Default My Portsmouth Team

I've just finished my second season at Portsmouth, after a top 1st season where i finished 6th my second season despite a few big signings went pretty badly and i've just finished in 10th position, i think a league cup win has kept the chairman off my back. Anyway here's my squad at present, what do people think about it? positives, negatives possible ins and outs?

I've one bid in progress for Pique for 1.6m so hopefully i'll add him to my squad.

GK Ochoa
DL Guilherme
DR Hutton
DC Luisao
DC Distin
DMC Muntari
MC Bentley
MC Kranjcar
AMC Arshavin
SC Martins
SC Utaka

Ashdown
Abreu
Nakamura
Kerlon
Assulin
Benjani - leaving on free

The team still only looks like a mid-table team.

In my experience (with Benfica) Guillerme is a good player. Ochoa, is also good enough but otherwise the backline is not top 4 quality. The signing of Pique should help but you should concentrate on trying to sign at least one more CB of similar quality.

Midfield is ok, but not spectacular. I don't know how much money you have available, but you should try to bolster it with a little bit more quality. See if Lulinha is still available, he may not be best suited to the premiership but should be available for £2.9m if he's still in Brazil. You may be too late though.

As for your strikeforce, I think you may end up too dependant on Martins. Kerlon could come good, but adding an extra bit of proven quality up front would be wise if you can afford it.

With a club like Portsmouth it is going to be a gradual process, I'd aim for UEFA again this season.

I'm hoping the Pique deal goes through - he's refused a contract at Man U and it expires shortly (i can't sign him on a free thou??). If i get him i'll be happy with my CB's, my RB Hutton worries me, not a world beater and i think i may need to switch him. As for a midfielder i'm offering Muntari about and hoping to get Banega in as my new DM. I then wanna look at a new SC, Utaka is my top scorer at the minute but need another for competition.

Yeah Pique should be a good singing, hopefully you get him.

If you want a RB, maybe try Alessandro Potenza (from Fiorentina). His stats, (with the exception of crossing @ 20), are fairly average, and his potential ability is only approx 155 (doing this from memory), but he actually performs really well at both RB and LB and in 2 seasons at Fiorentina he averaged 7.33 for me, and 7.39 @ Benfica. He should be availabe for £2-3m, or possibly on loan. Very much worth a gamble, especially if you like your wingbacks to push forward.

I've not had great experience with Banega, he tends to get sent off a lot and gets too many 6's. IMO, Lucas Biglia would be a better option, if he's not already moved to a bigger club.

I can't think of any strikers at the moment - as 2 years in to the game things can look very different. What's your budget and who do your scouts recommend?

i'm not sure yet on my budget because i've only just finished the season and so am waiting for the new budget. I'm not expecting a great deal because the current balance is only 9m and i've had two fairly hefty budgets in previous seasons. I've got 2.9m left though in the current budget and this is being used on Pique hopefully. i don't know too much about the CA and PA i'm quite naive when it comes to that and think if i don't know who are the best possible players then i'll have to find them myself (i find that more interesting!)

I like Huntelaar but think i'll need about 13 - 15m to get him.

What are people opinions on Hutton?
