Portsmouth Striker David Nugent To Be Sold After Brawl - Report
Pompey's alleged trouble maker will make a move to the Potters after angering the Fratton Park management...
5 Aug 2009 13:06:47

Portsmouth striker David Nugent is set to make a cut-price move to Stoke City after being sent home from the club's pre-season tour.

After Pompey suffered a four-nil defeat on tour in Portugal, Nugent and team-mate Marc Wilson were reported to have fought in a hotel corridor.

Both players were immediately sent home from the tour and fined two-weeks wage by the club.

Looks like Nugent is the one being shipped out, this could indicate that he was the instigator in the row.

Good to see that the irishman has a bit of fight in him all the same!

Or could indicate that he's been a very expensive waste of money. He's been there 2 seasons and I'd guess he's not even in double figures for goals yet.

Nugent had a poor first season, but he played quite well last season. He was often playing on the wing on a 4 5 1 system, and was one on pompeys best players after christmas(granted the whole team was quite poor in general). With the sale of Crouch, Nugent and Kanu are the only recognised strikers left at the club, if the club were to sell him, they would have before now.

Or, considering Pompey are selling every damned thing they can at the moment, it could mean that Nugent's wages are significantly higher than Wilson's and they might even get a bit of a fee for him. Whereas a young fringe full back on (presumably) commensurate wages would likely not attract a fee of any great significance?

''Lurgan man in drunken brawl''

How is an incidence of this nature even considered a newsworthy event these days?

Right Watcher Pat, shine a bit of light on this story.

Mickey Linden · August 05, 2009, 02:36:58 PM

The watcher Pat is unable to get on the board in work anymore. I have asked him for an offical statement via email and I should be able to post it very shortly.

The Gaaboard in yet another world exclusive!

Nugent was sniffing around Wilson's woman?

Wouldn't say certs though certainly they'll struggle. Don't think Wigan will go well, they got most of their points last year before Christmas and their form dipped alarmingly once they sold Palacious and Heskey. They've since lost Valencia and Steve Bruce. Big test for Martinez. Hull will likely struggle again while Stoke may be found out a bit as teams get wise to their tactics. Then you've got the 3 promoted sides. Very hard to predict at this stage.
