Newz Forum: SOCCER: Redknapp signing spree in January

Harry Redknapp proved himself the most prolific of managers during the January transfer window,bringing in seven new players and offloading four others.The Portsmouth boss, who remodelled the squad at the start of the season, predicts the latest shake-up at Fratton Park gives Pompey every chance of staying in the Barclaycard Premiership in a survival scrap that features all three newly-promoted clubs.

Most recent Pompey arrivals were Newcastle forward Lomana LuaLua, on loan for the rest of the season, and Leicester defender John Curtis who has joined on a free transfer.Redknapp received an unexpected bonus when Nigeria striker Aiyegbeni Yakubu was sent home from the African Nations Cup for breaking a curfew.He faced missing up to six Portsmouth matches but, in fact, has had to drop out of only one.Senegal midfielder Amdy Faye made his full comeback after a month out with knee trouble in last Saturday's clash with Wolves, having pulled out of Nations Cup duty.

Redknapp's signing spree spread through most of January as he also recruited midfielder Eyal Berkovic from Manchester City, striker Ivica Mornar from Anderlecht in Belgium, borrowed Ajax defender Petri Pasanen and also brought in youngsters Richard Duffy and Seb Olszar.

Yep all those signing and we are still up # creek, Sheringham,Berger,Stone and Sherwood are allainjured.

Yep you have missed Sheringham badly,it doesn't matter about his age he is still quality.

What with wolves getting a shock win at the weekend things are starting to look bad for Pompey.

They better sort it out quick,I think the new signings that was made were good but it may be too late,there is enough time left on the other hand but it will be tight at the bottom of the table.
