Warren Hope
Love to see him back in the team we need some experience look what Doyle gave us in the middle of the pitch made a big difference.

Jason Butcher
Stop with the rose-tinted love in for former players. The clubs has moved on. Great player once but the last couple of years has had major knee, hamstring & back injuries.

Paul Carter
Be good to have an experienced midfielder in the squad, but I think he's a bit injury prone these days sadly.

Rob Emery
Sentimentality has no place now, it is a shame he doesn't hold the necessary badges, he could have filled a gap.

Barrie Jenkins
Not a route Kenny Jackett should go down, look forward not back, yes he was a decent player, yes he has heart but he is now 35 and won't fit in with KJ ethos.
Thanks for the good times Gary O'Neil but time to look elsewhere.

Hide AdI'd take him over May and Close any day. Really hope we sign him back!

He would be a great asset to Pompey, but would only want him on a pay-as-you-play contract.

Aaron Oliver
Would love to see him back. Maybe on a pay-as-you-play deal. He would bring experience and leadership.
