garycassidy1802 37 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I wasn't that against the idea of signing Smith, however with Beattie looking likely to come in, I'd rather see the money invested on a younger player.How would Peterborough react if we waved a cheque for a about 1.3 million in their face for George Boyd for example?Not a big George Boyd fan but that makes much more sense than Smith. But apparently we are still in talks with Jelavic, Welcome is playing a friendly and we're bidding on Beattie and Smith :S we should really be looking for wingers and a left back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5cotland 71 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Portsmouth manager Steve Cotterill has warned Rangers they will not land striker Tommy Smith at a bargain price. Pompey need to offload players to fund their way out of administration, but Cotterill is adamant he wants to keep Smith at Fratton Park.Rangers have tabled an offer for the 30-year-old, who joined Pompey from Watford for £1.5million last season, but Cotterill says their bid is some way off Smith's price tag. "He isn't for sale, he isn't one of the players we'd be looking to lose," Cotterill told the Portsmouth News. "He's a good player and what has been offered wouldn't be the figure we would put on him if we did want to sell. "We're trying to get ourselves straight at this club and we don't want to lose one of our better players. "If someone does go, it won't be at the valuations people are putting on them at the moment."

Big Laff's Dodgy Barnett 20 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 people are saying we need a left-back, Walter won't sign one as he has Papac at Lb, and Broadfoot at Rb, then he has Whitakker, who can play both full pack positions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,488 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 they wanted 5m for g boyd last seasonAfter a good performance against Blackburn in the Crling Cup they were rumoured to want that for him.Since then Peterborough have been relegated and he was packed out to Nottingham Forrest on loan they were also rumoured to have had a 2 million pound option to buy in place and they didn't take it up.Anyway it looks like he's staying where he is because he signed a new deal about a month ago.
