Amdy Faye's transfer forms part of the police probe into corruption in football, it is claimed - but not his transfer to Charlton. So there is no risk of Peter Varney being led away from the Valley in handcuffs.
The Times reports, 'attention is likely to focus on the move of Amdy Faye from Fratton Park to Newcastle for £2 million in January 2005. Redknapp signed the Senegal midfield player from Auxerre in summer 2003 after playing him under an assumed name in a friendly, and he was hailed as a new Patrick Vieira as he proved a capable ball-winner during the club’s maiden Premiership season. However, he was allowed to leave after Redknapp’s departure, but he failed to live up to his early reputation after his move to the North East. He subsequently joined Charlton Athletic.'
If anyone did describe him as the new Patrick Viera, there may be grounds for an investigation into fraudulent misrepresentation.

Describing Faye as the new Vieira is about as corrupt as one can get. Off with 'Arry's head....
Personally I think his play is very similar to Viera's. Bert Viera that is.
