Tottenham New-Boy Sandro Left At The Airport After Champions League Cock-Up
By Chris Wright
“I’m leaving on a jet plane…”
According to this morning’s Daily Mail, Tottenham’ were forced to leave their elusive summer signing Sandro in the departures lounge at Stansted Airport after a breakdown in communications meant that the Brazilian wasn’t aware that he hadn’t made the cut for the club’s Champions League squad.
New teammate and unofficial translator Wilson Palacios had apparently instructed Sandro to make his way to the private terminal at Stansted where Spurs were convening before flying out to Germany for their game with Werder Bremen.
However, upon his arrival, a bemused Harry Redknapp had to explain to the former Internacional midfielder that he hadn’t been included in Spurs’ ‘A’ squad and that he was to stay behind to participate in a closed-doors friendly on Wednesday night.
Poor old Wilson, he just can’t get anything right at the moment.

If he is 21 or under, he does’nt need to be registered……..
Nightmare. I’m sure he’s glad he came.
This is absolute bollocks from the mail. This was announced ages ago via the official website. Redknapp wants to get Sandro up to speed in the premier league before playing him in the champions league. Yes he is under 21, but he is NOT in the squad.
Sandro needs to be training with the squad ASAP to get the feel of things. We need to see how he he fits into the team.
Hmm, I didn’t know they spoke Portuguese in Honduras…
