Newcastle hard man Joey Barton is claiming that should Newcastle United get rid of him Pompey will be there to snap him up.
After being released from prison on 28th July Barton has started to make his way back in to the Toon starting line up, however he is not happy that the club has tried to drop his wages and considered releasing him from his contract.
A club insider told The Sun: "Joey has told his team-mates Portsmouth will have him if Newcastle don't want him any more. He is very confident."
With Pompey seemingly having no funds for transfers I doubt a deal would be done this window however if Barton became available on a free would we want him?
