Kevin-Prince Boateng has joined Portsmouth for a fee believed to be £4million.
The German midfielder joined us 2 years ago for a reported fee of £5.4million from Hertha Berlin, and has managed just 14 appearances for the club in that period.
Harry Redknapp has also confirmed that midfielder Jamie O’ Hara has been permitted to follow Boateng to Portsmouth on loan until christmas. Redknapp has admitted that O’ Hara is a ‘triffic’ player, but he needs matches and is currently unable to break into the starting line-up at Spurs. [click to continue reading…]
Doncaster have been dumped out of the Carling Cup by the Spurs second string in tonight’s second round meeting. Whereas we were not expecting anything other than a victory this evening, it is still a pleasure to see the boys who are not in the premier league starting eleven play so convincingly.
Huddlestone opened the scoring after just 9 minutes with O’ Hara adding another just two minutes later. In the 37th minute Crouchie grabbed his first for the club with a header from inside the 6-yard box, getting on the end of a cross from Bentley.
Sitting pretty at 3-0 up at the break, so ‘Arry’s half-time talk must’ve been pretty easy; more of the same please lads!
Just 7 minutes into the second period and Bentley made it 4 before a handball from Kevin-Prince Boateng gave Doncaster a consolation penalty, duly despatched by Martin Woods. Something for the home fans to cheer at least.
In the 69th minute Pavlyuchenko made it 5-1. A great result, and a great to see the boys waiting in the wings get a run-out. With the squad certainly not lacking in quality there is a fight for starting places, and therefore there was all to play for during tonight’s encounter. Looks as though Redknapp has plenty of options……..
