Dindane to Celtic/ANOTHER off to Spurs!

Dindane to Celtic, Kaboul to Spurs, James to Stoke, Utaka to Socheaux, Ashdown to QPR, Williamson to Watford, Piquionne & Finnan to Rangers, Belhadj to erm.. Wolves was it, Diop to Birmingham.. Why oh why does nobody want Mullins or Mokeona ... As you say rug.. lazy journalism.. hopefully

I for one, as a spurs fan would not take him back. There's a reason why we sold him, he's just not good enough. yes he's got a good spell going this year, but there are better prospects then him in the same age bracket. But the point that you still owe us some money stands and I think that's where this mambo-jumbo comes from. At the moment we only need a squad def. who can ease the pressure on our starting backs.

are you lot forgetting younes failed at spurs? he is in no way good enough for us! a cente half who thinks he's a midfielder/winger/striker?....defoe came from us to start with and he is rightully back home now, but thanks for niko, pure class....and now that he has some real talent around him we are seeing what he is really capable of....remember we threw you jamie o hara on loan to help you from going down, and he was prob your best player, so think befoe you keep moaning about spurs!

our site redactor share's my opinion.

More press rubbish and as Rug and Chix say lazy journalism. Spuds fans certainly saw the worst of Janice but we have seen the true player this season and without him we would already be relegated.

If Pompey do not pay the money owed for Kaboul's transfer, could we ask for it to be ripped up and take him back? Or would it be a case of administrators etc selling to the highest bidder? Would prefer Kaboul back and then we do as we see fit rather than having some administrator sell him off and divide the money between all the creditors, especially as HMRC take precedence and then probably on order of when the transfers occured! We'll just take Kaboul back full stop if goes that far. In a way would be nice if the transfer embargo on Pompey was lifted as we have quality youngsters who need games and would probably be able to help and the relegation fight would hopefully do them well in gaining tough vital experience. Gio, Rose, Naughton even Bale to name a few. If the likes of Bel Hadj and Piquionne were to go, Bale, Rose and Gio would be perfect replacements. Gio would bring some finesse to the power and directness of Boateng and might actually form a very tasty partnership. As for Bale and Rose add pace and guile to your left blank. Not to mention MR O'Hara continuing the job already started. Hopefully the embargo is lifted and Harry can send a salvage team down there for both our benefits. Think the Pompey fans would also appreciate the attacking flair of the 3 mentioned. Atleast if going down, do it in style and watch some decent footy for your money!

Anybody else fed up with being Spurs' feeder club ??? Cheerio Dindane, but would be a shame to loose Kaboul without a hefty price tag.....O'Hara and £5-7M might get a deal tho !!If the transfer ban is ever lifted - Still, this is GOOD NEWS FRIDAY !!!!! ;-) PUP

I have to say I don't mind Spurs too much. Some of them are very entertaining and most of them do wish us luck. As for being their feeder club, we have had a fair few of their players over the years, and made good money from them as well. Re HR, they have a thread running at the moment headed "Spurs Next manager?". For Chrissakes Harry has only just been charged! Still, they have the right attitude and perhaps Harry and Spurs deserve each other?

Perhaps they are paying us our instalments, and we have to pay them theirs, even tho they probably owe us more than we owe them. Weird - I don't know how it works.

Couldn't we buy someone off Kay's catalogue? Or was that Mokoena?

I'm probably being stupid, and it's true that I haven't posted here for months due to not having a spare moment these days but if Spurs have a Crouch payment due that they can accelerate, how do we still owe them money? If I owed you £100 and then you wanted to buy a computer off me for £150, I would expect you to pay me £50 and wipe out my debt. If we owe them money and they owe us money (even if it's not actually due) then is it our stupidity or their stupidity that the debts weren't just cancelled out up to the value of the lowest owing amount?

Might be loads of clauses contingent on this happening or that happening, etc. Defoe and Crouch are international strikers so there could be goal related clauses both for club and country aswell as appearances again both for club and country, etc. These only get triggered when the clauses are met, but say that the player is close to achieveing the stipulated clause, might waive it and accelerate receipt etc, who knows how these things work. Vice versa, Kaboul might have fulfilled appearance quotas so we are now owed. With such deals, it keeps it a lot simpler to just have straightforward anal adherance to what is in the contracts as opposed to the example above if owe you £100.00, but sell you something for £150.00, only have to give me £50.00, etc. Bit harsh to have a transfer embargo as regards loan signings as technically there might not be any money involved, etc and there are benefits to both clubs. Fair enough no buying of players on any type of credit to avoid fulling more into the red, but how exactly is it a good idea to stop someone in trouble from getting free help so to speak? Its a bit late to be punishing and if as the Prem league say doing all they can to help Pompey, well common sense dictates that would have to include allowing them to sign loan players to get out of there predicament (eg because the loan players are either better or because Pompey can sell players they own for cash and then replace them with loan signings to put players out on the pitch). Although it is slightly harsh on the club loaning the player having to also pay his wages (like O'Hara) whilst playing elsewhere, the owning club still get the benefit of the development of their player who should improve his ability etc by playing which in turn will increase his value and appeal whilst also keeping the player happy as opposed to rotting in the reserves. If Spurs are happy to loan O'Hara, Gio, Naughton etc to Portsmouth without any money involved do not see what it has to do with the Prem league or why an embargo is necessary. Indeed it almost smacks of a concerted attempt to get Pompey relegated and thus chucked out of Prem league so they become someone elses problem and embarrasment! One thing is protecting other clubs from losing money by dealing with Pompey in terms of full transfers, but loans are beneficial to both sides of the agreement thus Prem league should keep their noses out of such deals.

Unless interest has been mounting up because of payments not made on time and Levy is paramount to a loan shark with extortionate rates of interest? Atleast Pompey look to play football properly, not all this Hull, Stoke crap. Bloody embarrasment to the Premier League and their own paying fans. Not one entertaining player in any of those team's that I can think of, barring perhaps Tuncay (at a stretch) and Bullard. Atleast he can entertain be it with a football or without it! Why can these team's not loan attacking flair players from the likes of us, etc? We have Giovanni Dos Santos on the bench doing nothing! Mexican international schooled at Barcelona. Ridiculous that these team's are not willing to recruit such players in order to entertain their paying fans whilst still attempting to get results and make the Premiership the best league in the world for showcasing the beautiful game.
