Real Madrid are set to seal a deal for Portsmouth midfielder Lassana Diarra, according to Spanish sources.

Skysports.com revealed on Monday that the Spanish champions were ready to move for Diarra - who was being lined up by Premier League outfits Manchester City and Tottenham.

But now Juande Ramos looks set to step in and land the 23-year-old former Arsenal and Chelsea star.

"The big players are already in the Champions League and cannot be signed," Ramos is quoted as saying.

"If the players do not have the quality, then we will miss them - the players have to be worth it."

And on Diarra he added: "He is a player I know well, and I would like a player like Diarra here."

It is claimed that Real will pay £9million for Diarra and they hope to announce his signing in the next 48 hours.

Diarra is being brought in after his namesake, but not relation, Mahamadou Diarra was ruled out for the rest of the season.

 

 

I don't see £18m anywhere....my skate chum stated this sum to me yesterday also,but hey, what does he know?

PFC = Big Time

PFC=Wigan of the south

did you notice the Fratton end was empty in added time sunday? Those Pompey til I die fans must have had a mass suicide as they all had gone. More plastic at Pompey than at Tupperware party.

£24M done deal, and as you believe everything thats written in the papers ref pompey thats negative you cannot deny this must be fact

 

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...cle2044840.ece

 

FWIW an injury prone player who hasn't reached the same heights as last year, this is a great deal for PFC. I think the price will be nearer £20M euros and if we (and I believe we will) get a replacement in which is believed to be a Shalke midfielder whose is half decent I'll be happy.

 

However, that does not distract from the fact I think Adams is not upto it and if we are not careful next year we could be in trouble. SACK the WAC.

 

As for fire sales, the Diarra deal should see to it that we are ok for this season at least

Show me hard facts we have to sell, that is facts that have not come from a jackanory journo. If you can find facts then also include tony adams comments today that we are in fact going to have funds in Jan. We have agreed to sign Belhadji for £3M in January ! But we are skint - remember that, I'll be back Jan 31st to resurrect your post [end quote]

 

Ill take the bet. How do we go about it? I will be happy for you to contact Baj or Granty to put your money up so we know it gets paid and I will do the same. You tell me what you count as your top players and we can then get a list to make sure it is fair to both parties.Any winnings due to me can be made payable to Naiomi house childrens hospice.

Leyt me know how to procede

So what time will their announcement of a takeover be tomorrow?

 

It's before their next European adventure / waste of time.

 

Corpse said so, and she's never wrong!!

 

Regarding the sale of Pompey, I'm told things are progressing nicely and that an announcement about a takeover could even be made as early as next week at our UEFA Cup game.

 

Where did I say a takeover would be announced before the game tonight then? Seems you have trouble reading clear English

 

no you disappeared when the going got tough, jusrt as I said you would/did. You have been shown up as the big bragger and bag of wind you are.

 

Unlike you eh, Nick Nack? I posted a response to the ******** you wrote about our game against Milan (their "understrength side etc) in the post on the Muppet board which I notice you've completely failed to respond to, largely I suspect because it makes you look like a complete chump.

I'm sure once the gun running drug dealer has had a 'word' their offer will be upped to £18m

 

Not quite so Billy Big ******** now that the fee's been confirmed as around the £20m mark are you? :smt033

yeah ok Nick, I'll stand by what I said.

 

Top Players

 

Defoe

Crouch

James (debateable as he's crap this season lol and worth less than £3M)

Johnson

Distin (30 year old lol)

Krancjar - IMHO not good enough either

 

So I would really only see top players being 5 of those 6 with James or Niko not in it.

 

I know Granty - he knows me so I am sure we can work something out.

 

By the way PFC confirm we had a bid of of over £20M from Real and Diarra is going in January.

James, Sol and Krankjar are big players for you, well they are in my eyes. I dont expect you to include people like Davis etc

So we will wait and see but I count the three listed above as big players especially as they are on massive wages

Dont come up with that the thread was dead and you answered 6 days later. I notice you are back now that the Diarra deal looks a high figure but gone for days on end when your back was against the wall.

Your big talk and the takeover was certain made you disappear.

As for the thread on the MS I dont recall Crouchs 3 chances, they were not as clear as the ones missed by Milan. Anyway your fans have returned to normal only turning up to watch the top teams.

