columnist Amro Hassan begins his search of the top African
talent, plying their trade in Europe's top League - today's focus is Portsmouth
midfielder Sulley Ali Muntari.
If there is one thing you can guarantee about Harry Redknapp,
is that he certainly has an eye for a player. He is one of the few managers in

playing a big part in their heroics this season - one player who has made a
huge impact this campaign is Ghanaian international Sulley Ali Muntari.

FanCast columnist Jim McKendry is delighted that Harry Redknapp has finally
got his hands on some silverware.
If there was a man in football more deserving of a cup final
success than Harry Redknapp, then I haven't met them. One of the games great characters,
a dying breed in the modern era, has seen one of the rollercoaster seasons of
his life end in triumph and I generally hope that is not the last we see of him
in the game.
Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey thinks that Harry Redknapp is due a trophy and is glad
that the wheeler dealer has come out and stated that he will not be retiring
after Saturday's FA Cup final, as some sections of the press would have us

After guiding Pompey to their highest finish in the Premier
League, manager Harry Redknapp should have been given the keys to the city for
a remarkable achievement. However, victory on Saturday would cement his place
in the clubs history books.
