Sorry I didn't respond to this post earlier.

Wanted to find out exactly what was going on.

There 2 stories being talked about as to why the Benjani deal is up in the air.

1. Benjani failed his medical. Apparently he has problems with his knees.
2. Benjani doesn't want to go to City. Apparently he missed 2 flights before showing up at City training grounds to get his physical done.

I feel a lil bad for Pompey because they made the Defoe deal because they were told the City deal was complete. So either City messed up or the EPL for not notifying Pompey about the deal not being done.

Another lesson that can be learned is. Don't spend until you know how much you have in the bank. Pompey can possibly be out 9 million (the cost of Defoe) because of this error.
