Portsmouth clinch Traore signing

Traore won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005
Portsmouth have signed Charlton defender Djimi Traore for £1m on a two-and-a-half year contract.
Traore joined the Addicks in the summer from Liverpool for £2m, but did not cover himself in glory during his 13 games under three different managers.

The 26-year-old was sent off on his Charlton debut against West Ham and also suffered a hairline fracture to his leg in September.

The Mali international has also had spells with Lavel, Metz and Lens.

He looks set to be replaced at Charlton by Manchester City's Ben Thatcher with the clubs having agreed a fee for the left-back.

Traore was a member of Liverpool's side which famously beat AC Milan to win the Champions League in 2005 and made 160 appearances for the Reds.

He was signed by former Addicks boss Iain Dowie in August, and also played under Les Reed and Alan Pardew during a turbulent season at The Valley.

"Did not cover himself in glory"!

The Kung Fu kick on Pennant was entertaining, though.

Good luck Djimi...I'm sure Sol will sort you out if you start fecking about! :laugh:

when i first saw this i thought "well surely that means he'll have played for three clubs in one season?" which isn't allowed, as shown by the mascherano situation at the moment. i presume though that it must mean competitive games because i'm sure traore played for us in pre-season?

yeah pre season doesnt count as the season...hence the word pre

sorry, pedantic mode is on today.

preseaon meaning before the season

Does prefix mean you fix something before your fix it ? and what about preview ? does that mean you view something before you view it ?

My head hurts
