Media reports suggest that David Nugent will be sold off by Portsmouth at a knock-down price. He would be a tremendous buy for any Premier League club with a manager capable of reviving his career. How about us? Sell McCarthy for 5m to some Euro club, buy a young England international desperate to save his career and pocket significant change to help us buy a mid-fielder.

Are you for real?

Nugent has been found out in the Premiership, whilst McCarthy when fit, is on his day one of the best strikers in the division..Keep him fit and we will see the Benni that attracted envious gazes from the bridge..

He was definatley the best player on the pitch last night. His set pieces were slightly woeful, but his ability and eye for a pass were undoubted. He looked a very good footballer witha good footballing brain.

people are going overboard about him. he only stood out cos he was the only player on the hibs side that decided he was going to be positive.

the game wasnt at all competitive, players were given time and space.

i wonder how many of the people getting excited and suggesting we sign him, thought villenueva was too lightweight and not up to the english game ? :D

on nugent.... feel a bit sorry for him. portsmouth have mostly played him wide instead of in his natural position of centre forward.

So why would we pay £4m for him then? RSC - 3.5m, Benni £2.5m - Nugent £4m?? :o

Not suggesting for one minute we should sign Nugent but 4M is the new 2M in the current market so you aren't comparing apples with apples.

Just a note too. Second consecutive day with no Alan Nixon story in the Mirror. Holiday or something more sinister?

25 year old Rothen?? :lol:

Jesus, I wish he was 25! He turned down a chance to go to ManU around that time (2004 - he was actually 26) for £5m, opting instead to go to PSG (club he grew up following I believe). Would probably cost us £15m if he were 25 now.

Rovers are linked to French Midfielder Hassan Yebda of Benfica.........Box to Box(what ever that means)...........We need a creative player not a box to box one........

Aren't Gerrard and Lampard considered box-to-box midfielders? :lol:

Any chance of us making a move for Niko Kranjcar? I wonder how much it will take to tempt Pompey's frail hand.

I suppose the only reason no one has bought him yet is that he is injured at the moment?

I like him a lot as a player but again he is not really the sort we need at the moment. We need a central play maker type, Krankjcar sits a bit too far up the pitch for us I think. We need someone who can move the ball around from further back.

Plus Pompey will know they can get 10m+ for him. They are in trouble, but not mugs.

i'm just waiting for joey barton to arrive in final week of august. The season tickets will have been sold by then, so the signing will not put off new st holders.

temperament apart, he is the kind of player we need to add strength to midfield and put some presence in there. We've had no-one since sav. Grella is a croc so don't bank on him

Whatever ability Barton has, he is a complete liability with his temperament. He isn't just a hot-headed player, he's a thug who's blown every chance afforded him.

Again, people reject Bentley but would welcome Barton? Riiiiiiiiight. :rolleyes:

Beggers can't be choosers right now. Both would waltz into our team as it is.

Bentley got his head down and did well for the club. Less chance of him going missing on a prison sentence.

Btw, all this talk about Rothen being a new playmaker - isn't he a left-midfielder?

I've had my reservations about Barton, as any straight thinking human being would, but unfortunately, as far as the player goes, he is EXACTLY what we need right now.

Plus, we've had a severe lack of headcases since we sold Savage, Dickov, Bellamy, Neill and Todd.

All in all, I think though Diouf was a good start, it's important Sam gets Barton in ASAP.

Ps, is Hot Toddy still playing?

Yes, yes he is.

And we desperately need one of those, as we're yet to replace Duff.

People go on about missing that 'bite' in midfield, the 'savage' role - Barton is that man!

He also adds in some goals, and has a decent passing range on him too!!

Manchester City - 130 apps 5 goals

Newcastle United - 32 apps, 2 goals.

Yeah, he'll add in some goals all right.
