Southampton Want Winger Who Starred For Portsmouth Last Season
Thursday, 1st Aug 2024 11:17

Russell Martin has already said he want to bring in another winger, whether that is Ryan Fraser or otherwise now it seems we want a player who was a major part of Pompey's promotion push last season.

footballinsider247.com have reported that Saints are looking to bring in a player who was a hero to the Fratton faithful last season and it will mean alarm bells ringing in the Fratton End as they lose a hero to Southampton.

The man in question is Norwich City winger Abu Kamara, the 21 year old had made just 3 League appearances for the Canaries up to last summer when he joined Pompey on a season long loan.

But he played in all 46 games of Pompey's League One promotion winning season, 37 of them in the starting line up, scoring 8 goals along the way.

Now it seems that he could be set for a move back to the South Coast, however I would suggest that this could be one of these agent fuelled rumours, Saints already have far better wide options than Kamara at the club now and it is also a big jump from League One to the Premier League.

Beginning to wonder if the club really believe in Martin. His comments about Shea Charles were interesting, suggesting publicly that we need more faces in the club before the season starts. Not sure if that’s a hint to the board, but they need to get a move on with a keeper and a creator. Why haven’t we already brought in ORiley if he’s a 20-25 player? The days are ticking by and the only one who looks likely is a guy who can’t get a start for Palace..
Back to being rather concerned again! Come on board get the players in, every point will be vital!

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
