Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has pledged to wheel and deal his way to success this season after admitting there is nothing left in the Fratton Park coffers to bolster his squad.
Redknapp has spent around £15million bringing Peter Crouch and Younes Kaboul to the south coast club this summer, but has lost the likes of Pedro Mendes and Sulley Muntari in a bid to balance the books.

bring an end to Chelsea's dominance at the Bridge.
Chelsea's second Portuguese era will be well

Premier League to find its most potent strike force.

FanCast columnist Terry
Saunders
wonders if Sunderland's raid on Spurs could have the same desired effect it had
on his beloved Portsmouth back in 2006.
I'm not sure there are many more superlatives that I

surely it.
