We'll sell anyone - but only if we want to, say Pompey

As Adam Webster prepares to make the move to Ipswich, Pompey boss Paul Cook says the Blues will only sell players in deals that make sense for the club.

Webster is set to join Town with £500,000-pl;us and Matt Clarke, one of Pompey's most consistent performers last season when he was on loan, coming in the other direction.

Cook tells The News today he is not under pressure to sell but says: Cook said: ‘You’d sell any player if there was a benefit to us going forward. That’s just logic. I’m saying we would sell a player if they left to make the team better.

‘Footy is footy. I am not against change, we have to improve, I want us to have the pride back in the club. My job is to ensure that the team evolves now and we get better. Whether that means we lose someone then we sell someone.

‘I wouldn’t be against anyone leaving. If we sell someone, we sell someone. I have been phoning managers lately about one or two of their players under contract that we would like to take if we can agree a fee.

‘Our club is no different. If I thought it was a deal I wanted to do then I would say “Yes”. For anyone to leave there would have to be a benefit. There has to be. That’s how I look at it.’

Meanwhile, Marc McNulty has indicated he is open to a permanent Pompey return if the Blues and Sheffield United can agree a deal.
