He, too, needed to appeal against the rejection a work-permit renewal.
Storrie, who attended the Mbesuma appeal hearing, said: "As in all transfers there is an element of risk and Collins will need a period of adjustment here but he has exceptional talent. The right decision has been made.
"Yakubu was a risk when he first came here but in reality it did not turn out that way."
Top clubs all over Europe were said to be chasing Mbesuma. Despite this, he was turned down for an automatic work-permit to play in this country two weeks ago after agreeing a three-year deal with Portsmouth who are understood to have agreed a price of just 500,000 pounds for him.
The sticking point was that Zambia, although ranked 62nd in FIFA's latest lists, have not figured regularly in the top 70 over the last two years.
Ironically it is Mbesuma's goals - he netted a hat-trick in a recent World Cup qualifier against Congo, scoring eight goals in all in five international games - that have propelled them up the rankings table.
Portsmouth's French manager Alain Perrin has already signed compatriots Laurent Robert - on loan from Newcastle - and Gregory Vignal plus Irish international Andy O'Brien, Colombian midfielder John Viafara, Norwegian striker Azar Karadas and Dutch goalkeeper Sander Westerveld.

Atletico loan out Uruguayan midfielder Sosa to Osasuna
MADRID, July 28 (Reuters) - Uruguayan midfielder Marcelo Sosa has been loaned out by Atletico Madrid to fellow Primera Liga side Osasuna for next season.
Atletico said that the 27-year-old international would undergo a medical with the Navarrans who had an option to buy him at the end of the season.
Sosa joined Atletico from Spartak Moscow at the start of last season, but was unable to hold down a regular place in the first team.
His departure frees up one of the club's three berths for non-European Union players.
Fellow midfielder Jesper Gronkjaer is also on the verge of leaving Atletico to sign for Stuttgart, while the club are negotiating with Real Zaragoza to sign Argentine winger Luciano Galletti as his replacement.

Tacchinardi signs one-year deal with Villarreal
(Adds career details)
MADRID, July 28 (Reuters) - Former Italian international midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi has signed a one-year deal with Villarreal, the Primera Liga club announced on Thursday.
The experienced 30-year-old, who began his career at Atalanta, joins Villarreal after 11 years at Juventus where he won five league championships, one Italian Cup, the European Super Cup and the World Club Cup.
He did not play in the final when Juventus won the Champions League in 1996, but was involved in their defeats in the 1997, 1998 and 2003 finals.
Villarreal are in the third qualifying round of the Champions League after finishing in a best ever third place in the Primera Liga last season.
As well as Tacchinardi the club have also signed Argentine goalkeeper Mariano Barbosa and Ecuador midfielder Antonio Valencia to strengthen their squad in the close season.

Brazilian football star Jaja dies
July 28, 2005
RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) - Brazilian football legend Jair Rosa Pinto who was known as "Master Jaja" has died at the age of 84 at his home here after suffering from a lung related disease, local press reported.
Jaja, who gave advice to players like Pele and Didi, was known for his small feet (size 4/37) but it failed to hinder his talent as he was the player who invented the dead ball free-kick and step-over.
During his final years with Santos, Jaja spent time coaching a certain youngster by the name of Pele who at 19 was already a world champion with Brazil.
Jair Rosa Pinto never experienced World Cup fame like Pele, he played 41 matches and scored 21 goals for the national team.
Jaja was a member of the Brazilian world cup team that played in the "final of all finals" at the Maracana stadium in 1950 in which they lost 2-1 against Uruguay.
He couldn't understand how they had lost after leading 1-0 and he often asked God for an explanation.
Born in 1921 in Barra Mansa, near Rio, Jaja started his career in Madureira before playing for a number of big Brazilian clubs, Flamengo, Vasco de Gama, Santos, Ponte Preta and Palmeiras with which he experienced his greatest moments on the pitch.

By Barney Spender
ATHENS, July 29 (Reuters) - Swedish international Mikael Nilsson is due in Athens later on Friday to complete a move from English second division Southampton to top Greek side Panathinaikos, according to local media reports.
Panathinaikos, who will discover their opponents in the third qualifying round of the Champions League on Friday, have made no official comment.
But national broadcaster ERT said Nilsson, an ever-present for Sweden at Euro 2004, would be in Athens to complete negotiations.
The Southampton website said the 27-year-old utility player would cost a fee of 600,000 euros ($724,000).

Australia captain Moore joins Newcastle
(adds quotes)
LONDON, July 29 (Reuters) - Australia captain Craig Moore has joined Newcastle United, the Premier League club said on their website on Friday.
The 29-year-old defender signed a two-year contract after passing a medical.
Free agent Moore has been without a club since ending a brief spell with German Bundesliga team Borussia Moenchengladbach at the end of last season.
"I've watched the Premiership for many years and it's always been a place where I would like to play," said Moore. "I am really delighted to be given this opportunity.
"I don't feel as if I'm an old player, I think 29 is a good age. It's an extremely tough league but one I'm really looking forward to playing in."
Moore joined Rangers in 1993 and spent five seasons at Ibrox before leaving for Crystal Palace.
Moore, who has won 30 caps for Australia, spent six months with Palace before returning to Rangers.
He moved to Moenchengladbach on a free transfer in January.

