If they bid 30m and alex plus drogba we may have caved in
So the £40 million offer was never actually made.
It was £30+ a player who Harry or Levy
might not have wanted and who may or not be worth £10 million.
Just getting the facts straight.
A straight £40 million might have done it.
We learned the hard way with Berbatov that having the money in the bank is no substitute for having a world class player in the squad. These types of player tend to only find their way to Spurs every few years and all the money in the world may not tempt a ready-made replacement to us. Just look at the way Diarra would rather spend his time on the Real Madrid bench then come to Tottenham.
