John Mousinho has said he’s prepared to look at a triallist or two as his players return to pre-season this training.
Down the years there has been many famous – and a few infamous - players who’ve tried to earn Blues deals.
Some huge names will go down as opportunities missed after leaving PO4 without a contract, while others perhaps less so.
Thanks to your suggestions we’ve rounded up some of the great Pompey triallists from down the years.

18. Andre Wisdom
Came on trial last summer when Pompey were short of bodies. Looked classy on the ball still but carrying some excess. No deal from Danny Cowley. Photo: Jason Brown
19. Heung-Min Son
A big one who got away after coming on trial in 2009. Stayed in club digs and wasn't a particularly enjoyable experience for the South Korean star. Also had a stay with Blackburn, but neither club did a deal. D'oh! Photo: Darren Staples
20. Vincent Pericard
Came on trial from Juventus in 2002 and went on to earn a contract and play in the Division One title-winning side. Harry and Jim weren't at all sure about the Frenchman at first, though. Photo: Jon Brady
