Message from Portsmouth fans is loud and clear - bring back Ben Thompson from Millwall

After The News revealed that the former Fratton favourite has dropped down the pecking order at Milwall – at a time when the Blues are looking to bolster their midfield options – supporters took to social media to make their feelings on the matter known.

And the overriding opinion was: any move for the player would be most welcome.

At no point has The News said that a Thompson return is on the cards.

However, that hasn’t stopped Pompey fans dreaming of a reunion with the talented 24-year-old who impressed so many during the first half of the 2018-19 season and said he would never rule out a PO4 return.

Some have even suggested they’d be willing to back manager Kenny Jackett if such a move were to materialise! A major u-turn indeed in this current ciimate!

So what have fans been saying? Here’s a selection of the views shared with us via our Facebook page – Portsmouth FC: The News...

Marlon Neil: Thompson would be one of the few players that could gain Jackett a lifeline. The lads far too good for league 1.

Shawn Woodward: Is the type of player we need some 1 alongside Naylor who can drive forward pick a pass and support the front 4.

Sonny Flack: No chance but would be class if it happened.

Daniel Seymour: If he is available and open to a return, its a no brainer, but with the wage cap is it affordable to do?

Alfie Faithfull: Cant see it happening. Hope I'm wrong cus Ben Thompson made us tick

Connor Gilchrist: If we resign him on a permanent deal I will definitely back Jacket what a player he was for us.

Mel Clarke: I hope we are able to get him back again.

Adrian Timms: Do what it takes!

Jake Waterfall: BEST PLAYER WE’VE HAD ALONG WITH MATT CLARKE, GET HIM BACK !!!

Dan Shaw: The last time we were playing decent football was when he was here. That was a very long time ago. Get it done.

Ollie Roberts: Do whatever it takes to get him back!

Lorraine Wells: Would love Ben Thompson back!

Damien Shires: Love to see Ben Thompson back at Pompey.
