Pompey's Storrie puts Campbell in his place over spending complaint

Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie has hit back at captain Sol Campbell for criticising the club's apparent lack of impact in the transfer market.

With Pompey poised to sign Arsenal's unsettled £2m France midfielder Lassana Diarra, Storrie insisted: 'Don't question our ambition.

Campbell had criticised Portsmouth's lack of activity in the transfer market

'We don't talk about how the players play. So they shouldn't talk about the money the club has spent.

'How can someone like Sol go around and keep saying these things? We are one of the top spenders in the Premier League.

'We are puzzled as to why he keeps making these statements and comments. We have never, ever spent as much as we have done this season. Just look at the quality of the squad at the moment.'
