@jamiefox83: Be a good squad addition, Wouldn’t mind Curtis Nelson from Oxford either.

Gareth White: Can’t sell all our best players and get sub-standard replacements. Look at Morris and Cannon – very poor.

@Braderleyy: Would be a very good signing.

Jamie Harris: Omar Beckles from Shrewsbury town worth looking at!

@PompeyCorner: They would have to use regular 1st team football as the gambit as he’s looking for championship football himself.

Ricky Ryan: how about keep Clarke and splash some money and get this guy to partner him in defence.

@arthurdshelby: Stick that name on the underwhelming list.

Shawn Woodward: Clarke is left footed Lockyer is right footed so not straight replacement more as Burgess cover.

Gareth White: The alarm bells will be ringing if they do it on the cheap again cost us promotion last 2 seasons
