I would have thought that someone of his ability and experience would hae been extremley useful as an 'old head' in midfield.
This sort of opportunity to bring in such a player, with the added bonus that he really wants to come and might be amenable to a reasonable financial package.
It seems to me like a 'staring a gift horse in the mouth' situation.
Out of interest what do you think he'd want to earn as an 'old head' at Pompey? Let's be serious here for a minute, Pompey's limit is going to be at best £6k a week and he is hardly going to want to drop down the divisions for that much is he? He'll end up somewhere like Norwich or West Brom - decent sized clubs that'll be able to give him a last good pay day.
