Maybe not the most prolific of midfielders, but Perdo Mendes does have something special

I'm not sure if the newspapers just search the web for previous links to players and just print them again, because we were first linked to the Pompey midfielder last year (http://www.avfcblog.com/content/view/1976/70/).
Now, I like Mendes and from the few times I've seen him I can't help but think there is something special about his game. He also sort of fits in with the Martin O'Neill plan and he's not playing week in week out at Pompey at the moment.
