"ssn : Spurs have appealed to the premier league and have been granted an extension to 1am regarding the transfer of portugal internation Joao Moutinho"

did you make that up?

The negotiations were complicated by Sporting Lisbon, the club that sold Moutinho to Porto for €10m in 2010, being owed 25 per cent of any future sale profits and a third-party investor owning 15 per cent of the player's economic rights. The deal went to the very last moment, with Tottenham hoping top be granted additional time to complete it but, having felt close on Friday morning, they could not reach agreement with Porto.

Thats a paragraph from the Guardian on line page the front page of the Newspaper reads '' Dempsey and Lloris sign but club are forced to apply for special dispensation for Porto's Mountinho''.
