One down, three to go

The lads yesterday confirmed the signing of the 1st of the Tottenham four, 28 year old midfielder Teemu Tainio.

Pascal Chimbonda is widely expected to complete the formalities today and we look forward to this being confirmed. Indications also are that Younes Kaboul (whose agent has just survived an earthquake) will be on his way to us by the weekend. Fingers crossed there.

Unfortunately, short of any more earthquakes in southern england, we are not now expecting Steed Malbranque to join us.
