- Harry may let duo leave
Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has admitted that he would be willing to let fringe first-team players Sean Davis and Pedro Mendes leave Fratton Park this summer if the right offers come in for the duo.
Former Fulham midfielder Davis still has one season left on his existing contract but, after making only five Premier League starts since the turn of the year, could be sold at the end of this term.
Meanwhile, Mendes is being linked with a move abroad after spending the last two-and-a-half years on the south coast.
Redknapp confirmed: "With Sean, we're looking at the end of the year to see what he wants to do with his contract. As for Pedro, I like him, I've no problems with him.
"But it's like everything in football, you bring people in to strengthen your team and your squad. I want to keep improving the team and that's what I've done. It's nothing personal.
"We've got no-one I want to get rid of. There are no players I wish we didn't have here. They're all good players. It's rare, really. They're a great bunch of lads, all good players. It's a pleasure to manage them.
"You don't want to get rid of them but it depends if they get better offers and how good the clubs are who want to take them.
"'It's all about competition for places. You need a squad, that's how football is. I don't want anyone to go but it happens."
