It got postponed, didn't it, by the rain?

And I did discover, and I should tell you, that Gustavo isn't going to be thrown by rain over here.

In Santos, they get about twice the average annual rainfall that falls on Hampshire.

Having said that, you may find it a little bit chilly,

The average temperature, it's the winter in Santos, but the average temperature even in winter is 19 degrees centigrade.

So Gus may need to wear his gloves when we next see him.

Earlier in the window, Pompey enjoyed...

some good buys, the experience of Mili Alli on loan and Keshie Anderson and Eboo Adams, both came permanently to our club.

And these are experienced signings and they so far have looked good.

Three goals for Alli and Adams and a lot of appreciation of them from the stands.

We had been promised up to six arrivals and he ended up with seven because another Luton player joined Mili Alli on loan in Jacob Brown, a forward who, along with Alli, has championship and indeed premiership experience with Luton.

So, seven new players in, two out.

including Lange, whose sale I did talk about on Pompey Sound a little while ago, and who, like pretty much all Pompey fans, I will miss very much.

Although, when I think about it, I've already missed him rather a lot because he's been absent through injury.

It is fascinating to

to anticipate seven new players to watch.

And I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season.

But my enthusiasm for the window has been a bit dulled, I have to say, Sounders, by noisy fans and their complaints.

And it's all about money, their complaints.

It's all about us not spending enough money for them.
