REDKKNAPP TRIGGERS PLAYER EXODUS AT POMPEY.
Harry Redknapp’s defection to North Londoners Tottenham Hotspur, has seen a number of big names at Portsmouth apply for a transfer away from last seasons FA Cup winners. Sol Campbell is the biggest name to make the list, he has seen interest from a number of clubs including struggling Spanish giants Valencia and the promoted Hull City. Other squad members that should find new clubs before the start of the Premier League season include Hermann Hreidarsson, David Nugent, Jamie Ashdown, Glen Little, Martin Cranie and Noe Paramot.

Redknapp has urged these players to reconsider their prospective moves, stating he hoped that his decision to leave Pompey would not affect the club in such a dramatic way. Caretaker manager, Tony Adams and Portsmouth Chairman Peter Storrie have both been quoted as saying the number of players that have applied for a transfer will help them make crucial decisions on the starting eleven a lot easier, with a number of players able to fill in the positions that will be left by the departing players. Both men agreeing they will not stand in the way of any one wanting to leave the club.

Adams has also not ruled out making a move of his own on the transfer market, with Chairman Storrie throwing his full support behind the caretaker manager. With veteran defenders Sol Campbell and Noe Paramot on the list of players leaving the club, Adams will definitely look to strengthen his defence. While remaining tight lipped about possible transfer targets, rumours surrounding a number of big players linked to the club have surfaced including a possible move for Roma’s Phillepe Mexes, with Portsmouth owner Alexandre Gadamak confirming he will inject another £30 million into the club’s transfer budget.

On the topic of appointing their new manager, Portsmouth Chairman Peter Storrie has released a statement saying a decision will be made after Portsmouth’s pre-season tour of Holland, with the man to succeed Harry Redknapp to be unveiled 2 weeks before Portsmouth meet last season’s Premier and Champions League title holders, Manchester United in the Community Shield final.
