    Good. Not a clue what he’s like, and neither do most of you. Can honestly say I’ve never seen him play, and can never remember his name mentioned on any highlights show.

    I just hope that IF they have player/s lined up that we do not chuff about like the McBurnie fiasco, which arguably cost us our championship status.

    Some Coventry fans commenting that a local pompey paper believes were trying to outbid them last minute. Cov look favourites though.

    Saw an article saying this too - https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/...th-s-chaplin-from-coventry-clutches-1-8618656

    Could be a legit attempt from us to hijack or it could be a ploy by agent or Pompey to squeeze more money out of Cov

    Probably pompy trying push figures higher. I get the impression we won’t bother if we get the German lad.

    Would've been a decent signing but I'm only going on his reputation. I'd be a little worried that Pompy weren't willing to change their system to get him more game time. If he was as good as we're led to believe he is then surely they'd have found a way to get him more game time.

    I think he fell down the pecking order after our signing last week and the impending transfer of Bahre

    Don’t think we were ever in the running however we did enquire speaking to a few people. Agent talk mainly pumping him up to cov and trying to get the best deal for Pompey, we were the bargaining chip it appears

    Reckon we made an inquiry early on, and then it’s probably been used to inflate the fee Coventry have paid. Didn’t we try to get him in a swap deal? Seeing their fans on Twitter it’s like they’ve signed the next Michael Owen. I’m not sure Kenny Jackett is daft enough to let a world beater go out on loan to a divisional rival.

    He may be a decent prospect but not really done much in 120 games at L1 and L2 level, but hope we’ve a few aces in the pack that are better.

    No great loss as far as I can see.

    Looks a brilliant prospect to me and would have done a cracking job for us.
