they've got a dodgy array alright, a right set of waifs and strays. Doesn't explain why they get associated with good players too.

But if so why is their name normally followed by ", Bolton, Middlesbrough, Celtic and Wigan are interested"? :wink:
I'm afraid it's more likely to be agents hoping to get a rise out of the other clubs interested in what are normally mid-range players.

Probably because the pompey story only ever runs after the same story has been run referring to one of those other clubs as the interested party.