A club that has only recently won the FA cup still cannot fill a 20000 ground.It is pathetic and deep down you know it is true but will bluster on that it is normal..lol

To be honest, Nick, I'd agree with the skate on the overall "top players" list and also the Campbell issue - he's starting to become a bit of a liability rather than a top, top player Redknapp>.

In my opinion a 'big player' is one who is on massive wages and recognised international name.Sol is a guarenteed starter and a lynchpin of the defence as is James who is Englands no1 keeper...

Lets see how many leave and then we can go for the nitty gritty.

No, Nick Nack, I don't post either when I'm not at work or when I'm too busy - which has been the case for the last week or so.

 

Regarding the sale of Pompey, I'm told things are progressing nicely and that an announcement about a takeover could even be made as early as next week at our UEFA Cup game. Don't you think it's strange that Gaydamak spent months denying the club was for sale only to admit that it was out of the blue? What do you think could have prompted him to change his mind?

 

See if your senile little mind can propose a couple of possibilities Mavis. :D

 

Did you get sold yet?

A man of conviction then. So Sol is not a big player. LOL.

I feel dirty sticking up for a skate, but never mind.

 

How many Premier League (or other top foreign league) clubs would pay money for Sol Campbell these days, particularly given his likely wage demands? I reckon you'd be able to count them on the fingers of one hand with some fingers left over.

 

You can't make the bet and then turn around and say "we'll wait and see who you sell and then I'll decide which players are your 'top' players"! :lol:

According to soccerbase Campbell has played in 12 skate prem matches this season (out of 17) that is a fair majority and does not include his UEFA matches. So he is definitely a first teamer and therefore a key player for them.

Everyone knows Pompey are skint.

 

The only people denying it are those with a vested commercial interest and a few numpty skates sad enough to register on a Saints messageboard.

 

Pompey will be ok. Thanks for the concern. ;)

Let's post it lots of times - and wait for the responses from the likes of Corpse and Meringwhatever.

 

:lol:

 

Interesting quote from Lauren isn't it. I posted the other day that I'd heard Johnson was off, probably to Liverpool (don't believe poor old Harry has as much money at Spurs as he expected, he's being linked today with a move for Steve Finnan on loan :p). However, I'm not sure how Defoe is going to rejoin Spurs in January seeing as Premier League rules prevent a player from rejoining his former club within 12 months of leaving and you may remember that due to a problem over Man City's registration of Benjani we didn't formally sign Defoe until after the transfer window closed. I guess Spuds could seek special dispensation from the League to sign him but it goes against all their rules. Wouln't rule out him going back in the summer but even then we'll be making a very nice profit on a player they sold to us.

Is a minimum of £35m skint these days? That's how much Gaydamak sold his stake in a Russian company ( Antanta Pioglobal) for recently. Not suggesting he'd pump all this amount into the club but to suggest he has no money - as has been done many times on here recently - is clearly way off the mark. Please also note, that was his stake in the company, not his father's. How does that sit with your lots repeated posts that he has no money of his own? ;)

I think I remember reading somewhere that the window will actually close on Monday 2nd February this season due to the 31st January falling on a Saturday (and therefore no admin staff at the FA available etc), which would mean that they have a 24-hour window in which to seal a deal on that front.

Having spoken to various financial types in the last couple of years, the general consensus (back when more people were actually to **** money down the drain into football clubs) was that benefactors would potentially be willing to stake up to 10% of their net worth as a gamble on getting a return in the future. I assume AG has a higher worth than just the £35m he now possesses, but I wouldn't have thought it would be that much more - assuming he is willing to put any more money in, £5m or so is hardly going to make a big difference to you, is it?

We didn't sign him permanently until well after the transfer window shut Granty. Unusual circumstances which the Prem League allowed because Benjani's registration that City faxed through was delayed/ lost which meant it was their fault we didn't sign him permanantly. Defoe signed on loan on transfer deadline day and didn't become a permanent Pompey player until sometime in March I believe. Don't see how a two day extension to the window in Janury is going to help Spuds with that one.

