Hide AdCan’t fault the club here. On paper it’s a cracking bit of business. #Pompey
@chrismpowers
Be a good signing this, the depth we need in key attacking positions!
@Mourbyyy
Hope he does not easily get cream crackered.
@stevebone1
#pompey Jacobs played one game in AM role second half last season for approx 29 mins. Match was won, against Huddersfield.
@bobpompey
Jacobs would be a quality addition to the squad but I get the feeling this might be in anticipation of Ronan Curtis leaving. Brentford will be loaded and like a League One signing. They may offer #Pompey a fee they can't refuse.

@GaryDTrotman
Any opposition should be scared of a man willing to play under Jackett twice willingly welcome Michael Jacobs #pompey

Hide AdI was at the Wigan game up at their place and he tore us to shreds that day
Forrest Watson
Good signing this, brilliant record at this level and (arguably) proven in the championship
Tom Chapman
As long as Jackett doesn’t play him goal, this could turn out to be a decent signing.
Dave Clarke
Excellent signing. Definitely Championship standard. We’ve done well to get him.

Hide AdGood number of appearances in the champ last season, and Wigan ended the season in great form, the relegation purely financial, so looks like a steal
