A happy threesome at Portsmouth

Harry Redknapp will sign Peter Crouch. Redknapp's old club Portsmouth have accepted a 10 million pound offer for the gangly striker, and he's about to rejoin former team-mate DeFoe and former boss Redknapp. Crouch will sign a five year deal.
Although Redknapp last week said the fee would be too much for Spurs, the deal has gone through.

He said at the time: "I just feel that for that type of money it is an awful lot of money. It is an expensive deal because there is no return on it.
"I don't know whether it is possible for us to do that type of deal. It is an expensive deal. The whole package looks expensive."

Portsmouth could also offload more players even though Sulaiman Al Fahim's takeover of the Premiership side is almost complete, but there will be no spending sprees.

"It's important everybody understands that we have to cut our cloth," Hart, who has been appointed on a permanent basis, told BBC Radio 5 Live. "The days of £20m buys are over in the short-term, but maybe not longer-term."

Beckham back to the Prem?

David Beckham might be a target for Tottenham and Chelsea, and he should be delighted with the news (as it means more money and media hype for him), but also it may book him a place to South Africa in England's World Cup squad.
The whiner returned to his first match for the Galaxy after finishing a loan spell at AC Milan to boos from sections of the crowd, who are finally realizing that his move from Real Madrid wasn't about the football at all, but for money and fame.

Tottenham and Chelsea are prepared to bring him to London, although Beckham wants to return to Italy (Leonardo...don't you dare!...i know where you live!). I hope he goes to Chelsea, just so they can pay him a huge amount and get half the player he was at Man UTD.
And Harry Redknapp.......what are you thinking? Beckham is a show-off and all he wants to do is USE a top EUROPEAN team to bolster his push for a World Cup place for England.

To ALL European teams, whether in top flight or bottom of the league, DO NOT sign David Beckham!!! Let him rot at LA and suffer the consequence of signing for the colour of green, and not for the football. He could have gone back to England instead of to the MLS, but now he has realized that if he stays with the Galaxy, he might not play for England again.

Beckham said 'Never say never. I'd definitely consider it. When I left, my heart was in Manchester - I couldn't see myself playing against United. Now I wouldn't rule it out.'

I believe Beckham is an ABBA fan, his favourite song is "Money Money Money"
Wouldn't you agree?

Treetop striker for Spurs

Tottenham manager Harry Reknapp wants to join the race for Portsmouth striker Peter Crouch, and is ready to fight of Fulham and Sunderland to capture his signature.

He said: "I like Peter. I've signed him several times and he's a top player."He's a player we could be interested in but we'll have to wait and see."Portsmouth obviously want to sell him now, so we'd be interested."

If this goes through i think he'll do better at Tottenham than he did at Liverpool, i mean, ask Robbie Keane about that!
Rafa has a certain managerial style that may have worked in Spain, but in the English Premier League it's doing nothing except getting him frustrated at the disappointment of not winning the title, and getting him criticism(especially from me)for his whiny ways.
Ok, back to Crouch.....Crouch is a good player in his own way, but i don't think he's world class, i think he was a mistake for Liverpool, but i think he'll patner Keane very well. Good buy for Spurs if it happens.

Negredo to the English Prem

Real Madrid forward Alvaro Negredo is about to sign for English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, according to radio Cadena SER.
Spurs will pay between 18 and 20 million euros for the 23 year old who has returned from a loan spell with Spanish side Almeria.
This comes to no surprise as Real have acquired 4 new players so far, to a total cost of around 280 million dollars, and lack of space at the Bernabeu locker room.
Real's president Perez has stated the obvious, talking to Spanish television

"We need now to concentrate out efforts to convince some players that they will have to leave. A reasonable squad is 25 players, ours is now 35"

Among the ousted could be Dutch forward Huntelaar who has been linked to Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart and fellow Dutch international Van der Vaart, who could possibly join Huntelaar in the Bundesliga with Hamburg.

Will ex-Gunner Vieira shoot down Spurs?

English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur have offered former Arsenal midfiled man Patrick Vieira a one year contract, understanding that his current club Inter Milan are ready to release him. It is reported that Spurs would offer Vieira a pay-as-you-play deal worth around 35,000 pounds a week
And Vieira could jump at the chance if he feels he still has what it takes to play for France in what could be his last World Cup next year
But Spurs have competition in the likes of Sunderland, Paris St Germain and Lyon.
Whatever his decision, i think he's still a great player, he's still deserves to be in the French World Cup squad, and i hope he gets there.
I just wonder how will the Arsenal faithful take it seeing him turn out each week in another London club's colours.
