Brazilian Signs!

We got it completely wrong! (sorry about that).

Gilberto da Silva has signed for us. The left-wingback, who can also operate as a left winger, has signed for an undisclosed fee. The player has signed a three and a half year deal and is a fine addition to the squad, although he may miss out against Manchester United this Saturday with an anckle knock.

We're finally building up our left side!

Centre-Back Leaves Spurs

Anthony Gardner has followed Routledge and Stalteri out the White Hart Lane door, joining Everton in a loan deal till the end of the season.

The tall centre-back's move is also linked to a permanent deal, which could see him joining Everton next season for around £2.5 million.

More info as we get it.

Defoe's exit still not 100% confirmed.

Right-Back Leaves

Paul Stalteri has joined Fulham in a loan deal till the end of the season with a view to a permanent deal.

Defoe has just had his medical at Portsmouth with a view to completing his £9.75 million deal.

Gilberto da Silva is back in Berlin, so I think we can rule him out for this season, although we may sign him on a free for the 2008/2009 season.
