Second Bid for Portsmouth Duo Turned Down
Monday, 23rd Jan 2012 16:37

Portsmouth have rejected Town’s second offer for Joel Ward (pictured) and Jason Pearce, according to reports on the south coast. The Blues made an increased bid, which we understand to have been £1.6 million, earlier today having had their initial offer - reportedly £1 million - rebuffed last week.

Town will now have to decide whether to make a third bid to the cash-strapped club or look at other targets.

However, given Pompey's ongoing financial concerns and manager Michael Appleton's admission that player sales are on the cards, it seems likely that the Blues will continue to pursue the matter.

It's understood that Town have not yet made a new bid for 17-year-old Crewe midfielder Nick Powell.

BrettenhamBlue added 12:02 - Jan 24 Michael Ball in Hairspray could do a decent job for us too...wonder how much his wages would be? We could always go for Wes Morgan. Not sure he would want to come to ITFC though...

tomisamos added 14:57 - Jan 24 Not Jewell's fault this time. If Evan's wants progress for this club he need's to get his chequebook out. Fast. What happened to the Wickham money we're investing back on our squad?

Pathetic offers for these two,This club has no idea how to build a team all the crap that they keep coming out with. Jewel is pathetic in this department,has no idea also clegg who has no football knowledge who thinks trying to get players for free or very low offers is a feather in his cap, Bloody plonkers both of them I pray that ME will wake up and get rid of them before its to late.
