Transfer update…
By: Drew | January 16th, 2009Possible in’s:
1. So news has surfaced that Wigan has officially accepted the improved bid of 14 million for Midfielder Wilson Palacios. The deal is being described as “virtually agreed” meaning he’s as good as ours. The question being, is he worth this much? and do we really need another mid? I thought we were looking for a left winger? All I have to go on is his stats and the few times that I’ve seen him play against Spurs. I just didn’t think we need more center-mids, maybe Harry has something up his sleeve.
2. The signing of Jermain Defoe was, (what most people thought was) Harry’s solution to our lack of strikers. Wrong! Apparently the Craig Bellamy saga has a new chapter, after the striker has stated he wishes to hold talks with Spurs. West Ham have offered Bellamy a new and improved contract, but no news of whether he’s accepted has surfaced. Again, is this really a player we should be splashing money on? Our last bid was also around 14 million… No offense to Hammer fans, but I don’t think he’s worth it.
Still no left winger, Still no prospects for left winger, Still no word about Appiah(who to me seems like a much better deal for a Mid than Palacios).
All of this craziness before the tie with Pompey this weekend, and coming off the tail-end of our defeat last week should make for an interesting tie at the Lane. Not to mention the vengeance that most Portsmouth fans will wish to inflict on Defoe and Redknapp, but we all knew that would be coming.
