Harry Redknapp has admitted Derby want to sign David Nugent but the Portsmouth boss says he wants the striker to stay.

Pompey signed Nugent for £6m in July from Preston, but after starting the first two games of the season, he was on the bench for the last two.

The 22-year-old is now a target for Derby where he would link up with Billy Davies, his former boss at Preston.

"Derby do want to sign Nugent, but he's only just joined us and I'm happy to keep him here," said Redknapp.

"He's a young player and obviously he wants to play but at the moment Kanu has been absolutely brilliant, John Utaka's a threat and Benjani does well.

"So it has been difficult for David and he has to be patient."

Newspaper reports suggest Redknapp wants to sign £12m-rated Bolton striker Nicolas Anelka - but he may have to sell before he buys.

It is a strange one. Mind you he had a chance when through one on one with the keeper in the United game and slipped on his arse in the penalty box, and then did the same thing again against Bolton the following Saturday!

Harry must have been trembling even more after that

[thesilverfoxlfc]

He would be a fool to go to Derby and if so he was better off staying at PNE

[CJ]

i think pne would have him back at the mo

He's never a 6m player.

Kanu always had class, even if he's struggled to show it at times.

That Utaka could be as quick as Torres, i need to see more of him, but he looks ****ing rapid.

Benjani hasn't impressed me, but he's clearly a better option than Nugent.

...

Selling Nugent for 6m and buying Anelka for 12m would be excellent business in anyone's book.

The strikers that Pompey have at the moment are better athletically and mentally. They can stretch defences and scores goals. At this moment, Nugent looks to have lost confidence and Redknapp feels he has better strikers in Kanu and Utaka who can finish the chances.

David Nugent wouldn't be the first player to come and play in the Premier League and need some sort of settling in period.

Its very strange that he is being linked with other clubs so early so perhaps Harry has seen something he doesn't fancy. He certainly isn't one to mess about in the transfer market.

He just needs to find his feet but he might not get that at Portsmouth.

i found it a bit stange when seeing that they were prepared to sell nugent to fund moves for anelka/yakubu. he only just arrived at the club and he must have done something wrong, although 'arry has come out and said he doesnt want to sell him i would be worried if i was nugent as theres no smoke without fire, so to speak.

[Parm]

I thought he'd turn out to be bit of gem for pompey this season,though I must say he ws never worth the 6mill, slash that in half and that'd be a more than realistic figure.
As has been mentioned, maybe Harry and Nugent have fallen out or Harry thinks he can use him to get a better player in? who knows! be interesting the see how this one plays out, esp following harrt's comments that the lad has to show some paitence! maybe it is a case of him being a small fish in a big pond!

[Joe King]

The guy loves the Bitters. There must be something wrong with him. It was quite interesting to hear Harry Redknapp on Goals on Sunday two weeks ago saying there is no better club for development than Liverpool and thats why Jamie left Bournmouth

[Joe Le Toff]

I was going to post this earlier but quite honestly i thought it was a typo when Nugents name was mentioned.
Strange one, doesnt say much about Redknapps judgement of a player if hes signed him, watched him train and then realised hes crap, looks like Harry may have done another Marco Boogers
Surely he would have scouted him first??
