    Grimsby fans seem the think Vernam has been made available by Lincoln. If true, I'd have him back without hesitation.

    I can't see it, that ship has well and truly sailed. Also, with our new shape he definitely wouldn't fit into our system.

    Close for me Kev. Vernam from the end of last season was almost unstoppable at times, like most wingers suffers from inconsistency. I don't think Vernam is any better than Wright though and we have better needs elsewhere.

    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.

    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.

    Wright owes us nothing. He was brought in to do a job for us and he did it.

    If he was our player we could feel agrieved but he is Aston Villas. Plymouth can offer him alot more than we can right now. Career and wages.

    I’m surprised at this comment. Every time I’ve seen Eisa he has impressed me.
    He’s direct, not scared to shoot or run at people but also works hard off the ball.
    Not saying he’s a natural replacement for Wright, but I’ve liked what I’ve seen far.
    Do believe we need another option to replace Wright tho and someone who ideally has that pace and direct style

    Complete myth. Cook runs himself into the ground every time he plays.

    Still remember that now. Walking into the kop and finding out Quinn had gone. Gutted.

    Fairly certain that every player in our squad has a price next to their name at which we'd sell. I'm also fairly certain that it's the same situation for every club and every player in L2 and L1.

    why would anyone playing in the championship drop to our level .......... I honestly believe the strikers ain’t the problem they will all get goals given the chance .............to me it’s the midfield and it has been for months now ......... we very rarely dominate that section of the pitch they hardly contribute in goal terms as for Chapman how can you have an attacking player who simply cannot shoot ????
    I deffo think that midfield needs sorting out now while can

    Ah, that's better. The mention of Billy Sharp... The transfer thread is now complete.

    Carry on

    I have to disagree slightly I think Platt and Halliday have done well

    Am off down memory lane now, we used to have a Peter Costello(nice goal struck at leeds), just need to find an Abbott and the comedy duo will be up and running again.
    Not that this club doesn't provide its share of comedy, see Tues night.

    If it improves the team then who cares?

    We are no position to worry about developing average players.

    Please tell me where we are making transfers with an eye to the future? 7 loan signings none of whom will be here next season. Two players who could come into the category you mention are East and Young but our manager doesn’t rate them. The January window should be like a pit stop in a Grand Prix, a tweak here and there, bringing in a quality player to maybe make the podium, instead it’s wholesale engine change with borrowed parts from better rivals with more in hope than expectation that it will work.

    get rid of Cook and then what ????
    Nothing because this team create nothing ............. Fook going on about the forwards ffs they ain’t the issue it’s our midfield and our lack of decent chances to the front men ................ I can put money on that if Cook goes and he does start regularly for Wrexham he will get goals because they funnily enough they create chances

    Glad to see Hughes confirm in his presser that Cook's not going anywhere.

    I liked what I saw of the kid Nevers he looked very direct just like Wright.

    You can pick up a free experienced keeper or a talented loanee at a far cheaper price, than someone on a multi year contract with 6 months league experience. Look at Vigeroux’s career, decent keepers are rarely in demand that’s why clubs like Swindon just loan them as Parkinson used to do. People had a meltdown on Wednesday that Cook was leaving Thursday, people listen to cheap social media rumours to easily these days.
