Shorey happy with Pompey snub

Shorey had been lined up for a season-long switch to Fratton Park, but opted against joining the Premier League's bottom club.The defender was offered the chance to join Pompey after Villa boss Martin O'Neill added Stephen Warnock to his squad, shunting Shorey on to the bench.However, Shorey does not regret rejecting Portsmouth and admits a move to Fratton Park did not feel "right"."The interest from Portsmouth came really late in the window," Shorey told The News ahead of Villa's game with Pompey on Saturday. "I didn't have a lot of time to think about it and I decided it wasn't the right thing for me to do."I'd come off the back of a few good wins and I was in the team playing well, I thought. I made that decision and I'm happy with it."Portsmouth can say what they want. At the end of the day I didn't feel it was the right move for me and that's the bottom line."I have no hard feelings, they are nice people down there and I wish them all the best, but I'm a Villa player."