Celtic sign Japan's Nakamura then look to China captain
By Kenny MacDonald
GLASGOW, July 29 (Reuters) - Celtic paraded their 2.75 million pounds ($4.83 million) Japan midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura on the eve of the new Scottish season and confirmed that China captain Du Wei is to arrive for a week's trial.
Nakamura, the first Japanese footballer to play in Scotland, told a packed news conference at Celtic Park on Friday that all he knew about the country was bagpipes and Highland dancing.
"When I arrived I saw many media people and the attention was on me so I want to contribute to the set up and the Celtic team and the fans as well," he said via an interpreter.
Celtic manager Gordon Strachan said Nakamura should make his debut next week, adding. "It will not be tomorrow (Saturday) because he has not really trained and is just getting himself together. Hopefully, it will be next Saturday.
Celtic, who lost a Champions League second round qualifier 5-0 at Artmedia Bratislava in midweek, open their Scottish Premier League campaign at Motherwell this Saturday followed by a home game against Dundee United the following weekend.
Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell confirmed Celtic's interest in China defender Du Wei. "He will be here on Saturday night and he will be training with us for a week, just to see how things go," said Lawell.
Strachan added: "Obviously, it is very hard to see players in that area but he comes highly recommended and we're looking to bring people in who will make the team better and take it on a level.
"So we are open-minded and there are a couple of Chinese lads who have done very well in England with their play, their attitude and their fitness and we thought, 'Yeah, we'll have a look.'"
Strachan compared the aftermath of the crushing Champions League defeat in Slovakia as being "like a death in the family".
"You get something like that two or three times in your career," he said. "I think I have had about two of these games ...and I have sat down and watched the video tape and I really do think it was a freakish result.
"Everything went right for them and everything that possibly could go wrong, went wrong for us."
The winners of the two-legged tie will face Partizan Belgrade or Sherif Tiraspol in the third qualifying round but with Celtic unlikely to progress after Tuesday's second leg at home, Strachan is trying to deal with the consequences.
"This game itself won't go away...ever. We need to start winning games now and help erase the memory of the game but I don't think it will ever totally go away.
"I said this morning (to the players), 'I don't care how you feel , you can still be depressed, you can laugh...but deal with it.'
"It is like a death in the family, and I am sorry if anyone has had a death in the family but it's like that.
"People deal with suffering in different ways, some laugh through it, some get depressed, some go silent. I said, 'I don't care how you get through it but tomorrow we have to be angry and put right some of the wrongs from Wednesday.'
"We cannot be emotional, we have to stay focused."

Czech striker Bednar joins Hearts
July 29, 2005
PRAGUE (AFP) - Czech striker Roman Bednar has signed a five-year contract with Scottish side Hearts, Bednar's agent Pavel Zika said.
The 22-year-old, who moves from Czech first division outfit Mlada Boleslav, joins compatriots Michal Pospisil and Rudolf Skacel who were signed by the Scottish Premiership side earlier this summer.
Bednar's transfer fee was put at between 20 million koruna (663,000 euros, 804,000 dollars) and 30 million koruna, according to agency reports although Mlada Boleslav declined to release the figure.
Bednar, 22, played for lower-division Bohemians Praha for three seasons before joining Mlada Boleslav. He goes abroad after playing only 25 matches in the Czech first league.
Sparta goalkeeper David Bicik may also join the team if a deal is struck for him to be on loan to Lithuanian team FBK Kaunas.
"We are still checking the possibilities relating to Kaunas and a permanent contract with Hearts," Zika said.
Atletico Madrid sign Argentina's Galletti
MADRID, July 29 (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid have signed Argentina winger Luciano Galletti from Real Zaragoza, the Primera Liga club said on Friday.
Galletti, who had one year left on his contract with Zaragoza, has agreed a three-year deal, with media reports putting the fee at 3.5 million euros ($4.24 million).
With unsettled Danish winger Jesper Gronkjaer negotiating a move to German side VfB Stuttgart, Galletti will be the ideal replacement. The versatile 25-year-old can operate on either flank.
Galletti is coach Carlos Bianchi's fourth major signing of the close season after Bulgarian midfielder Martin Petrov, Serbia & Montenegro striker Mateja Kezman, and Argentine forward Maxi Rodriguez.
He will fly out to join the rest of the squad at their pre-season training camp in England on Saturday.

Getafe sign former Boca defender Matellan
MADRID, July 31 (Reuters) - Argentine centre-back Anibal Matellan was unveiled by Getafe on Sunday after signing a one-season deal with the Primera Liga club.
Matellan, who can also play at left back, has spent most of his career at Boca Juniors but has played in Europe before when he had a three-year stint at German side Schalke 04 between 2001 and 2004.
"I opted for Getafe because my greatest wish since becoming a footballer was to play in Spain and this club has opened the door for me to fulfil that ambition," the 28-year-old told a news conference.
Getafe surprised many pundits last season with a highly creditable 13th place finish in their first ever campaign in the top flight.
Former German international Bernd Schuster has taken over as coach this season after Quique Sanchez Flores quit to take charge of Valencia.
Atletico Madrid agree to sell Gronkjaer to Stuttgart
MADRID, July 29 (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid have agreed to sell Denmark winger Jesper Gronkjaer to VfB Stuttgart.
"It wasn't easy to make this decision but the offer from Germany was very interesting and perhaps life will be easier than here in Spain," Gronkjaer told Atletico's website on Friday.
"I can speak German and the culture is more similar to that of Denmark's. Also I will be much closer to my family which is very important to me."
The Spanish newspaper Marca said earlier in the day that Stuttgart would pay a fee of around six million euros ($7.26 million) for Gronkjaer.
The 27-year-old put in a transfer request because he was unable to settle in the Spanish capital after joining from Birmingham City in January.
Media reports said Atletico paid English Premier League Birmingham a fee of two million euros for the former Chelsea winger.
Despite making a promising start to his Atletico career, Gronkjaer's season was cut short when he cracked a bone in his right leg at the start of May.
