Pompey Talk returns with part one of this summer's transfer window closed and the Blues failing adding to their playing ranks.
On this week's episode, Mark McMahon and Jordan Cross discuss why Pompey are yet to show their transfer hand, with a focus on what free transfers the Championship is offering up this year. The free agent market is a well trodden road the Blues go down when it comes to their first summer signing.
The News duo also speak about how tough Pompey might find it when it comes to finding affordable players who can help take them to the next level in the Championship. That, understandably, leads to a chat about the Fratton Park club's budget and where Pompey might find the players who fit into their structure.
It's heavy stuff, but Cross is confident Pompey are in a good place to execute their transfer plans.

00:11And I'll go over it again, because it's worth doing, as you say.
00:14We will do it. We will put the story up as a transfer gossip story.
00:18We're not saying it's us. It's a transfer gossip story, and it's being reported as such.
00:24We then have to use our own sources to debunk or stand up said story, and then we report it as such.
00:32And we back our sources. We've got good ins. We've done this for a long time now, myself and Neil, and you've been around this as well a long time.
00:40Pepe, a young buck, and coming up in a way we all have as well.
00:46So we will then go from there and report it as such.
00:49But we have to then, you know, it's a nightmare for us as journalists to have to do it as well, because any old Tom, Dick and Harry can put out stuff now.
00:57And we know a lot of it's agent-driven.
