I suspect that it is the player who isn't happy. I think Redknapp would give him some time to bed considering he has started him already this season.
In the current market a young English forward with any chance of making it is worth somewhere in the £4m-£6m range so I guess he went for just about a sensible value. He isn't however the sort of creative forward who the others are at Pompey which puts more pressure on him to score. I think it was a bad move for him as he isn't ideally suited to the way Portsmouth play and while he might be a good option fo rthe manager at this stage of his career unless he was at a really top team he really has to look to be playing regularly.
I would jump ship to Derby if I was him, a guarenteed chance to test yourself against PL teams.
