Pompey target United stopper

Dec 5 2006

By Luke Edwards, The Journal

 

Portsmouth want Newcastle United centre-back Titus Bramble and will attempt to sign him in a cut-price deal when the transfer window re-opens in January.

 

Bramble, who will miss tomorrow night's clash with Reading after he picked up a calf injury in the 0-0 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, insisted in The Journal last week that he wants to remain in the North-East.

 

But the powerful defender is out of contract in the summer and has still not been offered a new one by chairman Freddie Shepherd, prompting Portsmouth's attempt to prise him away from the Magpies.

 

Bramble can start to negotiate a free transfer under the Bosman rule in the New Year if he has not been offered a new contract at Newcastle, although Portsmouth are believed to want to take him to the south coast immediately.

 

Pompey will not make a bid for the 25-year-old until after Christmas, but manager Harry Redknapp has indicated he might be able to get the former England Under-21 international for less than £1m as Newcastle know they are in danger of losing him for nothing in seven months. That will not please Glenn Roeder, who cannot afford to lose any of his defenders during the transfer window and Newcastle's manager will urge Shepherd not to sell.

 

Roeder has suggested in the past that he wants Bramble to sign a new contract, although he realises that if an extended deal is not offered, Bramble will be advised to look for a potentially lucrative Bosman move by his representatives.

 

Ironically, Redknapp wants to pair Bramble with former England international Sol Campbell, a partnership which could have been formed at United if Roeder had followed up his interest in the 31-year-old in the summer.

 

Campbell was keen on a move to Newcastle but, although Roeder was interested, he was concerned about the player's injury record and decided Chelsea's Robert Huth was a more attractive option. That, though, proved to be a costly decision when Huth decided to move to Middlesbrough and Roeder failed to add a centre-half to his squad.

 

Like most observers, Redknapp believes Bramble has the natural ability to become a top Premiership defender and he hopes that, by pairing him with Campbell, the former Ipswich prospect - signed by Sir Bobby Robson for £5m - will move up a level.

 

Like Bramble, Campbell was also prone to the odd concentration lapse when he was a youngster at Tottenham Hotspur, but he overcame that weakness with experience and went on to become a pivotal player for England in three major tournaments.

 

It remains to be seen whether Bramble will be interested in a move to Fratton Park after he claimed last week that he is "desperate" to stay at Newcastle, but the prospect of playing alongside Campbell will surely be an attractive one.

 

The in-form stopper will be missing from the United defence against Reading tomorrow and is also a doubt for the trip to Blackburn Rovers at the weekend.

 

His close friend Kieron Dyer will also be unavailable for selection as he was told to rest for ten days by the specialist who stitched up the nasty cut in his leg after the Portsmouth match.

 

Roeder said: "After their efforts lately, I gave the first-team squad the weekend off and Titus went back home to Ipswich. But overnight on Friday his calf blew up to twice its normal size and he did the sensible thing by coming straight back to Newcastle so that (physio) Derek Wright could have a look at it. And by doing so we are hoping that it will prevent Titus from being sidelined for too long."

 

Bramble's injury has come at a bad time for Roeder, although the return of full-backs Stephen Carr and Celestine Babayaro mean he will be able to move Peter Ramage into the centre alongside Steven Taylor.

 

Let the useless cunt go for nowt - nice bit of saber rattling by Titus' agent though.

 

If we offer Coco the Clowns stupider brother a new contract we are as good as fucked and i'll be as good as gone.

Get rid of him for fucks sake.

 

Never been good enough. Never will be.

 

Bored of people being convinced that he'll be good one day. He's good for 5/6 games a season. Get him out of the club for fucks sake... it'll do us good. He should have gone years ago but somehow, he's just dragged on.

 

I'd sell him even if it meant out squad not getting any bigger. Distin in for Bramble would be a significant improvement on our defense. :thup:

I have given up on him every becoming consistantly good but he is decent back up and its not as if the squad is bursting with players!

 

If he does go to Pompey I bet we will see a good player develop alongside Campbell!

Sell him aslong as we have atleast 2 CB's to cover his sale, one to replace him and another as cover for the replacement. If we know we are only going to end up signing 1 centre half we should just keep hold of him till the end of the season and let him go on a free.

 

I couldnt see Pompey paying anything more than £500k for him anyway, especially because his contract is nearly up.

Unlikely unless they go out and buy him some ability as well.
