****Breaking news****

I’m told a pompey winger is about to be announced. We think it’s either Matt Richie or paddy lane

I signed him in Football Manager when I got us promoted to the Championship in the equivalent of last season and he did ok.

So he must be great. :?

12 goals, 7 assists with Pompey in L1 in 2023/24

13 starts 1 goal, 1 assist in the Champ last season.

24.

If we sign him, for free or a low fee, its a blinder imo!

Couldn't they just photoshop over Bowler's pics?

Thought Noel was adding another to our Irish band of brother's however Paddy was born in Halifax :shock: :shock: he does have Irish blood though through family connections.
This should be a very solid signing and fills a gap on the right wing!! not sure what will happen to Andre Garcia now as left back is now pretty well filled up and with decent cover. I guess he will be back up to Paddy Lane.

Fair play. Great signing, and really kept it under wraps. Bowler to follow?

Do we know if it was a free transfer as he still had a year left on his Pompey contract.

Didn`t pull up any trees in the championship last season, here`s hoping L1 is his level.

Thanks Brogue.
Wondering whether Louie Sibleys name has been mentioned anywhere. Apparently Oxford are willing to let him go. Pains me to pay money to them for a player. But would be a great addition especially if Knibbs does leave.
