Supporters offer mixed views over whether to make a move for Pigott
Joe Pigott has returned to Ipswich following the end of his loan at Pompey.
But the Fratton faithful are unsure whether the Blues should make a swoop for the striker in the upcoming transfer window.
It comes after news emerged the 29-year-old would be made available to sign from Portman Road this summer.
Pigott spent the season on loan at Pompey, scoring seven goals in 44 outings in all competitions.
Yet he failed to achieve regular football, with Colby Bishop the preferred option to lead the line.
And Blues supporters have been split on social media over a potential move for Pigott this summer.
Here’s the best of the reaction from Twitter...
@Dan_Grice97:
I really don’t think he’s a bad option to have a as a back up. Last few games of the season he was linking up with Bishop well once he came on. If we can get a deal that benefits us, I’d take him back.
@Wilson_Alex11:
Been a bog standard player for us, some games good some games shocking, a waste of a wage when we can go younger.
@KieranWoodward8:
I don’t know why the fans don’t want him back? The only reason he’s not getting game time is cause he’s under utilised by Bishop, but overall performances he’s been threatening,definitelyplayas a good number 10 or behind the striker partnership with Bishop we see it in games.
Need to be doing better than Piggs if we want promotion unfortunately. If he’s not good enough for Ipswich, he shouldn’t be good enough for us. Should be the mentality.
@ArtistNdl: @G_inpompey:
Good player but not what we need. We need to sign a better and more ambitious striker.
Would look for better but wouldn’t be upset if we did sign him.
@Hilly69er: @pompeymatt:
To be honest not sure what I thought about Piggs. Scored a few goals and linked up but seemed to always lack pace to me. Don’t know. Maybe just didn’t play enough.
@Team_J_Me1:
I think with a run of games he will get a decent goal return. Obviously doesn’t start ahead of Bishop but good alternative if Bishop is sold or injured etc. Would like another more pacy striker regardless though.
