Shorey switch falls through
Nicky Shorey's proposed move to Portsmouth from Aston Villa has broken down and will not go ahead.
The full-back did travel to Fratton Park on Tuesday to discuss personal terms and undertake a medical.
He was expected to agree a season-long loan switch to the south coast after seeing his place at Villa Park come under threat.
The England international has been a regular in Martin O'Neill's starting XI this term, but the recent arrival of Stephen Warnock is expected to push him down the pecking order.
A move to Pompey would have offered him the opportunity to remain a regular Premier League performer.
However, he is said to have been unable to reach an agreement with Portsmouth and will now head back to Villa.
Sky Sports News understands that the collapse of the deal has nothing to do with personal terms and is the result of other factors.
