what about Emre these days?

 

He joined Fenerbache me thinks.

 

Not yet. Been put on hold.

 

Thought it was a done deal. As long as I don't see him here again, I don't give a toss.

Unfortunately not, he's still ours to deal with.

 

Cannot wait until the waste of space is gone for good.

Van der Vaart rubbishes Tottenham link

 

 

Holland midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has rubbished speculation linking him with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

 

 

The Hamburg playmaker is a reported target for several clubs across Europe after an impressive season in the Bundesliga and at Euro 2008, but insists he is likely to remain at the HSV-Arena for the coming campaign.

 

 

Van der Vaart told Dutch weekly Sportweek: 'The interest has been there for some time already, but they (Tottenham) are not the club I want to go to. Tottenham are not a club I want to swap Hamburg for.

'The chance that I will stay at HSV is really big. As long as no team comes by which makes me immediately excited, I see no reason to leave. And so far none of those clubs have called us.'

Pompey are giving a trial to former Chelsea and Newcastle defender Celestine Babayaro, as the player was the one surprise face as the bulk of the squad reported back for the first day of pre-season training.

 

Left back Babayaro is a Nigeria international, although he has retired from the international game, even though he is only 29. Babayaro, who is a free agent and has been invited by Harry Redknapp to train with the squad for a week.

Strange club. They buy some undeniably proven quality players like Muntari, Defoe and probably Crouch, and at the same time they buy the likes of Glen Little and give trials to Babayaro.

Is Djimi Traore still there? They've got some real horrendous players amongst the quality.

Tribunal decide that Spurs should pay Palace £700k rising to £1.25m for John Bostock.  Jordan's not happy, he wanted £2m rising to £4.5m

 

‘For a tribunal to reward a purportedly bigger football club in Tottenham to take one of the most gifted young English players in the country for a sum of £700,000 is nothing short of scandalous,’ said Jordan, who sent manager Neil Warnock and chief executive Phil Alexander to the meeting at Ar5ena1’s Emirates Stadium.

 

‘You get players like Aaron Ramsey, who has gone for £5m from Cardiff to Ar5ena1 because that is the UK transfer market.

 

‘The tribunal, in my view, are supposed to reflect the conditions of the transfer market place. And they came up with a figure of £700,000 for a player who has captained his

country at Under 17 level, who is perceived to be one of the best youngsters in the country and is being chased by Barcelona, Ar5ena1, Manchester United and Chelsea.

 

‘We had a £900,000 offer from Chelsea when he was 14 which we turned down. It’s beyond me and it makes me question why I bother with football.

 

‘I have an academy who have produced a world-class footballer for someone else and got paid two-and-sixpence for it. We weren’t unrealistic - we didn’t try to be clever and

put a value of £5m on the player.

 

'We simply said this is what the player is worth, these are the reasons why he is worth it and all we wanted was a fair and equitable outcome.’

 

In the wake of England’s failure to qualify for Euro 2008, Jordan questioned the wisdom of tribunals allowing elite clubs to poach young talent for knockdown fees only to put them in their reserves.

 

He said: ‘We have a national team who can’t qualify for the European Championship and we have a shortage of players of the required standard to compete in world football.

 

'One of the reasons the Premier League is the best in the world is because it is made up of 50 per cent foreigners. So when big clubs buy our own younger players and don’t

use them, how the hell does that benefit the national game?

 

‘I don’t feel it sends out a good message to people who pump millions into youth development. A significant amount of money we could have got from the disposal of

John Bostock would have been ploughed back into youth development.

 

'And what’s going to happen to our young players when they are stockpiled in the butter mountains of the Tottenhams and Chelseas of

this world?’

 

Bostock became the youngest player to pull on a Palace shirt when he made his first-team debut against Watford at 15 years 287 days last October.

 

And Jordan insisted the player’s future would have been better served if he had continued his development in Palace’s first team rather than opting for a place in Tottenham’s reserves.

 

‘The most disappointing thing is we had a player we nourished and cherished for nine years,’ he said.

 

‘He’s a player who cited his desire to be the youngest ever to play for Palace, which he achieved, and to be the youngest captain of Palace.

 

‘He was looked after for a long time with bespoke training specifically for his development. It was John Bostock’s year next season at Palace and we weren’t going to sign central midfielders because we wanted to clear a path for him.

 

‘He’d have got into our team this year and established himself as a first-team player at a big club. I’m not so sure that’s going to happen for him now.'

Very good point. It is more important sometimes for these players to get first team football at less fashionable clubs.

He may look like a prick, but i have a f time for Simon Jordan. He speaks his mind and calls a spade a spade. He makes a number of good points in that article. I just hope the same doesn't happen when our youth academy is "World Class"  :rolleyes:
