He's been a decent solid defender for us. I'm surprised he's dropped back into League Two. Definitely someone I would have happily kept if at all possible. Title: Re: Adver News: Devera agrees Pompey move Post by: Bukkake Regiment on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 17:15:16 Good move for him.

Title: Re: Adver News: Devera agrees Pompey move Post by: DV on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 17:20:35 I'm probably in a minority but I'm glad we kept Flint instead of Devera. Ideally, we'd keep both. Both are decent solid, if not spectacular defenders for a top 6 League One club. Also worth remembering we haven't 'kept' Flint yet and the only reason he was offered a new contract is because he's under 23. If Devera was 23 and Flint was 26 I have no doubt we would have offered a contract to Devera instead of Flint.

Title: Re: Adver News: Devera agrees Pompey move Post by: Dr Pierre Chang on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 17:28:49 I'm surprised that he didn't have half the Championship after him after today's story about the interest in McCormack.
Title: Re: Adver News: Devera agrees Pompey move Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 17:29:19 Pompey mean business then.
Good player and ideally would have liked to have kept him. More solid and dependable than Flint but without the potential upside that Flint has Title: Re: Adver News: Devera agrees Pompey move Post by: Swindon Please Win on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 17:31:12 Our defence was at its best when he and Ward played together, He's a centre back definitely not a full back. Wish we had kept him.
Title: Re: Adver News: Devera agrees Pompey move Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 18:12:08 Good Luck to Joe! Shame he got injured when he did as I thought he and Ward had a great understanding! What a cross against Yeovil at home for that goal...!
Title: Re: Adver News: Devera agrees Pompey move Post by: LucienSanchez on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 18:20:57 He's better than that... unless they are going for an assault on the title and he fancies a bit of glory. I'd have kept him here though, so I might rate him more than others!

I'd have kept him here though, so I might rate him more than others! Remember they will be getting millions soon....last parachute payment from the Prem! Good luck to him....always gave his all and got better and better. Good signing for Pompey.

Title: Re: Adver News: Devera agrees Pompey move Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 19:16:46 For someone who can play left back, right back and centre back I think we've made a mistake letting him go.

I'd say his full back stints were better than McCormack's, yeah Title: Re: Adver News: Devera agrees Pompey move Post by: leftside on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 20:15:03 "Joe's a magnificent signing for the club.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22532652 It'll take some signings to convince me that we're not going to self-destruct.

I very much doubt we'll be doing much in the way of signings, more a case of see who we're left with when the season starts and then pad out with some loans if there's been a major clear out.

I don't disagree. I include loans in 'signings'. I can see Macca, Wes and Flint going, Rooney not coming, and time running out to assemble a competitive team let alone squad before the new season starts. And yes, I am a pessimist when it comes to STFC.
