Deadline Day
Key Events
- No more Pompey arrivals
- No more Pompey departures
- Denver Hume stays
As I understand it, Denver Hume unlikely to leave Pompey as it stands. Still 50 minutes left of the window, though.
So we’re still waiting. No more signings coming in - but trying to get out Hume before 11pm deadline.
Think back to the Fulham player who capitalised on Ryan Schofield letting a backpass run across him in the six-yard box. That was Godo.
I see Martial Godo, who scored for Fulham Under-21s against Pompey in the EFL Trophy, has joined Wigan on loan.
Looking back, will always remember the shock at Gary O’Neil leaving Pompey on deadline day in August 2007.
Mind you, Fulham were even more shocked. He met Lawrie Sanchez and then walked out of a medical to sign for Middlesbrough instead!
Wonder what happened to him?
Latest on Denver Hume is it continues to rumble on. Pompey desperate to offload him before 11pm deadline. There’s still hope.....
Imagine being on Sky Sports News trying to generate interest in this. For hours and hours and hours.
Still, I miss the days when Sky Sports reporters stood outside the grounds with supporters behind them. Always interesting waiting for a rude comment or inflatable doll to appear.
Watching the England T20 game to get through the boredom of the deadline line. Some huge hitting from Bairstow and Brooks provided a much-needed lift.
It has been confirmed that Arsenal’s Nathan Butler-Oyedeji, the player linked with Pompey but in reality they were never interested, has joined Cheltenham on loan.
Cheltenham, of course, have not scored in their opening five league games.
I’m not entirely convinced the reason Mingi turned down Pompey was down to his preference to join Colchester, but there you go. Good luck to him.
