Barbara sticks with Pato & boots Tevez
It seemed like the transfer saga that would never end.

With Tottenham's search for a defender well-documented, it seems Harry Redknapp has met his match in the most ironic of circumstances.
Fresh from his insightful analysis of Santos and Brazil midfielder Ganso, where he claimed to have never heard of the young star, his knowledge of Samba footballers seems to have redeemed itself.
However, it is the signature of Blackburn and
Congo defender Christopher Samba that has now stirred his imagination.
The burly stopper has long been linked with moves away from Ewood Park
after forging a hugely successful career so far in the Premier League.
But despite there being no question of his ability in bolstering the Lilywhite's rearguard, or his name, he maybe doesn't have the guile or flair of his fellow contemporaries as such ...
