*Fernandes Fails Medical*

If they think 2 weeks will make a difference why not get him signed up anyway. If they think it's more serious then bin the deal all together.

agreed again steve, i have just posted i hope we take the risk, surely a deferred payment deal can be done. Or as you say if it is real serious bin or keep him here and hold an option on his contract in its entirety untill January. not the best comparisons but real madrid did it for Woodgate.

I don't doubt the money is there but the sort of players we're hoping to get see that we narrowly avoided relegation, when other clubs are interested and can offer them europe and better facilities than ours it's not so hard to understand why they end up going elsewhere. If we can improve this season then next season should be a bit easier to get the players we want.

continuing in my pessimist vane,.....next season not without the facilities steve, and according to an interview the guardian on line did with Sacha there now seems to be yet another problem with the stadium and it has been stopped ( have to say ive not read this anywhere else and it was a fairly anti pompey article). Gentleman in the Rutland who rang about the council about the training facility was told that there is no design for the training facility in place so planning consent can be considered. Everything is still years away.

I read the same article Oy Vey Pompey i believe it was called. It was obviously designed to suggest that Sacha has no money and that we are being funded by Arkady. Think it was also meant to cast doubt on HR's future. I took most of what it said with a pinch of salt. The comment about the stadium did concern me but nobody has actually backed that up. I would imagine that as the Training facility stands drawing up plans for it could be a lengthy process, especially if thay have to be approved in Israel first lol.

Thats a shame. He looks like a quality player but we can't bid if he's not fit. We don't want a sidelined player who will be earning masses of wages, its just not right. Lets hope his fitness will be sorted in a couple of weeks.

Re Nugent, i repeat Preston can afford not to sell him and believe they will get a lot more for him next year. HR does not believe he is worth the money (7 mill) they are asking...so Newcastle will take him and he'll bang in 20 goals. yep steve C i think it was the same article, i havent seen any back up for the stadium comments either and it has to be said the Gaydamaks and Guardians are opposite end of the political spectrum. I did spread (ooops) i mean hear a rumour the stadium delays are due to the awarding of the contract for sabbath sausage rolls, and of course the Kosher Balti pies :-).

although they look familiar and im starting to think they are re-issued reports furthermore Newsnow has not carried a report as yet so im getting a bit suspicious about this one. time to go checking

dont bother Pompey4Europe just checked and it is dated 27th JULY !!!! also i have just called my mate at AP and he says they do not have any info as yet, nor do newsnow and they are normally pretty quick. Unless it was on the radio solent or quay or something, but i cant find it on the net.

More quality reporting from Vitalfootball then...

theres a lot to be said about players like Nugent coming to a team like us where they will get to play and they have a point to prove. If they were signed by the likes of the big 4 their chances of playing would be much smaller.

Agree entirely Steve C, trouble is we just dont seem to be able to draw them in. I would have thought that for those very reasons we would have presented a tasty opportunity for Nugent to get into the premiership, prove himself week in week out, and take it on from there. If he moves bigger the chances are restricted, if he stays where he is his senior England chances will be reduced. Sadly it is not me that needs convincing.

russellm, this is the rabbi here. stop the jewish jokes now. it ain't pretty.

wakey normally i would agree with you and Steve C, how ever i cant becuase im being miserable and also because Nugent is playing aginst international class players for England under 21's and scoring. McClaren is known for wanting to promote players through that set up, i would love to be wrong but in the mean time it'll be the drugs.

there are better places to get pompey news than newsnow or AP, indeed local radio.

Don't ask my mum, she doesn't know the first thing about Pompey

pompey4europe you make these remarks alot and every time i have been proven right! Most will report it tomorrow but for now teamtalk are saying its a second failed medical, harry is saying we will review it later and so is square football. Can i remind you to discuss the article and not complain about it, if you have a complaint email me and i will be very happy to talk about the source of information from which this came from.

gents, Just heard Peter Storrie say on radio solent Fernandes deal still on, no further medical required, discussions with benfica still on going

wasn't my story in the first place but i 110% promise you that he had tests today and he is not ready to sign yet! otherwise he would have already

i did russ, yes, find an article, prob same one you did think it was ITV (a national reporting website) i used their quote in-fact! I then contacted the club and was told that after further tests he isn't ready to sign yet. OW NO it turns out that it wasn't a medical after all but whatever you want to call it, he isn't fit enough to sign yet!!!! FACT

Come on Pompey4europe, if you have a problem with les then take it to him direct, not over this website. Furthermore, you always have the option of not reading

didn't think you would

THIS ARTICLE IS NOT TRUE. FERNANDES HAS NOT FAILED ANOTHER MEDICAL, AS THERE WAS NO NEED FOR HIM TO. PETER STORRIE CONFRIMED TONIGHT THE PLAYER HAS ONLY HAD THE ONE MEDICAL, AND THE CLUB ARE STILL HOPEFUL OF SIGNING HIM.

pompey4Europe, im not a journalist i just get on this web site to find out about pompey like you, the reason i leave newsnow on is because it scans the web every 3-5 mins, including the official pompey site. if it is true you run another web site you should let people know.

