Nugent is a good call, maybe the TP-Redknapp friendship might help our chances ? but would we again be out of our depth going for him ?

If we are out of our depth in going for Nugent on loan, then we might as well forget any hopes of ever seriously competing in the premiership right now. Portsmouth are no bigger than we are and Nugent has had one season of real success with Preston prior to his move south. Why would he ever be considered out of our depth?

But grapey haven't we got the big lump in Cresswell? He looks OK in the 'so deep-lying he's practically a centre mid' role, and Sidibe will be back at some point (no goals but adds something to the team). What worries me is losing Fuller to injury (must be a chance of 2-3 games) and suspension (guaranteed 2 for 10 yellows, maybe more to come), and general exhaustion. Lose or draw 5 games and suddenly you're left with a lot less cup finals.
Creative mid (left or centre) and nippy forward is my preference.
With them we should be ok, without we have to pray.

RAF - Jon Stead signed for blackburn in february 04 when it looked like they were going down...until Stead banged in 6 goals in 13 games, including goals in three 1-0 victories. So I would say there are a few blackburn fans who enjoyed the services of 'a poor man's crouch'

That's nice for them, I bet they don't want him back though.
I've never rated him and the fact that he is wasting away at Sheff Utd and not one team has come in for him speaks volumes to me.
He isn't the player we need although he is probably the type of player we will get.

Fair point...I just wanted to point out that once upon a time he hit some form and played a big part in keeping a team in the premiership.
I was thinking of realistic targets who would either be available on loan or wouldn't cost the world.

i did try and tell you that the harewood thing was a load of garbage, we have no intention of signing a striker in this window

Vigo I take your point, but just remember Periwinkle used to play for Juventus and according to some Pompey fans scored some good goals!!! H  |

Yeah, I agree, apb. We have no-one in the squad who could do even a pale imitation of Fuller. To lose him for any length of time doesn't bear thinking about  As you say, in the worst case scenario, we have Sidibe and Cresswell who can both be the more physical, withdrawn striker. But, unless we bring a left winger in , Cresswell's only an injury from being stuck on the left wing indefinitely, as Demar Phillips seems as close to the first team as Zara Phillips. |

as much as i would like Harewood or Stead, i think our midfield needs addressing more
However agree with aph we would be up the creek if fuller was out for a while for whatever reason
