I do know that some Spurs fans won't like that, but to me if he can produce the goods, and make Spurs a better one, then l am all for it BUT is it true, Spurs have a tradition of not telling anyone about transfers, until they are done.

I heard they were after Fabiona as well,

That tradition ended as soon as you hired Harry Redknapp. The man has verbal diarrhoea.

Not quite sure I can say good luck to him what with it being Spurs

Still, good player. Shame we couldn't do a deal with him, I imagine Spurs are offering more money or a longer contract since those were the sticking points for Arsenal. I was hoping we would sign him in addition to the other defender we are linked too in order to provide some cover.

Apparently wrong on both counts. It's only a 1 year deal and a lot less than what he was on. But it's a London club which suits him.

Intresting. He was demanding two year contract at Arsenal. Maybe season is coming out or he can be first team player?

Sorry, Typed that on my phone. I was wondering why he has now accepted less pay and a 1 year contract. Maybe the face the season is coming up or he wants more first team football.

I think having his bluff called by Wenger was chastening and now it's clear he isn't going to have that many offers. Maybe he thought some of the lower clubs with looser budgets may sign him as a flagship player. Or maybe he thought that we stand a good chance at playing in the CL and finishing 4th and so that turned his head.

I don't remember him being linked with anyone until Redknapp came along.

In the last two weeks, two different England Internationals have used high court injunctions to block details of their personal lives being released:

Makes me wonder who they are...

I think they both play at Chelsea myself.

Careful we don't get ourselves in trouble here

It's more bad news for the England team though, so much of this nonsense.

I'm sure that invariably Gerrard's name will come up.

I find it a bit odd that there's a gagging order and reporting restrictions but the press know that the two cases are footballers?

Unless the reporters were in court for the case and saw them.

Some reports give details accounts of the 2nd player, that he 'played for many top clubs' and is on around £100,000 a week. So that narrows it quite a bit!
