Marcos Painter

[Mileoakman]

Set to sign for Portsmouth this morning. Could do ok at that level I would think.

 

[Springal]

Very good signing for Pompy if true!

Only a short-term deal. Surprised he hasn't signed for a L1/L2 Midlands club

Doesn't want to take the risk of playing in The Conference next season ?

 

[ali jenkins]

He is better than them. I thought he was going to sign for Bournemouth? What happened with that?

He was SHIT in League One for Bournemouth. Never actually played a full match for them I don't believe.

 

[Munkfish]

Bournemouth thought he was tripe.

I think he is better than Pompey, but if he is settled down South now, I'm sure he will do a decent role for them at the back.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Too good for Pompey? ... yes. Good enough for Bournemouth? ,,, no.

Probably League One is his level now.

Marcos was a good solid performer over several seasons for us though, and l wish him all the best.

 

[halbpro]

Think he'll be very, very good at Portsmouth. Certainly better than a League Two player.

 

[BensGrandad]

When he stepped in for Bridge he never lets us down so perhaps we should have given him a 3 month deal and then played him for 60 mins each game whilst we bringing along Maksimenko.

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Sure he'll do ok, never his biggest fan but he'll do alright at that level I would've thought - also just seen that Dicker is on trial with Barnsley this week.

 

[Simon Morgan]

Surprised he didn't end up at Walsall. They seem to be upwardly mobile and in the Midlands?

I hope Gary Dicker gets a good deal. Very decent midfield player.
Marcos Painter never let us down, really nice bloke too.
Glad he's found a club.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Too good for them. Said that on Twitter last night and had a deluded Nigel and a Pompey fan try to say that Portsmouth are currently a bigger club than us.

May be in League 2 - but they are still thick as s**t.

No, no, no, no, no.

He never made calamitous errors, I grant you, but his lack of pace is catastrophic at Championship level.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Did a job at this level, too.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

No, no, no, no, no.

Correct, and his performance at West ham, was actually catastrophic, but was masked by the incompetence of some of his fellow defenders.

I really do wish him the best of luck and hope he plays well, of course I hope his other 10 colleagues have a nightmare.......

Surely Swindon or Orient should have been interested.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He was great for us at League 1 level. I'm surprised that he's gone to Pompey to be honest.

 

[BensGrandad]

No, no, no, no, no.

As things stand with us not having signed a left back who would you play as an alternative who may be quicker but not as good or at least no better at defending.
