Pompey update, Harry Redknapp has been linked with many players.

latest pompey rumours

Mirel Radoi [Steaua Bucharest & Romanian International Central Defender]

Radoi set for £7 million Pompey move: report
http://www.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=922&p=2&stid=8413838
By pompey-fans.com staff
Date: 16/6/2006

NEWS ++++ The Romanian sports press is reporting on Saturday that Mirel Radoi, the international defender from Steaua Bucharest is on the verge of a move to England. His destination? Portsmouth.

Pompey and Lens agree Thomert transfer
http://www.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=922&p=2&stid=8413854
By pompey-fans.com staff
Date: 17/6/2006

NEWS ++++ The French Sports daily L'Equipe is reporting that Pompey and Lens reached agreement over a £6 million transfer of midfielder Olivier Thomert and now the player only has to agree personal terms.

Achille Emana [Right Sided Midfielder, Cameroon International]
http://tinyurl.com/efqph
According to Sky Sports, the South Coast club are about to complete deals for Toulouse midfielder Achille Emana
A deal for Emana is apparently done and dusted, with his club Toulouse having agreed a fee of Stg2.7 million deal with Pompey for the Cameroon international, who is set to agree a three-year-deal.

Harry is flying out to Germany to scout some Ivorian players
POMPEY are preparing to plunder the Ivory Coast.

Defender Abdoulaye Meite is keen on a move to the Premiership and Redknapp has been linked with speedy striker Aruna Dindane in the past.
Midfield trio Bonaventure Kalou, Didier Zokora and Yaya Toure – brother of Arsenal defender Kolo – are others he will watch.

other rumours:

Glen Johnson on a season loan
Anelka
SWP on a season loan
Sol Campbell
Zoltan Gera

Apparently Redknapp has drawn up a shortlist of 20 players ! looking to bring in at least 6

2 Strikers
RM
LM
CD
and a full back

Tevez and Torres

Man Utd are after Fernando Torres for 25 Milion !
Tevez will he move to Europe after WC?

hahaha, oh how quickly they turn!

I thought Man Utd had spent all their money for the next five years on Rooney.

I thought Man Utd had spent all their money for the next five years on Rooney.

When they signed Rooney two years ago that was supposed to be the 'next season's transfer budget' blown (presumably meaning 04/05). This is irrelevant now anyway with the club in a very different financial situation.

rather than a relegation battling English one? Congratulations to young Andres on making the step up.

Eidur really suits that Barca kit, good for him.

Del Ass-andro - it was reported his greedy agent wanted an extra 20% per week on top of the player's wages ! This apparently would have meant pompey paying a total of 38K per week, on the demands of the agent re: player's wage + greedy agent's cut

As Simon Jordan [Crystal Palace] once said, if player wants to pay an agent - it should be paid by the player direct NOT as an extra to be paid by the club.

I reckon Benitez likes Finnan (who I agree has had a second great season, unbelievable to think Kerr managed to leave him out)

Any news on Gonzalez's permit yet? He looked really good when Ireland played Chile last month.

Very excited about Ballack.

Please god don't let us sign Roberto Carlos.

I see Man Utd are being linked with every combative midfielder at the WC.

Yeah, once you factor in Arry's envelopes, that's a bit expensive.

Perhaps WGS will do the same to take the heat off Dion Dublin :-)

xpost

anyway the only coup going at on loftus road is drawing northampton in the cup for the 87th season in a row amirite

have northampton got a new manager yet or are they gonna be the ones to take ian holloway off our grubby hands?

Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp is urging Celtic not to block Stilian Petrov's bid to play in England.

Let him go GORDON !

IN:
Steve Wales (right midfield, ex Yeading, England semi-pro international)
Michael Haswell (left midfielder, ex Chelmsford)
Darren Grieves (forward, ex East Thurrock United, Yeading, Aylesbury, Cheshunt)
Steve Watson (central midfielder, ex Aldershot, Stevenage, Sutton, Farnborough, England semi-pro international)

OUT:
Michael Woolner (central midfielder/centre back, released)
Dave Sargent (left back, released)
Duane Plummer (attacking midfielder, Heybridge Swifts)
Dean Brennan (right midfielder, released)
Tony Battersby (forward, released)

(but cheers for that goal against Liverpool in the UEFA Cup run, that was brilliant, and for all the rest of them too I guess, but that was a corker)

Glen Johnson joins Portsmouth on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea
http://www.stellargroup.co.uk/news.php?newsid=1739

what's he on at Arsenal now. the same?

Maybe he wants a fresh challenge, and 50K is an adequate salary.

If he does sign, pompey are not going to be popular with spurs fans next season - Tony Adams as AM, and the so called Judas Sol in defence.

Worst Value Transfer of the Summer?

Wigan seal £5.5m move for Heskey
http://tinyurl.com/rdang

Heskey is not worth half that, what were Wigan thinking of bidding so high? or were they deseperate as they have R & R [Recruitment & Retention] problem?

In other big-useless-guys-who-can't-turn news, Wee Gogs is apparently considering sgning Dion Dublin again.

(I hope you are taking the piss)

and i see that hardy perennial, the benni mccarthy to premiership, has resurfaced once again, with blackburn the suitors this time. in the last year of his contract at porto though, so, if porto want to get anything for him at all, now is the time...

Barry Hayles [Millwall - Plymouth] £100,000
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake [Manchester United - Plymouth] £200,000*

If anything, it might improve the balance of the midfield a bit more, with a more defensive player (Zokora probably, Davids maybe) sitting behind Jenas. Although I'd still like to see Tom Huddlestone come through and deliver on his promise.

Carrick's role at Man Utd is an interesting one - he's hardly The Next Roy Keane although he could be great spraying passes out to Giggs and Ronaldo. They need a replacement for Scholes now, really. I suppose he doesn't instinctively get forward enough, but has anyone ever tried playing him further forward in a Riquelme style playmaker-type role?

If the money goes towards signing Stuart Downing and a decent right-back, I'll be happy. If Man Utd then sign Defoe, I'll be pissed off - if pre-season is anything to go by there's the makings of a deadly partnership between him and Berbatov.

scholes has, apparently, been in very good form in pre-season.

Really? That is astonishing. If it's true, we're really milking that whole Frank Arnesen thing.
