So, why did we want to force the price down? If his medical all went well, we are just doing this to save ourselves some cash and screw over Pompey, yes?

Am I the only one who thinks this morally wrong and thinks our reputation will suffer because of it? Clubs will think twice about selling us a player in future.

Am I missing something?

Yes but wasnt it Harry who tried to 'up' the price when the FA deemed the deal as done within the transfer window, so he thought he change price tag?

I assume that we negotiated it this way due to his knee injury history, hence it being £X million up front with the rest based on appearances.

It worries me tbh. I was reading the Mirror and that said it was US trying to pull out of the deal. Why would wwe do that if everything was fine???

I gotta admit, that was my initial reaction. But we seem to learn more about this deal day by day, and my guess is that we haven't heard the last of this yet so, hopefully we'll learn the truth soon enough.


Yes, all right.. Christ Almighty! It's like walking down a corridor and answering the door in Nazi Germany!

Well, I hope so, but hardly reason for us to crow about it.

Cos the City Board didn't want to be the ones to pay for Defoes transfer  - I'd prefer us to known as hard negotiaters than the usual - 'Oh, it's only City - we can screw the living daylights out of them' We were in a position to re negotiate our terms - any other business woudl have done it

You mean we as in the forum or we as in the club? I think fans are happy as it's one over 'arry, petty I know but somewhat satisfying.

I mean the forum. I hate 'arry more than anyone, but I can't find much satisfaction in this. Especially as Portsmouth are no doubt secretely delighted they got what they did for him.
