Pompey ban another hiccup for Hart

Portsmouth manager Paul Hart is frustrated by the transfer ban which stopped him signing free agent Eugen Bopp.Pompey have been barred from recruiting players by the Premier League until they settle outstanding debts to Arsenal and Chelsea for the signings of Lassana Diarra and Glen Johnson respectively.Hart was made aware of the embargo only when he attempted to bring in former Nottingham Forest midfielder Bopp before his club's Carling Cup win over Stoke this week.He is still keen to draft in Bopp once the ban has been lifted but knows Pompey's latest spot of bother must be sorted out first.He said: "It is disappointing. These problems are here to be overcome and I think we will overcome them. I found out on Tuesday morning - but I dealt with it. I'm led to believe this will be resolved."
