Larsson, in his prime was easily the best opposition striker i have ever seen.

If its for 6 months or so we couldnt do much better considering the budget!

That's not far from the truth, Zero. Remember the Ambani rumour which started on TW? Then some melt added it to the Ambani wiki page, complete with grammar and spelling mistakes. Within a couple of days the newspapers were repeating it almost word-for-word. It must be great being a sports journalist.

That's the funniest thing I've read since the last time someone suggested that Moyes might lurk on forums looking for tips on team selection.

I have it on good authority that most rumours in the papers come from agents. Either because they represent the player the rumour's about or because they represent a player who they want to place at the club that the player the rumour is about currently plays for.

eg Player X plays at club Y. Agent for player Z starts rumour that club Q is after X. Club Q might not actually be interested in X but other clubs will be, and if they think that he's available and that Y will sell they will bid. At the same time club Y notices big interest in X and decides to cash in while there's competition for him and they can get a good price.
Agent for Z then touts Z to club Y as a replacement for X.

Larsson and Nugent were the first names to be mentioned because they're just about the only names people have heard of who are actually available.
Plus Larsson did a short term loan at Man U last season, and Nugent is well known to want to play for Everton, and is patently desperate to leave Portsmouth.
 
The Nuge is an intresting one, two years ago he was a must for us getting to the next level and people were so sure hed make it, now hes gash according to everyone.

The truth lies probably somewhere in between, i dont think hes got many chances in the team and by that rationaile baines is eqaully as gash!

I wouldnt mind the lad getting a chance with us, but i couldnt see Adams letting a player go to a rival midseason.

Larrson is the future! (short term).
 
Nuge or Larsson??? I feel uneasy about both. Larsson way past it and Nugent looked horrible last year for Pompey. At a strech I would side on youth and go Nugent also because he is a Evertonian. BUt he would be riding the pine for Vic methinks.
 
I'd go for Nugent on loan with an option to buy at a reasonable price in summer if he comes good. Larsson maybe on a pay per play - anything more would just be a huge gamble.

That's what I thought, I'd love him here personally.

He'd provide great cover for when Saha is injured and would an excellent role model for the younger lads. He'd be the perfect solution because we don't need a striker for the long term. This would also be his last chance on a big stage. I reckon he'd give us everything.
