Spurs to offer Bentley, Jenas and Keane in swap deal for Villa star Young
Published 23:00 29/07/10 By James Nursey
Harry Redknapp is willing to give Aston Villa up to three Spurs stars in a bid to finally get Ashley Young.
Tottenham boss Redknapp tried unsuccessfully to lure Villa’s wing wizard Young, 25, last summer. Villa fended off interest from the London club by handing Young a pay-rise increasing his salary to £65,000-a-week.
But Redknapp remains a huge admirer of the former PFA young player of the year.
Villa’s £30million price tag on the winger means Tottenham cannot afford him despite qualifying for the Champions League.
But Redknapp knows Villa boss Martin O’Neill rates Robbie Keane, David Bentley and Jermaine Jenas.
All three stars were marginalised at White Hart Lane last season by Redknapp as Spurs finished fourth in the Premier League.
And Redknapp is willing to sanction an exchange involving any of the trio for Young, who cost Villa £9.65m from Watford in January 2007.
Redknapp and O’Neill have already discussed Villa signing Republic of Ireland ace Keane.
Jenas, meanwhile, started Spurs’ friendly against Villarreal last night, but was taken off injured after 17 minutes.
And Redknapp knows only a mouth-watering offer for ex-Watford trainee Young will get the Villa star.
But Villa need to sell-to-buy and could be tempted to do business to revamp their squad if Young asks to quit. Young, who would jump at a return to London, could ask to leave to put pressure on Villa to finally do business with Tottenham. Redknapp also wants to sign Villa defender Curtis Davies and Man City stopper Micah Richards to bolster his defence.
Has James Nursey been reading 'The Goat'?
Also in The Mirror...........
Queens Park Rangers have joined Coventry in the race to sign striker Marlon King, who was released from prison on Thursday after serving nine months for sexual assault.
Surprised not to see Arsenal linked, given the amount of (alleged) nonces, rapists and other assorted perverts they've previously had on their books.....
And in The Sun......
Five thousand unsold 24-carat gold limited edition Frank Lampard signature iPods are to be melted down and rebranded into ones featuring cartoon character Hello Kitty.
Lampard iPods? What the iFuck were they thinking?
That's all folks! We'll be back on Monday morning with a round -up of the weekends events........ITK willing.

Dumb was what clinched it. Wibble.Still havent managed to get into the round up. Must remember to be more witty\out there\annoying or just plain dumb!
Wibble!
bomber gave us some ITK
Which provoked Fazzabayern in for Ozil
The jury is out on wether it's PMT or ITK stress syndrome. Read the fucking round-up Fazza and we might avoid another Groundhog Day.For those that keep saying "Bayern in for Ozil", can you post some evidence of this one please, news story or whatever :shrug:
Then some ITK! From Brownhead.........
Plenty to digest there then. The Bellamy loan part made me laugh...'will happen if agreed'....and presumably it won't if it isn't agreed?brownhead said:...Targets pretty much same as my update 56
Richards - Fee was agreed, Personal Terms agreed, was booked in for medical, only for City to pull the plug, saying dont want to sell anymore. He wants to come still, they more than likely will sell but are playing silly buggers.
Upson - (will try and sign if Richards doesnt go through eventually) Enquired and were quoted 8m, keen to sell, he will also wants to come.
Cole - Agreed in principal with Arsenal,excepted terms etc, then did exactly that to us and told us he was coming, then did exactly the same with Liverpool, had time to think, made a final decision on us, but then liverpool offered more money and surprise suprise he went there.
Young - Enquired, they will sell at right price, not sure of this price, he wants to come. This is part of the snowball/dominoe effect waiting to happen with Milner and City. Villa def want Keane and Jenas so been told this deal should happen one way or another.
Cardozo - Still our number one choice. Enquirys/Negotations will be starting from weekend.
Gilardino - Nothing at all happening anymore, wants to finish career over there
There are the targets, but was told that things happen change constantly along with arry's fibs, player makeweights, clubs smokescreens etc etc
Parker - All was told was no bid, but he is rated and enquiry made with Upson
Suarez - Been touted about to clubs, including us. Silly money quoted tho, dont be suprised to see him end up at Anfield is what i was told.
Bellamy - Is a loan option only and will happen if agreed, but again City playing silly buggers
Fabiano - Not happening
Ozil - Would be interested and enquiry made, again dont be suprised to see him at Man United is what i was told
Naughton, Bellamy, O'hara - will all be sold, actively trying
Forgot to ask about Dzeko!! and that Croatian loan GK
However just a hunch but i got the feeling that my source wasnt being totally 100% with me when it came to Suarez and Ozil.
Right here it is, this is what i was told, just passing on.. I couldnt understand how we have our targets and 2nd choices but then are after other players too!!! So dont ask why. And i also cant believe i get told this much, so can understand peeps thinking the same. Just passing on as a fortunate fellow yid.
Dont slag me please, in good faith, just passing on. If you dont like me or think its BS then dont read my posts. Simples

Over on FTL, Glennspurs made it two appearances in two days on here when he gave as an update on Parker. And mentioned Carlton Cole.
And that was about it.Glennspurs said:Date: 29th July
Site: FTL
SP Update. As in some papers he wants to talk to us, transfer request looming Not even heard Upson mentioned CC wont happen that is definate we were interested as i said before but it was to be part of O'Hara going the other way which is not happening due to his back injury. Obviously Sullivan doesnt want to sell but Parker is interested and has requested to speak to us. ...
