to be far I should have added some [sic] as I was trying to transcribe whilst he was talking just tried to catch the main points. He said alot more but IMO what I typed was the main points of the interview

Here's the actual transcript:


"Ahh yeaaah top top player, would love to ave im ere, great lad, running, passing, the lot, two feet, big, big lad. No idea where we are on it though, can it happen? Ooh I don't know, very complex, complicated, dunno, players these days, contracts, agents, it's a nightmare you know, an absolute nightmare. Wages, chairman, heading. What was the question?"

He did say that he wanted him(or was it he should be fit) to play against City and Hearts. The interesting point was when the loud "jock" asked him about the LM fee we wanted and HR replied that it seems that figure has been reached?

I think it was more Jim White said "So should Chelsea put up or shut up?"
And Redknapp said "they're certainly capable of putting up"

Might be my mind going mad but think I heard him say (or imply) the offers no longer derisory and are very good offers.

I must have missed that?!? He said the offers werent dirsory ofers but at no point did I hear him say they had offered what we value you him at. Most of the modric chat was fairly postive in that Harry expects him here after the window closes by the sound of it.

Prob should move this to the Modric thread though...:oops:

If Harry thinks he can get two or three good players with the money already offered for Modric (30m), then I imagine that his and Levy's versions of a good offer are very different. Levy has the final word.

anyone else find it strange that there was no official team news posted on the site yesterday or even today?


generally id say no, our site is very very poorley kept upto date - for example berba was still on the site after he left so was keane - and various other mistakes and lack of site updates in general.

Wish Harry would just shut his fucking mouth sometimes, causing more problems than he's helping.

Not one triffic in there. Clearly not Redknapp.

Well if the reported £10m for Diarra is done, then thats 1/3 of the good players with a 1/3 of the money. It's possible.

We do have an interest in Gary Cahill... the price reported in the media is higher than what we'd actually have to pay by all accounts! We're also interested in the Twente CB Douglas if that doesn't come off. Never heard of him personally, not sure if he even played against us last year? But we definitely want a new CB, which I think we knew already...

Heard anything about the Tasci interest, which the Journo has said is pretty much a done deal?
