Gary Bowyer Issues Shade Update
Speaking to BBC Radio Derby, manager Gary Bowyer said: "No. No I wouldn’t have thought so (expect Shade to remain at the club). If you look at the strikers in League One (that have left this summer), (Lorent) Tolaj gone, (Dom) Ballard gone and there have been others. So there’s not many top, top strikers left (in League One) and he’s a top, top striker in my opinion, who has got the ability to go higher. I look forward to receiving several bids in the next three weeks or so. We’re going to have to replace him and still bring in another one, maybe two in as well in that position. There’s a lot of work to do."
Portsmouth Keen But Face Competition From Division Rivals
It has been a busy window for Portsmouth so far, with no fewer than nine players arriving through the door. This does include strikers Marko Milovanovic and Eion Kenny, although the latter is likely to have been brought in with the future in mind. An ankle injury to Thomas Waddingham may have heightened the need for more reinforcements, and it is believed that Shade is one player they are keen on. However, Charlton Athletic are also amongst his admirers, whilst Lincoln City are said to have had multiple bids rejected in the past few weeks. The Imps are said to have seen offers of £2 million knocked back, but their attentions may have shifted following the loan moves of Mason Melia and Tanto Olaofe. They are also expected to clinch the big-money signing of Danish striker Mikkel Ladefoged before the end of the month.
