Never heard of him, but a big, strong defensive midfielder is just what we need, so he sounds perfect.

Lmfao

Can't believe I didn't get that.

Oh dear.

LOL i like it!

Portsmouth complete the signings of Pedro Mendes, Noe Pamarot, and Sean Davis from Spurs

Sounds like good business to me. Pedro Mendes is the best player out of the three and he cost Spurs £2mil. To sell all three for £7.5mil looks like a good deal on Tottenham's part, especially if it finances the purchase of a first-team regular (not a midfielder, please

).

JohnnyG · 12 Jan 2006 at 20:05

It's a great deal for Spurs & Pompey will be paying over the odds for most players they get from now on

Arsenal to get Walcott

Hope this happens, he does look a major talent

Is this Diaby kid a Potential Viera replacement then?

From Sky Sports
Diaby is a powerful midfielder in the mould of the departed Patrick Vieira, with The Gunners hopeful that he will eventually be ready to replace their former captain as a Highbury favourite.

Think Theo will come in the Summer tbh

NokkonWud · 12 Jan 2006 at 20:51

More kids for Arsenal. You gotta give credit to Wenger, he's got balls.

NokkonWud · 12 Jan 2006 at 20:56

I'm no tsure, £7.5m seems like a lot for those 3, it's more than what Spurs laid out to buy them and none of them have been regulars. I'd have said £4.5 was a more realistic figure without being ripped off.

Big Kev · 12 Jan 2006 at 20:56

It's alright buying these kids, but they're not going to help us get to the CL this season, we need a midfielder who can take up the challenge now, not in a couple of years.

I don't want to start next season, in a brand spanking new super stadium, playing Tenerife Rovers in the UEFA cup.

And it's VIEIRA!!!!!

Everytime a new potential midfielder is mentionged these days they say are the new Viera replacement.

JohnnyG · 12 Jan 2006 at 21:04

That's what I meant mate, Pompey will now be paying inflated prices because they can apparently afford it now

BrenOS · 12 Jan 2006 at 21:06

Keen was better than Viera anyway.

That is perhaps the thing that annoys me most. Spell it right!!!!!

Viera is a goalkeeper for Villareal.

I think Walcott might, he's certainly a big big talent already and could provide a few players a kick up the ARSEnal.

Any player young or old will be in better form that Gilberto at the moment.

Did I miss something or does that Walcott story on the bbc site not actually name Arsenal or indeed any other club as a potential destination for him?

G|mp · 12 Jan 2006 at 21:10

Go to the Saints page. It was reported on Local TV down there.
