Chelsea winger SWP has been linked with the club recently. He is similar to Jermain Defoe when he was at Spurs in the sense that he’s a fantastic player but never plays! The Chelsea man looked as if he was getting a good run in the side until Avram Grant took charge and then it was back to the bench for Wright-Phillips.

I along with probably all Pompey fans would love to see Shaun at Pompey. I think he’s just what we need. While Utaka has done okay on the right this season, a lot of the time he has looked short of ideas and he seems to just run in straight lines, relying too heavily on his pace. SWP on the other hand can beat men and deliver a final ball. He’s also good for a few goals.

Here’s what Harry Redknapp had to say:

“I haven’t spoke to anyone at Chelsea,” he told The News. “But I like Shaun. He’s a terrific talent. I wouldn’t know how much Chelsea wanted for him, though, if they were going to sell.

“Of course he’s the type of player I would love to have, though. He’s an excellent player.”

If I was to put a price on SWP I would probably think around £8million was reasonable. While Chelsea did pay £21million for him, I think it’s fair to say his value has decreased from then.

Sidney Govou

I like the look of this potential transfer purely because of the fee being thrown around- £6million. I think that would be a good deal on Pompey’s part because Govou is a great player, proven at the highest level.

He’s a player that can help Pompey progress and he’d help improve the team for next season’s Uefa Cup campaign.

A right midfielder like SWP, the advantages with Govou over Wright-Phillips are the price tag and the greater expereince of Govou.

If I had to choose one I’d probably go with SWP. But it could be possible to accomadate both in the squad.

Marcelo Mattos

I know very little about this player other than the fact that he’s Brazilian, plays for Panathinaikos and is a central midfielder. Looking at our squad we don’t desperately need another CM however I don’t know enough about him to make any real comments.

Nicky Shorey

YES! Simple as that. This deal must go through! If there’s one area of the team that needs improving it is left back. Hemanator and Pamarot have done okay playing there this season, but that’s exactly it, they’ve done ‘okay’. While the rest of the team have stood out, the left back spot has always been less sparkling.

Shorey is first and foremost a good defender. He can work well in terms of positioning with the three other defenders, he knows when to come accross on the cover and when to push on to his man etc.

He’s also very good going forward. Something than Herman in particular is poor at.

Shorey is at a good age and looks to be available at a good fee. The fee is said to be around £3million.

Richard Dunne

The Man. City hard man has had a fantastic season. He’s shone imensely throughout the campaign and has proved that he is a top quality centre back. His performance(s) against rivals United inparticular were heroic.

His positional sense is up there with best in the Premiership. Part of the reason Micah Richards did so well at Cebtre Back was that when Richards was positionally poor, Dunne would always ‘clean up’ after young Micah. He’s also shown what an inspirational leader he can be.

If he could link up with Sylvan Distin again then I think they could form another great partnership. While my beloved Sol ‘n’ Sylv have been outstanding this season, there’s no doubting that towards the end of the season Sol was looking more and more weary. I’m not sure if Sol has another full season left in him. Therefore it’s imperative that we bring in another CB, and Dunne would be my first choice, especially considering his low price tag of £1million.

“I like Richard Dunne,” said manager Harry Redknapp. “I think he’s a top player but I think there’s a couple of clubs in for him at the moment, but I think we’ve got as good a chance as anyone now.

“We’ve got in the UEFA Cup for next year and we’ve got some good players so hopefully we can start to compete with the Tottenham’s and the Aston Villa’s and teams like that.”

“I would be interested in moving to England if I receive the right offer,” said Luisao.

“I have a deal with Benfica until June 2011 but now I am prepared to leave. The rumours about the interest of some clubs are interesting, but those depend on my club. I would be prepared to speak with other teams.”

Reasonable? Reasonable??? Half of that sum is pushing the boundaries of reasonable! £10million would be well over-the-top. But £15mil? Come on Rafa?!?

I’m not saying this because I think Crouch isn’t good. But that’s exactly what he is. Good. He aint’ world-class as the term is often thrown around. He is not £15million pounds worth of striker.

I’d like him back for Pompey. He’s effective and I think he’d form a formidable partnership with JD.

But for £15million I want something SPECIAL!

Last season Barca signed Thierry Henry for £16million. Fair enough he’s not had a great season but still, that’s Thierry Henry! This is Peter Crouch.

I’d be very, very suprised (not to mention dissapointed) if Harry Redknapp coughed up £15mil for him.

Big Sol is out of contract in the summer and it’s looking more than likely that he won’t be offered a new deal.

Luisao is valued at £12million by Benfica, which if you ask me is a bit high. Having said that though it’s very difficult to find a decent centre-back these days. Plus with the king of all bussinessmen at the helm, I’m sure we can knock a few millions off of that price tag.

I’d definately like to see Luisao come to Fratton Park. He’s strong, experienced, and I think would suit the premiership.

However I’d also like Sol to stay as he’s agreat influence in the dressing room and has been fantastic as skipper this season.

Could a swap deal be on the cards?

But he hasn’t said he doesn’t want to go.

Make of it what you will but I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes. He’s always fancied playing abroad and he isn’t getting any younger.

Plus the fact that two former team-mates play for them (Bobby Pires and That man Cygan!) will sway his mind in that direction.

Because of this fine form he has attracted quite a bit of attention, this time from The Emirates.

Niko is held in very high regard by Arsene Wenger and if Alex Hleb decides to leave then He’ll almost certainly make a move for Kranjcar.

You can see why. He fits their criteria perfectly: Creative. Intelligent. Great technique. Relatively young.

I don’t want him to go. Sure I’m stating the blatantly obvious but there will be a lot of Pompey fans looking at the money coming in and licking their lips.

But I think we’re past the stage where we need to really consider money. We need to be looking to build a squad that can consistently get Uefa Cup and perhaps even look to close the gap on the big 4.

However if he were to leave I’d want/expect at least £12million

However Pompey fan’s don’t be worried. It turns out this happens quite a lot. When the clubs realise they aren’t going to finalise everything before the window shuts, they just call it a loan deal and then work out the rest of the details the next week.

A club spokesman cleared the matter:

“The Defoe transfer was done as an initial loan because of time restraint.

“The full documents will be signed and registered this week and this is a standard method when you have little time.”

Thank God!

For a moment I was very worried. If it was only a loan deal it would have meant that come the summer, our only real striker would have been the ageing Kanu.

Despite the paperwork not being completed on time last night, there is a rule which sometimes allows the transfer to go ahead even if it was completed after the deadline.

Pompeys top scorer is believed to want to move to City, and the clubs have agreed fees.

In all honesty I don’t think any Portsmouth fan would want him to leave. He runs himself into the ground, he has a great relationship with the fans, and this season he’s started scoring goals.

Him and new signing Defoe up front together would be brilliant!

However I do think he’ll leave. Even if not this time then in the summer quite certainly.
