excellent news that Marc McNulty's loan from Sheffield Utd has been extended til the end of the season. Let's hope the other half of the steel city will allow us to hold on to Caolan Lavery! Happy New Year
Brilliant news indeed.......and word on the grapevine is Cooky might have pulled off a deal for a prem player too.........not sure what position but strong rumours its a keeper!
Excellent news !! Matt Clarke & Marc McNulty staying, and hopefully Caolan Lavery all being well. Pompey also after Notts County midfielder Liam Noble on a free transfer at the end of the season when his contract expires.
Skipper Michael Doyle has signed a further 12 months contract at Fratton Park, and on loan striker Jayden Stockley has returned to Bournemouth.
Pompey allegedly interested in signing 24 year old striker Michael Smith from Swindon Town. Scun*horpe are also after him. He will apparently cost a fee, as his contract expires end of the season. At 6'4" tall, quite a big lad who scored 18 goals for Swindon last season.
The Rumours about our Rueben Reid being a Pompey target have surfaced again. Seems like it's every transfer window. You might recall I posted sometime back that you should keeep your hands off him if the rumour is true and it turned out not to be at that time. Well, if true this time you can actually have him. He hasn't played for sometime through injury, again, and we don't seem to have missed him given we are still top. It probably isn't true anyway as it seems almost every player of any note anywhere is linked to Pompey and you already have a squad of 122 players.
As mentioned by bornpompey a few days ago, Paul Cook is indeed after a goalie from a Premier League club. According to the Daily Mail we are after 19 year old Liverpool goalkeeper Ryan Fulton. The Scotland Under 21 international is highly regarded at Anfield and signed a contract extension in December. Aberdeen had shown tentative interest following Liverpool's decision to recall their other talented young keeper Danny Ward from his loan but they are understood to be looking for someone with more experience. Big lad at 6' 3", and we desperately need (to my mind) someone commanding to bring in for Brian Murphy, who is making mistakes in almost every match, and is possibly our one weak link
Pompey have released James Dunne by mutual agreement, and he has signed for Cambridge United. Best of luck to him, quite a decent player, to my mind.
Young Liverpool goalie Ryan Fulton has signed on loan until the end of the season. Nigel Atangana has been sold to Leyton Orient for an undisclosed fee.
Portsmouth have signed defender Kieron Freeman on loan from Sheffield United until the end of the season. Freeman, 23, can play on either the left or right side of defence, but is cup tied for Pompey's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Bournemouth. The former Derby County player has made 22 appearances for the Blades this season, scoring once in the FA Cup first round against Worcester City. The Nottingham Forest academy graduate joined the club on a free last January.
Blimey, it's all going on at Fratton Park today ! Two more departures - reserve keeper Michael Poke has left Pompey, and rejoined Eastleigh for the rest of the season, and Rommy Boco has left us by mutual agreement
