Spurs make late bid for Phil Neville?

Re: Football Chat Thread : Mon Jan 31, 2011 8:45 pm  

"We were never desperate"

The words of a crazy man. Harry Redknapp has lost what little dignity he had tonight. Despite five £35m bids for strikers well out of their league they were never desperate. No, not at all.

Spurs would get Neville IMO in a straight swap for Krancjar. Moyes has long been an admirer of his and Spurs turned down a bid for him recently.

Spurs would rather let him rot in the reserves though as money is no object to them.

Luiz hasn't flown over, Benfica not allowing him to fly apparently.

We have been rinsed with the Carroll signing, by at least £10m, but that's what happens when your desperate and clubs know you've got a large wedge in the bank.

And therein lies the post of the day so far. So litle but oh so acurate. Liverpool were desperate, have paid over the odds, but at the end of the day, they got their man.

It makes a change Liverpool been the big spenders in Jan when a few months ago before the takeover the rumours were Torres was off to give Gillett & Hicks something in their sky rocket.

El Hadj Diouf to Glasgow Rangers. Oh dear.

Indeed, no such club...

Rangers sign El Hadji Diouf from Blackburn.... oh dear, hope he plays against Celtic this weekend so the fans can gain revenge for him spitting at one of them years back.

Cardiff striker Jay Bothroyd on Twitter: "I'm not leaving, I'm staying for the fans!! They deserve Premier League football and I wanna help provide that. I'm happy at Cardiff."

So where is he off to then?

Maybe so, but yet still perfectly viable to state.