Like I said Granty, my point wasn't that this £35m would be put into Pompey anyway. It was just to reply to so many Saints posters on here who have said that Gaydamak is selling Pompey because (a) he's skint (he clearly isn't and you're right, he owns other companies besides the one he sold. The Sunday Times estimated his net worth at around £100m) and (b) that he has no money of his own and it's all his father's. This proves that neither of those are true.

And I'd expect the FA to allow the same special dispensation because the intention was to sign him permanently on 31st January 2008 but because of Man City's dodgy fax machine and Benjani's inability to stay awake at the airport - neither of which were Pompey's fault - it didn't happen at that time.

 

Of course, permanent signings are forbidden outside of the transfer windows, with the exception of signing unattached players, so I imagine his actual registration date is still 31st January/1st February 2008.

It doesn't necessarily mean that that money is *actually* his, of course... ;)

 

IMO, Gaydamak's not selling Pompey because he's skint, he's selling Pompey because in its current state and in the current economic climate, there's absolutely no way he'd be able to make any money out of it, so he's cutting his losses now before he gets in deeper than he can afford. I think he envisaged having the stadium building work started by now, probably didn't predict the slump in the housing market, and didn't think he'd be sanctioning the paying of a number of £3m+ annual salaries among the playing squad.

 

The stadium won't happen with the original residential plans because of the collapse of the housing market, and I'm led to believe that Portsmouth city council won't allow an out-of-town stadium to have retail developments surrounding it because it could/would take people out of the city centre and Gunwharf. All of which means the entire stadium development would either have to revert to Mandaric's original plan of rebuilding Fratton Park (still the most realistic idea of the lot, I reckon) or be funded by the football club, an investor or external borrowing. None of the three options for a non-Fratton Park site are viable at the moment as far as I can see.

Agree with you about Gaydamak. He's always said that he's here to make money so no surprise he's looking to sell up. Not sure you're right about the stadium/ shopping part though. That report sensationalised some of the aspects of the plan but the commercial aspect of it is largely for a supermarket which is hardly going to take people away from Gunwharf and the proposed Northern Quarter redevelopment of the town centre (if it ever happens). The biggest problem is funding the stadium although with two of the supermarket chains keen to be involved (one for the new site and one that wants to redevelop Fratton) it takes a lot of the financial pain away. I was told that the club would have already been sold if Gaydamak hadn't insisted on retaining the contract to build the new stadium for one of his companies (the buyers were middle eastern and wanted to build the stadium themselves with their own companies).

 

We'll have to agree to disagree on Defoe

 

That's it, three posts for today. Off to Vegas now where I'm told it's snowing :confused:

I'm not suggesting Gaydamak has no money and I never have.

 

It is a published fact, however, that Pompey have no money and that he wants to sell it. It is therefore quite irrelevant how much money he has IMO.

 

I'm not saying Pompey are going to go down the drain (although obviously it would be very funny if they did), but what is clear is that anyone who states Pompey are not in financial trouble at the moment, is wrong.

But the arguement was not about transfer fees being taken it was about Pompey were going to lose their major players and being a player who commands massive wages and a internationally recognised player , he is a major player.Merovian has made the statement I took him up on his bet and then he qualified it by cutting out a couple of their main men.

last time I looked there was the mother of all Tescos 500 yards from the proposed new site for ****e Park II, who the **** is going to literally drive past Tesco then go down towards the sea, which is out of their way, to shop at another supermarket? That doesn't add up to me.

So.

 

Have you been sold yet?

 

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

 

Was told late last night that the SA group looking to buy us had a hitch in their plans but that they now have the finance to buy the club pretty much in place. They have around £60m and Gaydamak wants £65m. Have been told that the deal should (unless something else crops up) happen some time in January. Have also been told that this group don't want Adams and that he's likely to be moved out before the deal is announced. So keep watching. ;)

 

How's your search for new owners coming along? I hear administration is a definite possibility for you in January.

Depends on who the new supermarket would be. I hate Tesco and shop at Sainsburys in Farlington. But it's relatively small. Nowhere near as big as the Sainsburys at Hedge End. Which, of course, is only a couple of miles away from Tesco at Bursledon/ Hamble. Supermarkets need bigger stores these days because they need more space to display the non - food stuff they're making so much money on.

