No, Gullit said on TV that Jamie Redknapp phoned to ask if we should go for VDV when he was offered to us for £8m........Gullit looked as if he thought he was crazy even to ask the question...............Gullit told him to get VDV signed asap as he was a fantastic player.

Thank you!! someone else heard it.. i posted this the other day and got grief from other posters saying he was doing his homework blah blah. gulliet looked astonished whilst saying it. Harry didnt know what vdv was about if you ask me.

Akqa,what do you mean when you say..........Were not not a feeder club anymore and teams like RM will feed us, and it has to be them.

Where is the money coming from and RM means Real Madrid?

I read it as he knows that

1) something big is happening
2) we are on good terms with Real

He's then guessing that the big thing has to be related to Real.

I'm putting Benzema in the same category as Villa, Aguero, etc...

Couldn't even imagine it

I wouldn't put big and Diarra together, I'd assume "Fucking Massive" would be someone like a Benzema or a Kaka type if its from Real Madrid.

I guess it means that we're happy to take Real's unwanted players, players they're trying to sell for whatever reason and they're happy to sell them to us...

Peanut:

DL wanted Suarez but couldn't buy a player the manager didn't want. Fabiano, Forlan, Dzeko, J Cole, Bellamy - how are they all doing at the moment?

Harry has spent most of the summer pushing for players on insane wages when if we'd gone for Vucinic earlier he could be a Spurs player by now.

Anyway, still time for a rabbit out of the hat and I've no idea what the latest is on Vucinic.

To be fair I would still take Dzeko in a heartbeat over Vucinic. He would be exactly what we need if given the regular start he needs, now he's had time to acclimatise.

None of those players Redknapp wanted were bad players, they were all decent players but two or three of them just weren't a good fit for the model this club needs to adhere to.

Mr Pink said:
I trust Peanut, one of the best ITK in my mind no doubt.

This is what I've suspected for over a week now...we obviously made progress and then back tracked and I totally suspected that was because of Harry not being confident enough over Vucinic...I seriously think Harry struggles to judge foreign players...

I dont mean that as criticism but I guess its just my frustration coming through...again a lack of decisiveness could well cost us.

I definitely think Redknapp is reluctant to gamble. He generally likes sure things. No problem with this if your Chelsea or ManU, what he has to understand is that we aren't, and we have to box a little bit cleverer at times.

bomberH said:
Does he mean these are all players Harry wanted but Levy didn't? If so, i think that's a shit point. For instance, anyone in their right mind would've bought Dzeko at the time and Forlan was on fire too. Just because they've had a disappointing year or so since, doesn't mean they wouldn't have been great for us. Let's not buy Rossi then, in case he's shit. Or have i misread it and is he saying Harry was right for not buying them (though the post seems to be slightly anti Harry so prob not).

And i don't understand the insane wages bit either. Levy would say to Harry we can't afford the wages of these players, and that would be the end of it. So if the ITK was true, then it would appear to be Levy's fault for carrying out pointless requests instead of telling Harry to look for someone else. But Peanut's post insinuates it's Harry's fault. Can't blame Harry for wanting the best players. Can't blame Levy for saying we can't afford them, especially with the OS going tits up.

I need a poo.

I agree, all those players are decent players, a few of whom I'd like to have seen here at one time or another, including now.

The problem Bomber, is we get this very public goading and stance taking by Redknapp. He publicly states how the chairman needs to show ambition and talks about players like Adebayor and Rossi who he knows will cost vast amounts and/or come with wages outside our comfort zone. This is so if he fails to get the best out of the squad he has, like he did last year, he can presumably turn round and say "not my fault guvna, the chairman didn't buy the players I wanted" or re-use his favourite "I can only work with the shit I've got" spiel.

hybridsoldier said:
It was never Harry's call on Suarez, the scouts he sent all said that Suarez was a number 10 who dropped deep or could play wide left (where he may play this season for Liverpool). Harry wanted a CF to score goals. Scouts badly let him down on that one.

I'm sorry, but this is really, really lame.

Forgetting the fact that anyone who has watched Suarez, which Redknapp has, would know that as a striker he would have been an upgrade on Defoe, Keane and Pav in one go. How could Redknapp want to sign Bellamy and then say Suarez wasn't right ? Suarez is just a much better version of Bellamy.

The second thing is his willingness to blame the "scout" for us not signing Suarez. This isn't some unknown playing in a minor european league FFS. He went all the way to the semi finals of the WC, played in the CL and for Ajax a club 45 min away on a plane and on telly every week.
