Meanwhile, Matt Clarke appears to be attracting potential suitors every week, if reports are to be believed!
Pompey fans have been taking onboard what Catlin had to say, though.
And here’s what they’ve had to say on the matter via our Facebook page Portsmouth FC - The News and on portsmouth.co.uk

Then why demolish a winning squad apart from those who wanted to leave?
Shawn Woodward
If a decent offer comes in for any of our players though, like £2m to £3m for Lowe is a fair offer.
Peter Walsh
Good to hear – and right that we do not NEED to sell any of our players.

I am hopeful that when the club is loyal to the players the players will feel happy to remain with us.
We are building for the future – and allowing good assets to leave does not help that future.
John Ellerton
I hope they mean what they say, but I will wait and see, because I have learned over many years that the club can say one thing and then do the opposite. I remain scepical.
Mark Archer
We will see

Hide AdSurely Pitman could have joined another lower Championship side when he left Ipswich if that was his motivation.
I thought location and playing time was his motivation.
Would be interested in the amount offered for him would be. I expecting 2-2.5 million but we shouldn’t sell him for less than 5.
