Pompey wait on big signings

Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie remains confident that the club can bring in a number of quality new players this summer to try and help build on last season's success.
FA Cup winners Pompey have so far only snapped up Reading winger Glen Little on a one-year deal and Chelsea forward Ben Sahar on loan, but Storrie says more deals are in the pipeline.
He told The News: "I can assure supporters we will strengthen the squad with quality signings over the summer, it's just at the moment it is a naturally quiet time.
"There is no need to panic, not much will happen until the middle of July.
"We know what we want. It has been discussed between myself and Harry Redknapp and it's now about waiting for those targets to become available and taking it from there.
"Of course more players will be arriving, but we have no deadlines to sign anyone.
"We know what we want and we are focusing on them. There's definitely no need to panic."
Meanwhile, key Pompey midfield duo Sulley Muntari and Lassana Diarra have pledged their immediate futures to the club.
Ghana international Muntari and French star Diarra have both been linked with moves away from Fratton Park, but the pair say they are more than happy to stay put this summer.
