Portsmouth's best & worst January transfer window signings, according to AI - including former Sunderland, Wolves and Birmingham players

The clock is quickly ticking down to the official opening of the January transfer window - and it’s fair to say the Fratton faithful are eagerly waiting to see what the Blues’ recruitment team have up their sleeves this year.

Last term’s winter window proved a huge success, with the eight new signings introduced to John Mousinho’s first-team ranks helping Pompey move clear of the threat of relegation with two games of the season to spare.

A similar success story would be very much welcome next month as the Blues sit third from bottom in the Championship table going into their hugely-important fixture against Charlton at Fratton Park tonight.

But history shows not all signings work out as anticipated.

With that in mind, we asked AI to name what it considers to be Pompey’s best January arrivals - and who it believes ranks as the club’s worst.

Here’s what it came up with. See if you agree or disagree. Or whether you can think of better examples.
