According to Harry Redknapp, Pompey had sent off all the paperwork that had to be sent and he believed that officials at Man City had done the same but that wasn't the case. This could have something to do with Benjani not arriving at Eastlands for a medical until 11:10pm!
Peter Storrie is now talking to people at the Premier League to see if a deal can be done after the deadline and the situation is set to be resolved later today.
So it seems that Benjani and Defoe in the same team is a thought just too good to be true.
