It's so far so good for Pompey in the January transfer window.
Rob Atkinson and Isaac Hayden have both joined the cause for the remainder of the campaign. The pair have arrived on loan from Bristol City and Newcastle United respectively in the hope that their experience in the Championship will help the Blues get over the line in their battle for survival.
And with three weeks of the window remaining, more players are expected to follow their lead and arrive at Fratton Park in a bid to bolster chances of remaining in the division.
There will be some outgoings, too, with crucial space needed for Pompey to adhere to 25-man squad-list rules. Like last week’s departure of Elias Sorenson, some fans will be delighted to see these players leave PO4, while others will be disappointed that their Fratton Park stays haven’t worked out.
Where you sit on these players’ contributions during their Blues respective spells is your own personal choice. But on the subject of comings and goings - who are deemed the worst signings the Blues have ever made?
Well, given it’s the future, is always in the news, and is set to replace human intelligence, we turned to ChatGPT for its verdict on ‘Pompey's 10 worst signings’.
What could go wrong, was our initial thought, as we thought it would provide a bit of fun. But how wrong were we when we saw the names that the AI chatbox identified.
Indeed, it’s safe to say that the human or computer minds behind the revolutionary technology have their work cut out if they are lead us into an exciting future.
The AI tool provided rationale behind their decision. But, erm, here’s who it believes are the worst bits of transfer business ever conducted by the club.

9. Niko Kranjcar
AI explains: "Kranjčar had flashes of brilliance, but his performances often failed to deliver on a consistent basis. Despite his talent, he struggled with injury problems, and his time at Portsmouth didn’t live up to expectations." | Getty Images Photo: Jamie McDonald/Getty Images

10. Niko Kranjcar (continued)
Human verdict: The Croatian midfielder made 100 appearances for the club - including the 2008 FA Cup final - and scored 12 goals. He was a firm favourite at Fratton Park. To call him one of Pompey's worst-ever signings is simply ludicrous! ChatGPT, hang your AI head in shame - AGAIN! | AFP via Getty Images

11. Jermain Defoe
AI explains: "Defoe’s second stint at Portsmouth was disappointing. Despite a good goal-scoring record initially, his performances waned, and he was eventually sold to Tottenham again in 2009 for a lower fee than the club had originally paid." | AFP via Getty Images Photo: ANDREW YATES/AFP via Getty Images)

12. Jermain Defoe (continued)
Human verdict: Defoe scored 17 goals in 36 games for Pompey after arriving in January 2008. It proved a magnificent bit of business by Harry Redknapp - until he joined 'Arry at Spurs less than a year later. Pompey fans have never forgiven him for that - and clearly neither has AI! | Bryn Lennon/Getty Images Photo: Bryn Lennon/Getty Images
