Portsmouth keeper James facing World Cup dilemma over transfer plans

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sat, 02/27/2010 - 05:56

Portsmouth goalkeeper David James fears the club entering administration will affect his World Cup hopes.

James, 39, heads the list of players the club are trying to sell, loan back and then leave in the stands to see out the season.

Administrator Andrew Andronikou put the plan to the Premier League to help save the club from becoming the first top-flight club to go bust.

They will then be loaned back with an agreement that they will not be used, to avoid injury.
