David Nugent

[Shaggy]

Is it me or is it ****ing weird that Pompey signed him in the summer for £6m and are now reportedly trying to sell him?

At first it seemed a ludicrous bull**** rumour but now I'm not so sure. He's lost his place (after just two starts) and the stories about trying to flog him are becoming more widespread.

Why?!?!?

FWIW I don't think he's "all that" and certainly not worth the £6m they paid for him. Has Redknapp seen him in training and decided he's not good enough? Or has he just used him?

Very strange.

One of the most average strikers around really (England International, don't you know)......never saw anything to make you sit up and take notice..

Redknapp probably realised this right after seeing him up close for the first time and may have a chance to offload him quickly to make back what they shelled out..

[Lee]

It's a weird one certainly.

Saw it in a newspaper a month or so ago and thought nothing of it - you know - perhaps a typo in the article. But now everyday there seems to be something about Harry wanting to offload him.

Perhaps he's got a ****e attitude (from what I've seen of him, he appears to be a bit of a cocky ****), or maybe he's not as good as Harry thought. I don't even think he's started for them yet

Certainly a strange one either way.

He started their first two games and has been bombed out since.

Ah I see... does seem stranger then that Redknapp won't give him a run of 4-5 games in the Prem to see how he does. He's obviously not happy with his strikers with sniffing around Yakubu/Anelka and so on.

Plus he's not said anything to stop speculation on Nugent leaving, so it looks like he'll be off

[kurtangle01]

He's average at best. I suspect that Redknapp has had a closer look and realised this for himself. Nugent is a good Championship player but he's not suited to the Prem.

To slow, terrible first touch, poor movement etc...

The fact the the blue****e, who he supports, wouldn't pay more than £4m for him yet they'll pay £11m for Yakubu says alot to me.

[Imy]

Yep i too said the same thing to my brother, looks like hes fallen out already at Portsmouth, from all accounts Harry Redknapp is fair man so he must have really pissed him off or be really crap!

He should have gone to Sunderland the silly guy, He would have been 1st choice and had a run of games at a club where they haven't got the quality of striker thats going to compete and keep you out the 1st team.

[Tee]

Nugent is just not good enough IMO, but I would have thought he would have got a better run to prove himself.

Portsmouth are a very athletic team playing at a quick pace and I do not think Nugent is suited to that style. I do think that Nugent is better suited at a club like Derby.

Good business if Pompey get their money back.

[spud_gun]

Good business if Pompey get their money back.

I'd be very, very surprised if Pompey get anything near 6 million for him.

They'll be lucky if they get more than 4.

[Kenneth]

Everton wanted him. says it all.

I think its very bizzare indeed.

Maybe Harry has seen that Anelka is a real possiblity and said that Nugent is not as good as him so they can get rid of him.


Bizzare..............

[CJ]

but can they sell him?

isnt there a rule about how many teams you can play for in a year?

i thought you could only play for two. and he has played for north end and for pompey.

could be wrong

But does that ruling come in at the start of the season or calender year??
