O'Neil bid turned down!


A bid for former Pompey player Gary O'Neil has been turned down by Middlesborough.

Boro boss Gareth Southgate turned down the £4.5m bid from Pompey for the midfielder.
O'Neil came through the ranks at Pompey and featured in 192 appearances for the Blues.

Even though it is rumoured that Gary is in favour of a move back to Fratton Park, Adams and Storrie are yet to strike a deal with the Riverside club.

O'Neil left Pompey in August 2007 to play for Boro, but in a short time at Middlesborough, O'Neil is home sick and wants a return to the Blues.

In other transfer news, rumours continue of a move for Edu, as well as O'Neil, and the first rumour of a return to Fratton Park for Benjani to replace Defoe.