That scenario is just what we kept hearing for the last 2 years about our takeovers. Are you serious when you are saying that you believe that they are going to pay £60+ m. I think you will fiond that even Gaydamek said he wanted 20m so it doesnt add up.

These rumours will drive you mad as they did us.

I would think that the Rand was too weak for them to be splashing too much cash at present.

Adams will not last I agree with that, he is a little unhinged IMO.

You need to get things on an even keel quite quickly or you will be in the scrap at the bottom not the top.I had you down for at least 8th but the way things are looking iot may be 13th or worse.

I would think that the Rand was too weak for them to be splashing too much cash at present.

Adams will not last I agree with that, he is a little unhinged IMO.

You need to get things on an even keel quite quickly or you will be in the scrap at the bottom not the top.I had you down for at least 8th but the way things are looking iot may be 13th or worse.

 

To be fair Nick (you answered reasonably so I'll offer you the same courtesy) I don't believe Gaydamak has ever been actually quoted saying what he wanted for the club. Figures have been bandied around in the media as anywhere from £1 (a figure you all liked on here) to as much as £100m. If you can provide a quote showing me that Gaydamak stated he wanted £20m for the club I'll happily admit you're right but don't believe you are. As far as the strength of the Rand is concerned, if these guys are anything like the other South Africans I know this could be a way of getting some of their money out of the country - who knows. All I know is what I've been told and that the guys looking to buy are a group of individually wealthy South Africans who now have the finance for a bid pretty much in place.

 

The info came from someone in a position to offer specifics, not a fan who heard a rumour from a mate. It could all go tits up of course. Time will tell.

Was told late last night that the SA group looking to buy us had a hitch in their plans but that they now have the finance to buy the club pretty much in place. They have around £60m and Gaydamak wants £65m. Have been told that the deal should (unless something else crops up) happen some time in January. Have also been told that this group don't want Adams and that he's likely to be moved out before the deal is announced. So keep watching. ;)

 

Not until January now eh?

 

Even you guys must be getting bored of these substance less rumours from 'reliable sources' :rolleyes:

 

I wouldn't take Adams leaving as a sign of investment coming if I were you, his cards are pretty much marked at the moment aren't they?

 

It's a shame that Gaydamak went with him in the first place as he is very much the 'cheap' option, I'd expect nothing less from us, but surely Gaydamak hasn't been getting advice from Rupert has he?

 

I look forward to administration in January, IF it gets rid of Rupert and the other numpties in charge of our club :D

Corpse , back from Vegas so soon ???

 

So the last thing you do before you leave for your weekend away is post on your RIVALS website , then as soon as your back you post again ........

 

You must be the saddest c*nt alive !!!

 

What is your obsession with Saints ? Do your family/friends/colleagues find your behaviour strange ?

 

Or is it that really your a loner with nothing better to do than spend your life 'taunting' your rivals ..... W&nker

 

My trip to Vegas was a business one and happily, the people I was meeting there phoned just as I got to the airport to say they couldn't make it. Which meant that rather than spending days away from home and not get back until Xmas Eve as planned I got to spend the weekend with my wife. Bad luck for her but good luck for me. Also, posting on here wasn't the last thing I did before I left, but as I only have three posts per day it was the last post I could make. And as I didn't have to make the trip posting on here wasn't the first thing I did. In fact as usual I didn't post on here at all over the weekend nor yesterday. Which sort of ****es on your chips claiming I'm obsessed wouldn't you say? If I was obsessed, I'd be on here at weekends and in the evenings? Fair point?

 

Hope Santa brings you the gimp mask you want for Xmas :cool:

 

I think Adams will bottle it.

 

Ba Da Tish :D

Far from substance less. Just that when a deal is being put together for so much money lots of things can change. I'm not looking at Adams leaving as a sign of new investment. I was just told the this group don't want him. Not sure that Adams was appointed as the cheap option - not in the way you mean anyway. Think it was more of a case of Gaydamak knowing he was leaving and appointing TA meant that there would be less compensation to pay if he was let go, rather than bringing in a name like Allardyce who'd be on biggish money and a long contract with lots of staff. Adams was the cheap option in that respect.

 

That's three posts. Off for Xmas now. See you in the New Year for more fun and frolics :D
