Transfer News Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

He likes Henry. He’s excellent around the club and is apparently a great mentor to younger players. I think he sees huge value in having him around the place.

I’ve never really bought into the “he’s good around the club”. I’m sure he’s lovely, was decent, but if you’re not competing for a first team spot it’s a little regressive concept.

I mean I don’t want a bunch of a**e wipes out there but neither do we need amateur counselors or banter buses

 

[Marked Ox]

I wouldn't

Agreed, doubt he'd suit how LM wants us to play.

 

[YellowOJ]

Posh have interest from 3 L1 clubs in JCH. I wonder if we are one them? Definitely Derby that's for sure. Warne searching high and low for a striker.

I'm not sure we could afford him

I think in this case it’s more about it costing the same to pay him off as it costs to keep him, so if he’s a good influence and is good to have around then you might as well get something for your money rather than nothing. I don’t think Manning would be signing him if he were a free agent, and I don’t expect he’s handing him a new playing contract at the end of the season.

Perhaps he will be the next Mousinho?

I'm not sure anyone could in this division. They paid over a million to Rovers. I imagine they would be looking to at least recoup that cost.

 

[Yellows1]

I thought Scotchers said something along those lines in a previous post.

H did once upon a time, I was being serious

Andy Carroll falling out at Reading, I'd have him here for sure!

What as, to give the kids rides on open days? He’s enormous and quite old

What’s your obsession with helping out Pompey as some sort of nautical finishing school for young admirals ?

I thought more for his ability to hang the nets on the goals.

But surely a stepladder would be cheaper

 

[Yellowarmy]

Got a gut feeling we might go back for marriott when they sign a replacement. They r currently talking to Steven fletcher

 

[uptheus]

I wouldn't

Me neither

He strikes me as a possible coach.

Good temperament for it and is often quite straightforward and honest in interviews.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he was taking his badges.

Let's leave Sams Mum out of this especially as she's not here to tell you all to f*ck off herself

 

[Carpy]

All financial dealings of all clubs, including wages and fees, are held by numerous organisations from the footballing authorities to all manner of agencies. Not everything comes from the tea ladies. You can even see most of the accounts for teams in the league on companies house, which often details spending on fees and salaries.

Good to have you back, poppet xo

Yeah, but you got your info from the tea lady, so don't give me any nonsense, I know your game.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Baldock was there but he wasn't training. He was with the club staff at the check in desk and was seen walking around with them as well.

On crutches?

 

[Mellowyellow]

Henry's been great for us for years, and I"m not sure why some people seem to get such pleasure at the idea of him being booted out of the club. Even if you don't think he'll be good enough after his injuries, surely show some respect to a great club servant.

His next move is into coaching, in the same way Mous did.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Yeah, but you got your info from the tea lady, so don't give me any nonsense, I know your game.

Excuse me tea ladies, two of them. They are the same two who used to supply Mr Popular with titbits. As Ryan suggests these titbits are going elsewhere now.

 

[Mellowyellow]

H did once upon a time, I was being serious

Ah, but remember Scotchers has said something along those lines in many a previous post.

 

[ECYellow]

"While he's here"

Very telling...

Yup…it’s not rocket science, is it?

Murphy is not in serious contention for a starting spot, despite a reasonable end to last season (by the standards he’d set for the 35ish games before that) and despite there not having been that many reinforcements in his position over the summer.

Manning doesn’t fancy him and based on the last 4 years of Murphy’s career, it’s hard to build a case whereby the player himself really cares enough to fulfil his obvious potential, either.

We will most definitely cut our losses as soon as a club expresses an interest in Murphy.
