I'm out of contract and I'm going to listen to different offers. I want to make the right choice."In the next two to three years I want to be in the right situation. The chairman, the manager and people like that, I like them to be really close together to move the club on."At the moment with Portsmouth it just seems there are a lot of things in the background. It may resolve itself, I don't know, but for me, as a player, I want to be in the right environment."
