    Sounds like nixon is reporting this so who knows if it's true.

    But Wright would be a massive loss. You're not only losing his pace and creativity but also his goals. In a team where he is second top scorer and our top scorer is now on the bench, we're staggeringly short of goals again. Big replacement needed.

    If true, let's hope that Argyle loan him straight back to us for the rest of the season. I can't see him walking straight into a team that are flying at the moment, so surely it would make sense for him to see out the season with us and be playing week in week out than to be warming the bench at Plymouth.

    Plymouth fans do seem to think its on. Would be a big loss for us, our best wide player by far. If happens i expect its one of those transfers with a large sell on fee attached. Always the danger with loan signings and players who do well i guess. Good luck to the lad if it happens, he's been a credit to himself while here.

    Losing Wright would be a big blow. I always feared this would happen during this window

    Parker has sadly just confirmed that the rumour is true.

    Possibility of Championship football next season is too good to say no to I guess. Wages will be probably higher than we could offer too to be fair. Can understand it from his point of view but you're right, it is a bit of a gamble.

    We'll find out shortly whether it's true or not. The Pompey fans also believe it to be true and feel they have lost out having been keen to bring Wright in in the transfer window.

    You're being a little hopeful if you believe he will be sold to Plymouth and still remain on loan with us. Plymouth want to rejnforce their own promotion push and on recent performances, Wright would be a great addition to their squad. I doubt he's being bought solely as a bench warmer. It also appears Plymouth have negotiated a good deal with Villa. No upfront transfer fee but instead a large share for Villa in any future transfer. That would have been a good deal for us too!

    If he leaves VP, imo he'll be a huge loss to us. But good luck to him and I wish him well wherever he goes.

    Big blow this possibly they could move Eisa to number 10 where he played at Scunthorpe at times and knows where the goal is Chapman on the wing with Walker back

    Good luck to the lad, he is too good for us, we're never going to be ambitious enough under present ownership .....

    Massive blow but good luck to him.
    Did everything he could to play a vital part in the team while he was here and always gave his all.

    Loan players are an inevitable part of football at our level but this shows how quickly a team in form can have their starting eleven disrupted when a loan is recalled or sold.
    January was vital before this.
    It’s just got even bigger.

    The lad has the game to be able to make it in league 1, helps when you have a better calibre of player around you. Interesting who we replace him with as without him we have very little creativity or pace upfront. As our other wide signings have shown, more are miss than hit when it comes to loans. Lets see who we bring in.

    I think even we had offered or even beaten his wages at Plymouth he would have moved to them just because of their position and prospects. League two will be a constant hindrance!

    We do lack pace in the squad and defenders don't enjoy pacy strikers .. and you can't teach pace! He will be missed and like you, I believe he will make it in a higher league.

    As for a replacement, I understand Lincoln are trying to move one of their wingers on! .. Maybe? ;)

    ps Only kidding!

    Its annoying that the lad has chosen to move on , and yes its up a league ,with a team that could reach the championship and obviously more money, but he seemed settled at City and fitted in well with the squad. Will he walk straight into Plymouth's team or feel as at home. Sometimes the grass is not always greener. Has Pierra gone back, if not its time for him to step up his game.
