Transfer Rumours – IN

By: b-man | Comments 6 Comments

Shanun Wright-Phillips
Chelsea winger SWP has been linked with the club recently. He is similar to Jermain Defoe when he was at Spurs in the sense that he’s a fantastic player but never plays! The Chelsea man looked as if he was getting a good run in the side until Avram Grant took charge and then [...]

£15million for Peter Crouch? Is Rafa Drunk?

By: b-man | Comments 1 Comment

With Pompey continually linked with Crouchy, Rafa Benitez has decided to offer what he considers a “reasonable” price tag.
Reasonable? Reasonable??? Half of that sum is pushing the boundaries of reasonable! £10million would be well over-the-top. But £15mil? Come on Rafa?!?
I’m not saying this because I think Crouch isn’t good. But that’s exactly what he is. [...]

Campbell Out… Luisao In

By: b-man | Comments No Comments

Benfica defender Luisao is set to replace the departing Sol Campbell this summer.
Big Sol is out of contract in the summer and it’s looking more than likely that he won’t be offered a new deal.
Luisao is valued at £12million by Benfica, which if you ask me is a bit high. Having said that though it’s [...]

It has been revealed/admitted by Pompey executives today that Jermain Defoe’s transfer from Tottenham to Pompey is only a loan deal. OH CRAP!
However Pompey fan’s don’t be worried. It turns out this happens quite a lot. When the clubs realise they aren’t going to finalise everything before the window shuts, they just call it a [...]

Benjani Could Still Join Manchester City

By: b-man | Comments 3 Comments

Pompey favourite Benjani could still be on his way to Man City.
Despite the paperwork not being completed on time last night, there is a rule which sometimes allows the transfer to go ahead even if it was completed after the deadline.
Pompeys top scorer is believed to want to move to City, and the clubs [...]

Deadline Day Defoe Deal!!!

By: b-man | Comments No Comments

In a fantastic deal for Pompey, Jermain Defoe reunited himself with former mentor Harry Redknapp.
The striker simply hadn’t been getting the games at Spurs, however now he’s got a chance to cement a first team place I have great confidence in his goalscoring abilities.
A fantastic bit of business considering the calibre of player Defoe [...]

Pompey Capture £5million Diarra

By: b-man | Comments 5 Comments

It was today confirmed that Portsmouth had signed French international Lassana Diarra from Arsenal for a fee around the £5mil-£5.5mil mark.
What a fantastic transfer! Being realistic, I seriously can’t think of any other player in the world who has his quality, potential and experience available for just £5mil.
When he was at Chelsea I didn’t think [...]
