Storrie wants January spree

Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie has targeted January spending following the takeover by Ali Al-Faraj. Billionaire Al-Faraj takes control of the Fratton Park outfit after his company Falcondrone Limited bought a 90 per cent stake in the club following a deal with former owner Sulaiman Al-Fahim. Storrie is hopeful the latest change in ownership will create a pool of transfer funds which Pompey manager Paul Hart can use to strengthen his squad in January. "Ali Al-Faraj wants to take the club forward," Storrie said in The News. Fight fires "He wants to build a stadium and training ground and obviously he's got to fight a few fires for the next week or two and put them out. "Obviously he will look at the team and move the team forward I'm sure come the January transfer window." Pompey currently lie bottom of the Premier League after a poor start to the season, and more additions are likely to come when the transfer window opens. The South Coast side signed 14 new players during the summer in a flurry of activity, with more new faces now expected to arrive next year.
