just a footnote to that....he is telling porkies...oh & dont be at all surprised if levy goes over harry & goes for hulk after all...Eek

Mr. Redknapp telling a little lie, never!! :razz:

I'll be honest haven't seen much of the green fella but it would be worth signing him purely for the headlines and to get his name on a shirt.

I know the bale to inter has been poo pooed, but i have just seen this from Football italia 9via news now

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Inter director Marco Branca reveals “Tottenham want more than £40m for Gareth Bale. We like him, but the price is not compatible.”
[/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]This week The Guardian splashed the headline that the Nerazzurri had offered £40m to take Welsh wizard Bale in the summer.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“The day before that story came out, I received a text message from the President of Tottenham telling me the figures were lower than his real price-tag,” explained Branca during today’s Press conference.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“Tottenham want more than £40m for Bale so he is certainly a player that we like and are monitoring, but the price is not compatible with our club policy.”[/FONT]

is he suggesting would sell him, bale, if the price is right?

Levy should get someone in whether Harry likes it or not, Harry is paid to manage.

Levy once ordered either Ramos or Jol can't remember which one it was to play Lennon in a match and Lennon played a blinder and Levy made an inspired decision, Harry should be given a striker and be told to get on with it

because managers loves to play players they don't believe in...

c'mon people, get some grip

He can do what he likes off the field. But if he's wearing a Spurs shirt and banging in goals, i'd be happy!

Woodgate was convicted of an incident which was worse than anything Carroll has done and didn't Woody smash up a McDonalds once too ? so even though Woody has an unsavoury past he was worth getting, Carroll is the same

Its more of a case if, if you got offered 70 million for Gareth Bale, would you take it?

Not sure they would say no to that kind of money!

Those Italian types always come out with rubbish, like the Palermo chairman saying we've signed Cavani and Kjaer and we hadn't even been in contact with them. In hindsight, Cavani would've been great.

I would deal at £70m in a heartbeat tbh, would be stupid turning down that sort of money

I really think HULK would dominate in England, but there's been no real links to him at all other than a single Daily Mail story.

It is the continental system, the DOF chooses who to buy and the coach gets on and coaches them, Levy is currently DOF

The system that got u nowhere since the time of pleat, arnesan and commoli? We dumped the system and got into the CL

This must be a load of balls though....if its true we are already thinking about selling him soon...which would be disgusting.

I'm sure every chairman has a price for every player, doesn't mean we would actually sell at that price though.

Even if we don't get 4th I will be very surprised if we lose any of the big trio (Modders, Bale, VdV) next season.

it's not about the system, even in system with DOF the clubs should not buy players the head coach does not want

The gulf in class between Benzema and Carroll is absolutely enormous. It was very clear for all to see in the recent France-England game where Benzema had England's defence in knots while Carroll was just a big lump.


Gomes, dawson, king, benny, lennon, modric, hudd, bale, pav.....

Our best players??????

Harry has bought, kaboul, khumalo, sandro, palacios, pienaar, crouch, defoe, kranky, chimbonda....

Gallas was free & vdv was bought for him...

He likes loans & mid range players, he doesn't have a big club mentality

Agree. Redknapp has managed Comolli's squad well but his additions haven't taken us on.


Haha.. So take out VdV (Levy signing), take out Sandro and Khumalo (signings from partnership clubs) and your left with fourteen Harry signings, and surprise surprise, everyone of them bought from an English club.

Redknapp's famed MOTD scouting.


Sometimes it's better the devil you know rather than the devil you don't and we do have a great squad, an absolutely brilliant squad.

Except our 4 excuses for forwards have scored a total of 6 goals in the last 9 months.


Huddlestone is gonna b out for the majority of the season. I can see us panic buying and signing Diarra and Benzema in a double deal.

Diarra and Benzema would be a genius signing, certainly not a panic one.


Levy should get someone in whether Harry likes it or not, Harry is paid to manage.

Levy once ordered either Ramos or Jol can't remember which one it was to play Lennon in a match and Lennon played a blinder and Levy made an inspired decision, Harry should be given a striker and be told to get on with it

Agree - Levy needs to take charge this window, and then have a new DoF (someone like Valdano, Begiristain, Baldini etc) in place long before the summer window opens.

fair point and i fully understand that....however why does it always seem to be that we continue to miss out on targets...we need a striker, Harry has confirmed this but we are 6 windows into needing 1....I'l donate to SC if Chelsea dont secure a striker in this window or the next!...Liverpool managed it, on a diff scale Brum managed it, west ham also!
Not picking on you mate :grin: but...

Have a look at who they signed.

Actually I'll include Chelsea because so far, they've drawn a blank this window.

Liverpool have paid double their initial bid to sign a partner for Torres...
Suarez is a good Tevez type player but Spurs felt he wasn't what we neeed, and he wasn't. He is not a traget man, more preferring to come in off the right flank and tuck in. We have Lennon in that role doing ok.

Birmingham. Come on!! They need fire power just to remian static and they do not dine at our table - indeed Keane denied being offered a deal in order to decline it. That says a lot about the quality of striker that Birmingham are pursuing.

West Ham have signed a crock. Signed - not loaned. He failed a medical at Stoke. Again Demba Ba? I doubt he was on Harry's C List of desparate last minute Rasiak type deals.

Spurs will have a specific type of player and profile of personality that they want to embellish our current squad. Cash will be spent when and if that player is made available to us.
