TWTD understands that Portsmouth duo Joel Ward and Stephen Henderson have turned down the chance to join the Blues, the clubs having agreed a joint fee earlier this evening.

The pair, part of a triple bid which has been ongoing for several days along with Jason Pearce, are believed to have turned down Town’s contract offer.

Henderson announced his intention to stay at Portsmouth earlier in the evening via Twitter.

Whether the Blues will continue to negotiate until the 11pm deadline remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, former Blues loanee Keith Andrews is reported to be in talks with West Brom.

batch41 added 19:16 - Jan 31 League 1 here we come, thanks for that clegg and jewell. I preferred it when we had no cash, at least the players wanted to play for the club and were proud to wear the shirt.

ruffcider added 19:19 - Jan 31 perhaps they are loyal to their boyhood clubs and perhaps they dont want to play for you and perhaps they would rather become unemployed and choose who they want to play for if everything did go wrong. With Pearce and Ward it really is loyalty. They love it down here. Lets hope it stays this way. you can buy Kitson or Lawrence......Mokoena?

cartman1972 added 19:19 - Jan 31 I think websites like this actually make it worse , prefer it in the good old days when you found out about a signing when they actually signed and none of this rumour rubbish. Lets be fair our club is at its lowest nadir at the moment

rogie_dog added 19:21 - Jan 31 Pompey will go into Administration and the 3 of them will be playing league 1 football next year. We won't. We will get a loan centre half ( or two ) in who will stabilise the defence and we will start picking points up. This team I's not far off being decent.

gibbo added 19:23 - Jan 31 If the rumours are true, the money we are offering in wages is less then they are on at Portsmouth lot to think about when they are getting nothing. Charlie Austin all over again being paid 5500 at Swindon and we other 3900

batch41 added 19:25 - Jan 31 Not sure what you mean by loyalty ruffcider, we don't get to experience it here because no one would want to sign the garbage that turns out for us on matchdays

leroy2488 added 19:25 - Jan 31 If all this nonsense were true......... You could hardly expect the Portsmouth players to accept our first offer whatever it was, we are never going to get a first offer accepted by anybody who has seen our business dealings lately, lol.

Kuqicoo added 19:27 - Jan 31 So let's move on to plan b...I seriously hope there is one cos any faith I had in the guys at the top to sort things out may disappear completely! If all our eggs were in one basket and we've lost them all when we had plenty of time to spot/bring in defenders ill struggle to understand it. I really really hope we get a result tonight...but I'm really struggling to be positive.

Lightningboy added 19:27 - Jan 31 our only hope is that pompey get docked points and get relegated rather than us..this is what my thoughts have come to..it's pathetic!

stevet added 19:28 - Jan 31 Well what a crap club you are!! You know why they are staying, because they are loyal and committed to the cause, you probably don't understand that down there. When we pinched Norris, he couldn't wait to leave!!! Thats the difference between the clubs. You can rubbish us all you want, but we are going to go down fighting, and whatever league we are in we will always be better than you!!
