Hirst to Blackpool 17:37 - Aug 18 with 4798 views | Pompey1234 | It seems Pompey made a deal with Blackpool and Leicester. Blackpool tried to hijack the Bishop deal at the last minute. Bishop was going to Broomfield until Pompey stepped in with zn alternative. Hirst could've come back to fratton but ipswich would offer more wages. However, we got Bishop and Blackpool gave Hirst championship football. Leicester were holding out for a fee that ipswich would not pay and in fact changed their or your tact completely by going after Bonne at QPR. This has act freed the whole situation and consequently come to light. Hirst will, we are hearing in Pompey, join Blackpool |  | | |  |

Are you after a striker at QPR? Apparently, ipswich would not meet the asking price? Therefore Leicester are loaning him out to a championship side |  | |  |

A- Levels? Would have thought the ability to compose paragraphs would be a pre requisite. |  |

Did you even read my post? You mentioned Bonne in your OP. Are you saying we're going for him? If so, based on what? You repeated the question back to me and posted about Hirst. |  |

Hirst to Blackpool on 17:52 - Aug 18 with 3669 views | clive_baker | Genuine quesiton, why would / did Bishop choose Pompey over Blackpool? If he goes to Blackpool that's fine for me as they might move Lavery on to fund it. I would love to see us sign him. [Post edited 18 Aug 2022 17:55]

Not much makes sense about the OP but I suspect they are desperate to see something go wrong for us. Like the post above, it wouldn't surprise me if he was on the list and once we asked about the fee it was a no go. |  |

That's it, no one knows. Appleton claimed a reason that would become apparent. Leicester offered Blackpool Hirst after pompey tempted Bishop. Leicester held out for a fee. You don't want to pay Truebluearmy.com |  | |  |

Surprises me that he would rather move from one end of the country to the other, for a club that had just finished 10th in L1 than step up to a midtable Championship side 30 miles down the road. It's possible of course, just seems unlikely. |  |

I think thats just it, our transfers are largely out of the blue before the Twitter rumours start off. So by the time everything came out about Celina and Hirst I think it was largely done for us as outside the window of when Ashton would do a deal. At the end of the day I am not madly upset and maybe it's Yates we want and this chain will now complete. |  | |  |

I was wondering that. For a 23 year old he really hasn’t done much in the professional game. Good at England yoof level, 13 goals in 40 games for Portsmouth last season, he isn’t somebody you’d want to pay over the odds for, is he? His dad was a damn good player. |  | |  |

Oh yes, I remember his dad. He knew where the net was for sure , and was real handful for defences. I think unfortunately his demise was due to injury ( at PR I seem to recall), and then later from the bottom of a bottle. Quite sad really, as such a talent. |  |

Hirst to Blackpool on 22:20 - Aug 18 with 2229 views | itfcsuth | Happy we didn’t meet the asking price. The figure being reported by Leicester was pure madness. We move on to an alternative option, no big issue. |  | |  |

I think the Hirst and Celina ones have not been kept quiet because we have likely already moved on to a more realistic target. |  |
