Portsmouth need to ‘nail’ summer transfer window says Andrew Moon

By Total Football News

Can Portsmouth nail the summer transfer window?

They certainly did in John Mousinho and Richard Hughes’ first summer together in 2023, constructing a squad that won promotion from League One.

Three of last season’s first choice back four arrived in that summer. The past two years have been more of a mixed bag, with Championship survival requiring good January windows.

Portsmouth opinion: Andrew Moon on John Mousinho’s future

By Total Football News

I’ve been to managerial press conferences that have been tense. Awkward topics get raised and things can get frosty or hostile quite quickly.

This was not the case with John Mousinho on Wednesday. For the best part of an hour he took questions on his future in a composed, relaxed and thoughtful way.

What did we learn? Mousinho was adamant that at this stage there has been no contact between

On the surface Portsmouth aren’t in a bad position. Their key objective this season is to stay in the Championship. They are currently a point above the bottom three with at least one game in hand on the sides around them.

However, a quick look under the bonnet and things are a little more concerning. The injury crisis has reached epic proportions and there are key absentees.

Sunderland 1-0 Portsmouth: Andrew Moon analysis on Pompey loss

By Total Football News

It was a much better performance compared to some we have seen on the road from Portsmouth recently, but still not quite good enough to get anything from their match at Sunderland.

Pompey gave away a sloppy early goal but were more solid after that. Rob Atkinson looked good after coming off the bench for his debut.

They had their chances on the break but were not as clinical as

By Total Football News

With two weeks without a match, having most of the squad on the training ground is a big positive and should leave manager John Mousinho with significantly more options.

In fact the squad is a bit too big – three players will have to be excluded when the 25-man list is declared and they won’t be able to play until January.

However, Cardiff also reached City’s asking price meaning it was down to Robertson where he ended up.

Cardiff’s budget is likely to be higher than Pompey’s so I’d imagine they were offering him more money.

Not everything comes down to money, though, and there was hope that the good relationships last season might have drawn the player to the south coast.

It was not to be.

This is in no

Analysis: Andrew Moon on why Marlon Pack’s new deal is so significant

By Total Football News

When you drop out of the Championship at the age of 31, the chances are that you will probably not return to that level of football.

But Marlon Pack is not your average player and certainly not your average character.

Leading Portsmouth to the League One title was not enough to guarantee a return for the midfielder to the second tier.

Pack’s original two-year contract expired this summer and
