£6m Sandro set to join

I'll be honest, when I first heard we were into Sandro my first reaction was one of surprise. OK, so arguably Wilson's had a small a dip in form and Huddlestone's started to look a bit shaky... but that's if your being picky.

So what does he offer? I heard he was more of a defensive midfielder, so offers much needed cover and the depth that we currently lack in the defensive areas of midfield. Although, somehow I can't see this boy sitting on the bench for a whole season.

Sky Sports reports that Levy's willing to spend a fairly modest £6m. No big pressure price tag, I like that. Although a few potential faults may scupper Sandro's move to London. The 20 year old Brazilian may struggle to aquire a work permit due to not completing a certain amount of games for Brazil and is also owned by a third-party which is apparently 'common' in Brazil. Inter are confident the deal will go ahead.

A good signing? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Regards.

Could it be third time lucky for Spurs?

Internacional midfield and reported 'wonder kid' Sandro is wanted by Redknapp. This is official. What seemed to be usual paper talk now seems to actually be fact. Minus our young prodigy of Aaron Lennon flying down that right hand side every week, Spurs have always seemed to struggle to acquire a 'wonder kid' that has fully benefited the first team. Most end up being overrated, under played and then shipped out to another club before the end of the season. Giovani and Adel seemed to flourish out on loan at Ipswich and QPR respectively. Typical, isn't it.

So how much do we know about this 20 year-old Brazilian? I don't know about many of you, but Brazilian football is not my expertise. Surprising, I know.
Although, the fact that we have a strong midfield, are unbeaten this season and yet Harry is reportedly willing to spend another £14m on another midfielder does illustrate one thing. This guy has got to be good. IMO anyway.

Do you know anything about the player? More importantly, how would he fit in to our midfield? This a midfield, for the first time in bleedin' ages, that is winning games consistently and playing very well as a unit.

This would be the third Brazilian outfield player to join us, the other two in Defendi and Gilberto were, in one word, shit. Let's hope this would be third time lucky for Spurs.

Regards.
