Social media reaction
So far nothing imminent on the transfer front for Pompey but how does social media see things with eight hours left?
@mark11s: ‘I’m all for signing a striker but we could sign Lewandowski and he’d struggle to score from the constant stream of overhit crosses and threw balls produced by the other 9 outfield players. Sign a playmaker!’
@danieledmunds4: ‘Cullen said funds are there for the right player!!! The fans need something because at the moment club feels very far apart from the fans!’
@CowleysCows: ‘I find it odd majority have positive about Cowley’s in the transfer market up until now. Yet today it’s as if no one backs him. I trust Cowley’s in the market if they don’t bring in today when there’s money available to spend then I respect their judgement & reasoning.
