I don't know how Portsmouth can still afford to pay good wages for players that have been on large salaries at other clubs. Even with all their signings, I think they'll be stuck in League Two for a few seasons.
It would appear that we have signed Stephen Ward a left back from Wolves on a season loan so good luck to Marcus and thanks for what you did for us. Apparently he was recommended to Walsall by one of their scouts but he must like this part of the world.
He would probably be one of the best players in League 2. Still very good League 1 player and if it was up to me, I'd still have him on our books as a squad Championship player.

And from me I agree, we could do a lot worse for squad cover. We must remember, however that promotion is the aim. So perhaps letting him go was best for him at least he can get fixed up with another club.
I really liked Painter - his signing was one of the first indications that a new era was on the way. Top player for us. I also hope it goes well for him.
