Another example of how unambitious this club is.
S'funny.....I heard Pompey bid £500k for Hirst but Leicester said no they wanted to see him in pre-season first.
Of course, you'll understand I can't reveal my source.
There's every chance Leicester will let him go in late July/August, but we will face competition for him so that will be the real test of just how keen he is to return. And will we/should we leave filling that slot until Leicester make their mind up. I'd take the risk if Cowley has got a verbal agreement with the player like he had with Morrell last summer (although that nearly went wrong at the last minute).
Sorry you're wrong. Pompey have not offered Leicester anything. Pompey were quoted the price to buy and we are not willing to pay that amount.
Move on from Hirst, he's not coming here.
