Yes I have seen our midfield for the last 3 or 4 seasons - in fact, I’ve seen the Pompey midfield for the last seventy five (75) seasons, probably longer than you have been alive !
Don’t understand the point you are trying to make, I am not aware that my post mentioned midfield or any midfield players.
My post didn’t blame the management for Stanley’s departure, I just expressed my regret he was leaving, I felt the same regret when, for example, Jimmy Scoular, Jack Froggatt, Jungle Boy Crawford amongst many, many others left Pompey.
I hope that Williams is a significant improvement on our recent midfields but, as I have never knowingly seen him play, I can’t make an objective judgement.
I have been ‘sold’ enough incoming players by the many, many managements that I have endured in my seventy five seasons to now have a questioning nature when so many of them turned out to be no better than what they were replacing.
Come November or December, I will perhaps have a better idea as to how the balance and ability of the playing side has improved, clearly some of the posters on this Board are more prescient than I and seem to have a clear opinion of players they have hardly (if ever) seen play.
Of course, the absolute judgement on the Pompey side will be after the last ball has been kicked in the League 1 campaign, no room to hide then.
