Fulham have sign a deal of ,£500,M it will promote us….
The Portsmouth manager explains why Sunderland’s roster was left empty despite a £500,000 transfer from Fulham due to defensive injury concerns.
John Mousinho has given an explanation for his decision to hold off on throwing new signing Ibane Bowat into the deep end of Pompey’s game against Sunderland. The Blues’ fifteenth and last transfer window addition, a £500,000 newcomer from Fulham, was left off the field for the Fratton Park team’s Championship head-to-head loss versus the Black Cats, which finished in a 3-1 loss. The head coach of Pompey remained loyal to the central defense duo of Ryley Towler and Jordan Williams, who had performed admirably for him at Middlesbrough just seven days prior. That came after Conor Shaughnessy’s absence from last weekend’s trip to Riverside Stadium due to illness was considered an infirmity.
In order to allay worries about the Blues’ possibilities at that position—Regan Poole and Tom McIntyre were still sidelined by injuries—Bowat was signed on transfer deadline day.
