Some players, not all. Robbie has done well after we were told not to expect much.Johnno's Beer Gut said:Even if we signed Villa today its asking a lot for him to start the game on Saturday and be and instant match winner.
any new players from abroad are going to take a minimum of 6 months to settle in and get used to the prem.

Not the best example to use, as it was probably the same people who negotiated a year ago. Not so hard to do also with a club as desperate as Portsmouth are.

I know we were going to, I posted something ages ago about my dad being on a golf day with Cook, and being assured it was almost certainly going to go through....just seems like we didn't get our act together on that one an Real did. I just hope we don't do that all window, thats all.

I can´t stress enough. It´s Real Madrid...not Luton Town. Portsmouth sold an important player before the window opened because they are desperate. The player chose to go Madrid cos they´ve got a certain reputation and are playing the Champs Lge.