I take it an apology to POL Admin will be forthcoming tonight

"May i also say that you can be sued for comments like that", indicating you may be sued for an article isnt very nice or mature.

sheer class it was a joke lol you really think i would sue a fans website for saying my name without permision. What would i get free membership to your site?

*their

Why? You publish you stories publicly, take the criticism publicly. you said all your stories were true - they aren't. The only stories which are right, are the ones everyone knows about already and other sites have already reported on.

You should have found out what it was about before publishing it.

Sorry, i got the wrong end of the stick Russell. I thought you had written the story. I have no problem with you, just whoever wrote this story.

you have a go at everyone even those not writing it lol

ANd i notice you have not changed you article. If you do, perhaps you could re-contextualise the quotes you used so we can see what HR was talking about.

If you got that, what was your last comment about? Admit this story is a fabrication, you got it all wrong, whatever.

look i will be leaving soon and then you can be happy!!

mate whatever the deal is, you have to pass a medical! next week next year whatever he still has to do one and today he did tests and he didn't sign... i'm sure he will next week!

if thats true... then why did he have a medical in the first place?

whatever mate, we aren't going to agree

JUST GOT HOME FROM WORK TO SEE THIS TALK! I CAN'T GET THE FULL JIST OF IT BUT FROM WHAT I CAN SEE A LOT OF THE COMMENTS HERE DON'T EVEN BELONG IN THIS SECTION, PERSONALLY I THINK SOME OF THESE COMMENTS BELONG IN THE FORUM, OR BETTER STILL E-MAILED DIRECT TO THE EDITOR. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHAT LES HAS DONE HERE, BUT BASICALLY HE'S GIVING UP HIS TIME TO TRY AND GIVE US ALL A SITE. IF PEOPLE KEEP PUSHING HIM HE'LL GO AND THERE WILL BE NO VITAL POMPEY, I CAN ASSURE YOU IT WOULDN'T BE AS EASY TO RUN AS SOME MAY THINK! I'D SAY THAT SHOULD THE SPONSORS, AND THOSE THAT ADVERTISE ON VITALFOOTBALL COME ACROSS THIS KIND OF TALK (TIME AND TIME AGAIN) ON A MAIN PAGE ARTICLE THEY MAY RECONSIDER THEIR DEALS WITH VITALFOOTBALL WHICH COULD RUIN IT FOR US ALL!!! NO SPONSORS/ADVERTISERS NO VITALFOOTBALL, MEANING NO VITAL POMPEY, VITAL CHELSEA, VITAL ARSENAL ETC ETC... LET'S GIVE LES, AND OTHER JOURNALISTS (AND NOT JUST ON VITAL POMPEY!) A BREAK, DO WE NEED TO SNIPE ALL THE TIME??? I'LL BE HONEST MAYBE I DON'T LIKE SOME THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN HERE AND THROUGHOUT VITAL FOOTBALL BUT I EITHER DON'T READ IT, OR GIVE IT THE ONE LOOK AND THAT'S IT. HAVE YOUR SAY AND WALK AWAY, IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, PUT IT IN THE FORUM WHERE IT BELONGS OR E-MAIL THE EDITORS!!!

One has to wonder why he has a problem contacting Les by email. there are any number of free web based emails where he could set up an address and bin it afterwards. Seems to me all we are doing is adding to his pleasre by responding to his juvenile rantings. Best we all ignore Pompey4europe from now on.

Aout time Les was replaced. Constant speculation he quotes as Fact.

PMSL

I don't know about anyone else but i wouldn't want to try and run this site. Pompey is notoriously difficult to get information out of. Even if you get a quote direct from HR you have to take it with a pinch of salt as he loves to tease the media by making vague comments interspersed with the odd downright lie. Truth be told what is more important to me than the stories is being able to talk football without the mud slinging that seems to occur on just about every message board and forum i've ever signed up to.

russelm PMSL = ***** myself laughing.... how do i cheer u up lol

oh and conscience is correct spelling *ding* although i thought it had an o in it. so technically it means "within science", interesting

I DO NOT run another site. Whoever told you that Les is wrong. I have neither the time, skill or desire to run a website.

LOL - i post on their messageboard occasionally but i don't run it my any stretch of the imagination. Who told you i ran the site Les? That 'someone' wouldn't be yourself guessing would it?

ok whatever, do you moan on that site aswel?

No, that site is well run, informative and has far more insight into what is happening than this site. If i did have a problem with POL, i'm sure that i'd be allowed to air my criticism publicly and without being insulted. And Les, i ask you again, who told you i ran POL?

why if pompeyonlines forum is so good why are you here?

may be there is some truth in some of what you say and ive disagreed with Les and the main Vital Administration over sensorship, but i couldnt administer a site so im reluctant to criticise. im sorry but i dont want to continually read your disagreement with Les on what has become the longest thread ever, i want to blab on pointlessly about things like tomorrow being the first Pompey game my boy is coming to watch with me & im really excited, i hope to see Fernandes play in a week or so. and as i was aginst Kanu coming but i'll get behind him tomorrow, and as somebody else has posted when you've had a pint Kanu's first name is funny. Off to buy my boy his first shirt, might even risk a fernandes name on the back

aint true though I LOVE MY CLUB

that aint true i LOVE MY CLUB and i'm leaving vital today anyway so you won't have that problem anymore!

I LOVE MY CLUB
