I'm happy to see him sign for an ambitious side like Shrewsbury.

Bit of a shame, and a bit of a surprise tbh.
I think I may feel a bit of a damp patch!
RE: Get ready for the meltdown - Northstander - 30-06-2022
DC quoted earlier today saying communication with AOB was continuing. Well it won't be now................
RE: Get ready for the meltdown - Pedalo_menders - 30-06-2022
It's all part of the strategy. Have a player that wants to stay and says so publicly. Ignore him for a month. Send him a derisory offer. Ignore for another few weeks. Show surprise that he signed for someone else.

Shows how clueless the club is. No idea what is going on.

I’d say it shows how clueless the manager is. Players want to feel wanted and he clearly either hasn’t been hearing from DC or doesn’t have the respect for him to be honest.
Arry would have had him locked in the spare room with Sandra taking him tea and cake until he signed.

Sure I'll have a pint of meltdown please. The boy wanted to be here and we won't find better, we fucked about and we found out
RE: Get ready for the meltdown - BlueArmy - 30-06-2022
So O Brien rejects us and signs for the mighty Shrewsbury. Obviously we are unwilling to compete with Shrewsbury on player wages.
This again is a utter disgrace.
If there was any proof further happy clappers that things are terribly wrong at this club, this is evidence of it. No positive spin can be put on this.
Get them all out of our club now.

OK, NOW I’m getting concerned.
Probably down to the fact that we treated him contemptuously (apparently).
I’ll await an explanation from the club, hopefully it will be convincing.

It won't be. You should know better than that.

You knew this was happening though right? Did your sources forget to tell you about this?
RE: Get ready for the meltdown - Tomsk - 30-06-2022
If the manager didn't really fancy him, for whatever reason, its pointless him being here tbf. Disappointing from my point of view but then I'm not the one who has to make decisions.
RE: Get ready for the meltdown - Kingo - 30-06-2022
The manager prefers players like Walker
RE: Get ready for the meltdown - briefcase_wanchor - 30-06-2022
I wouldn’t be concerned at missing out on AOB if
- this was 2-3 weeks ago
- we had other strikers on board
- there was real reassurance that there were other realistic irons in the fire
- we had lost out to a rival or greater
As none of those are true, this could soon resemble a scene from Dads Army.

You can’t blame Cowley for walker he is a signing on paper that should of worked and when we signed him every supporter was happy with it.
Walker just didn’t fancy it in league one and had no confidence!!
RE: Get ready for the meltdown - Pompeyg100 - 30-06-2022
I imagine DC found out when Shrewsbury announced it on Twitter.
RE: Get ready for the meltdown - mike hunt - 30-06-2022
The trouble is the longer we go without signing a striker the more they will cost (as it looks like desperation) & if that's the case
will they want to really play for Pompey or just come for the money , like others we have signed. it feels that all our rivals are buying players yet we aren't !
RE: Get ready for the meltdown - DeepBlue - 30-06-2022
No player leaving is a problem as long as he is replaced with better. So we'll have to wait and see if this is a good thing or a bad thing. We have lost a very effective substitute, he was far better coming off the bench than starting, so we need to find another one.
Bit surprised at AOB though after all the things he said about loving it here. Doesn't show much ambition to go to Shrewsbury just for a few quid more.

I think you reflected the arrogance of the club quite well in that last paragraph.

At the moment yes but we’ve only made one signing SO FAR so we’ll see at the end of the window whether is still holds true or not.
