Spurs saviour might not spend wisely in January

In a move that questions Harry Redknapp’s reputation as a transfer guru, Tony Adams has revealed that Portsmouth turned down Geovanni at the start of last season. The six-goal Hull star would have been a freebie, but instead they splashed out £13 million on David Nugent and John Utaka, who have scored a combined five league goals.

Adams said:

“He looked good, scored a goal and was available but I think it was felt at the time we had enough in (that) position.”
