Deal or no deal? Glen Little...
So, we have some 15 players out of contract in the summer (or seeing their loans with Pompey end) it is almost time to decide who deserves a new contract and who does not deserve the drippings from my nose, well ours noses!
I was going to look at them all together, but I think I will do them one at a time... Simple question, and as the bearded one would say, 'deal or no deal?'
Glen Little
I still say that the guy is better than a lot of people give him credit. His delivery is much better than people credit, he is just so immobile that this makes him look far less effective than he actually is - the constant injuries he picks up also do not help.
Rumours that Everton were sniffing around on deadline day tell their own story do they not? But the fact that he has returned to his former club Reading on loan also tell another, and are a clear indicator as to what the future will bring...
In all honesty he probably came to Pompey a couple of years too late - he was a player that Jamie's Dad had always wanted, and as he did with others - including a guy I could not stand, Andy 'the mercenary' Cole - he eventually got the player, but probably too late in the career.
Deal or no deal? No deal.
For me always brought in on a short-term deal, and as he was not one that the current manager signed I think this makes it even more likely he will depart.
If that is not enough of an indicator the fact that he has been allowed to see out his contract with Reading is!
These are my thoughts, what about yours? As always please share them below...

that said, lik i have said, i still think that little could have offered us something if he wasnt so prone to injuries and/or given more of a chance - would he have offered anything less than utaka and some others players had...

tbh i must confess that i am 'slightly' uneasy whatever happens - stay up or go down - as go down and of course everyone goes, stay up and i still worry about offers being accepted for players! that said releasing most of those that are out of contract, and to be fair most are not 1st team players anyway 'should' slash around £1.5m-£2m per month off the wage bill, which will help.
