage bill, and would love Charlie Adam. Please no Andy Carroll, though.

    Signings I have thought very astute for newly establishing Premiership clubs in the last few years have quite often been at West Brom - Shane Long, Peter Odemwengie, Chris Brunt.

    Gorkss and Liegertwood from the team that took QPR up now look set to take Reading up. They've brought in a load of journeymen like Ferdinand, Cisse, Wright Phillips and Zamora when Norwich and Swansea kept most of their team together and are reaping the rewards.
