DIDIER ZOKORA IS £10M POMPEY TARGET
Tony Adams ready to launch shock January bid for Spurs ace
TONY ADAMS is ready to make a £10million raid for Tottenham midfield man Didier Zokora.
The Portsmouth boss sees the Ivory Coast star as the ideal replacement for Real Madrid-bound Lassana Diarra.
Spurs chief Harry Redknapp will be a reluctant seller as he has been impressed by the former St Etienne ace, who joined Tottenham for £8.2m in 2006.
But Redknapp may do business as he could use the £10m fee to strengthen his squad in other areas.
A Fratton Park insider said: "Tony has let it be known that he wants Zokora and he'll be ringing his old boss Harry in a bid to try and thrash out a deal."
Meanwhile, Spurs fans have urged the board to help cut out the "absolutely abysmal" treatment they have received following the team in Europe.
Peasants
Shareholders at last week's annual meeting were shocked to hear how supporters had been clubbed by police for stepping out of the single file that led to one turnstile in their last UEFA Cup trip to Nijmegen in Holland.
Club secretary John Alexander insists FA security advisors are aware and these issues will be taken up with UEFA.
At various stages this season, fans have been unable to buy programmes or soft drinks and have struggled to get inside grounds.
One disgruntled season-ticket holder said: "We are treated like peasants abroad. We pay good money to be treated as fodder wherever we go."

10 million for Zokora! Ha Ha Haaaa! He is one of the worst midfielders I have ever watched, and he's a cheat. Sid you are 101% correct, this is a warning to Spurs and, and, and, No I can't say his name I'm reaching too much...... PUP

I feel that this is brinkmanship from Pompey, a way of saying leave our players alone and we will leave your players alone (although why Pompey think that Zokora would want to leave Spurs and join them is beyond me)
