Matt Ritchie is English, make no doubt about it.
I remember he was in a Newcastle side that was claimed to be 11 non-English players. It's nonsense.

Pfft, needs to be more specific then "Scottish strikers who have played in Scotland don't do well in Leagues 1 and 2". OK, pedants, off you go on that one Er... Chris Iwelumo? That is a bit harder, I'll give you.

And score 20 goals a season. Unless someone can name 4 that can score 5 each of course

I spoke to a mate yesterday who is an Aldershot fan (goes home and away). He reckons that Adam May is a bit special. Only played about 5 games for them last season, scored 2 goals on his debut and was their best player for the 5 games until he got recalled. He reckons that they would not have struggled as much if they would have had him for longer.
I know it is a level down and a different standard but it was good to hear. He even jokingly voted for him in their POTY vote as he said he did more in those 5 games than the rest of the squad for the whole season..
They got relegated but ironically got re-instated last Saturday after Gateshead? got demoted because of breaking numerous rules in the NL.

So we have special from an Aldershot fan and average from Pompey fans that I've seen. Hopefully that will level out at good in League 2!

In a good way? Indeed, some of our fans are rather 'special' and that sure as hell is not a good thing

That doesnt say much... Aldershot were abysmal last season. But I've heard good things generally.

Just providing feedback on a new signing - at least it's better than 5 pages talking about one that has gone..

I always like this time of the season, the anticipation of new signings and reading what fans of other teams think about players.
Striker and left back a priority now please Mr Wellens.

Indeed.
Though in truth the rebuild is huge.
We need at least one destructive hard working midfielder to complement the ball players of Rose, Doughty and apparently May.
The only wide player is McGlashan who he doesn't want.
Plus the left back and forward situation as you say.

There's is the possibility of a Toumani renaissance... bit of a longshot, but you never know.
