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.

13. Frederic Piquionne
AI explains: "Piquionne was a physically imposing forward but failed to make a real impact on the pitch. His performances were inconsistent, and he never became the goalscoring threat that Portsmouth needed during his time at the club." | Getty Images Photo: Clive Rose/Getty Images

14. Frederic Piquionne (continued)
Human verdict: Piquionne was signed on a season-long loan, so there was no real risk to the transfer. He had a return of 11 goals and six assists in 45 games, which isn't too bad. Scored in an FA Cup semi-final, so he'll always be remembered for that, too. | Getty Images Photo: Clive Rose/Getty Images

15. Kevin Prince Boateng
AI explains: "Boateng was hyped up after his transfer, but his time at Portsmouth was plagued by inconsistency and a lack of focus. He did have flashes of quality but was often criticized for his lack of discipline and commitment to the team." | AFP via Getty Images Photo: IAN KINGTON/AFP via Getty Images)

16. Kevin Prince Boateng (continued)
Human verdict: Supporters loved Boateng's role in their 2009-2010 FA Cup run, especially his goal against Spurs in the semi-final. Five goals in 27 game is a decent enough return. If he was so bad then he wouldn't have got a move to AC Milan as his next club. In the same season, he played in a World Cup for Ghana. | Getty Images Photo: Shaun Botterill/Getty Images)
