Tipper Liam ikke blir enig om lønna, og så sitter vi med både Kitson og Liam på lønningslista vår 1. september... dette har dratt for lenge ut til at det går i orden.

Her er litt om hva en Pompey supporter mener om Wilson.

Hi guys, was asked to come on here and post my views on your latest recruit Marc Wilson.

You may recognise me from www.twitter.com/josh23perry as I think I have half the population of Stoke following me now after the whole Wilson saga! Coggy on there asked me to post here - So here I am! It was a stressful piece of business and I'm glad it finally left both parties with smiles on their faces.

So lets cut to the chase - Your first question of course - How GOOD is Mr Wilson?

Marc joined the club as youngster - He was rejected by Man Utd as a boy & came to Pompey. He was loaned out a lot in his late teens to clubs like Bournemouth and Luton. He was getting rave reviews.

Then in the 2008/09 season, Tony Adams handed him his debut in the UEFA Cup. Wilson set two of the three Pompey goals up and was awarded man of the match. Not a bad start eh? Unfortunately, Adams was then sacked and Wilson didn't get much of a look in under clueless Paul Hart.

Then of course last season came along, and behind Jamie O'Hara, he was our player of the year. Yes I know what you are thinking, we finished last & so to be a player of the year at a club like that is not hard. However, seeing as it was his FIRST ever season as a regular in Premier League football. Not bad going - especially as he was played out of position for most of it (played at the back).

His main strengths are his passing. He has fantastic precision and can ping 40-50 yard balls all day long. He is strong too, very good in the tackle and also good in the air. The only actual weakness I think he has is that he's not the quickest of players. However, in the defensive midfield role he plays - that's never come as a problem because he just sits in front of the back four laying off the ball to the people who can run at people, therefore his lack of pace doesn't harm him at all.

He's by no means the finished article. He only turned 23 two weeks ago. It may take him a while to adapt to the Stoke philosophy and get settled up north - As he's been down south since he was 16. However, I have every faith in him becoming a top top player.

He's not the only player you've taken off us that I'm tipping big things for either. I know Begovic has not got off to a great start, but he really will be one of the top goalkeepers in the world in years to come. He is an almighty talent. However, still not the brightest imo. Florent Cuvelier who you nicked from us at the start of the summer is going to be a smash hit. The Pompey staff were absolutely fuming he left on a free as he carried the youth team & had scouts from the top clubs in Europe coming to watch him. I believe he rejected City to come to Stoke so you should see it as a real coup.

I wish Wilson & Stoke all the best for the new season. I'm absolutely gutted to see Marc go in all honesty. I am encouraged though with Lawrence and Kitson coming the other way. Let's hope they produce the goods.

Any questions you want asking - Fire away.

PS - Can you have Sonko back? He's absolutely terrible.
