Didn't realise Bridge turned down a move to Pompey because his dad was a southampton supporter. The argus article suggests only that they've been given permission to ask him if he wants to come on loan. They seem to be suggesting it's going to be difficult to persuade him.
Indeed - I also seem to remember Mancini having a go along the lines of that he was quite happy to sit on the bench and take the money rather than go to another club. He's got the talent but it's his appetite that I'd be worried about. Otherwise don't know why no Prem club wants him.
