While Harry Redknapp has long been adamant about holding onto Ghanian Sulley Muntari, selling the 23 year old to Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan might be the move necessary to bring in Chelsea’s Shaun Wright-Phillips.

With capturing Jermain Defoe from Tottenham just into the new year and the summer move of Peter Crouch from Liverpool, selling Muntari for 12.7 Million Pound would be a good return on an initial 7.1 Million Pound purchase from Udinese in 2007.

With Nugent and Nigerians Kanu and Utaka already on the books at Portsmouth, selling Muntari is good business IF you can capture Wright-Phillips, long admired by Redknapp.

According to SkySports, former Nigerian International and one time LA Galaxy hopeful Celestine Babayaro is sitting in a Chelsea hospital after contracting Malaria.

The left back was trying to sort out a contract with Harry Redknapp and Portsmouth last week before being overcome after a week of physical testing and training.

After Wayne Bridge signed a new four year deal with Chelsea, Portsmouth’s focus a signing a new left back might continue with Babayaro, if he can get healthy.

UPDATE -  Harry Redknapp will be rolling around town with 1,000 more Euros today than he had yesterday after the High Court determined that the raid conducted on his home while he was away was “unlawful”.

Good for Harry, but it’s not like he needs the cash.  More about the principality!

If you show up at Harry Redknapp’s home at 6am with the media and rustle his wife out of bed when he’s out of the country, beware. You might just have legal proceedings started against yourself by way of the Administrative Court at the High Courts of Justice in London.

Don’t mess with ol ‘Arry, even if you think he’s taken part in the Bung Scandal or shoddy Transfer Deals.

For the last four days everyone in the Barclay’s Premiership has been waiting to hear what the hell went on in the transfer of Portsmouth’s Benjani to Manchester City. The truth behind the mess started with Benjani falling asleep at the airport and then the next flight being canceled and the following delayed. Yeah, this was some crazy shit and actually forced the transfer fee down, but if Benjani hits 75 starts in his Man City tenure, Portsmouth would receive a total of 7.5 million pound.

After Nicolas Anelka (a fellow transfererer)  slipped in a Joe Cole knock down off a counter attack from a no call hand ball of Claude Makalele,  Fratton Park faithful were rightfully worried.  It would be only 9 minutes later that Jermaine Defoe would start his dream debut, starting with a long ball from keeper David James, flicked on by Milan Baros and coolly slotted in the 64th minute.  While the game ended in a 1-1 result, ol’ Harry was definitely happy with his new look squad after Chelsea’s record was 47 wins in 50 games after taking the lead.

It’s done and it only took 9 million pound. Jermaine Defoe’s personal terms are in the 50,000 pound a week area and you can just imagine what Harry’s doing to celebrate after signing him for the second time in his career, the first being West Ham back in ‘99.

Manchester City have reportedly agreed to a fee with Portsmouth for the services of Zimbabwean striker Benjani Mwaruwari. So far this season Benjani has bagged 12 goals for Harry Redknapp, who has gone on record saying “Benjani couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn before this season”. While the belief of the transfer fee is around 5 million pound, Benjani is solely responsible for Zimbabwe’s training camp for African Nations Cup Qualification by paying for his country’s training/housing in France and being the 3rd countryman to play in the Premiership following the likes of Bruce Grobbelaar.

UPDATE  - Time ran out for Man City in the hopeful signing of Benjani, meaning that he will stay with Portsmouth.

Czech International and former Liverpool, Villa and current Olympic Lyon hitman Milan Baros might be on his way to Harry Redknapp’s Portsmouth. With Fred going through his Yes and No’s to transfer talk, Baros’ opportunity to move back to the Premiership might be to good to turn down.

After being arrested and released in the bung scandal, offered and turning down the Newcastle shitcapade, Pompey stepped up to the plate and gave good ol’ Arry a 3 million pound a year contract for his loyalty, doubling his current wage.

WARNING - Harry having a go and some naughty words

He always seems to be in dire need of a drink, but if Redknapp is indeed heading out to St. James Park, oh boy. Imagine him having a go ala Barton, Smith, Butt and Co.
