relámpago blanco Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Harry Redknapp quotes for you, then: "It (The Rafael van der Vaart deal) is still dragging on. We have been trying to do something but we are waiting to see if it has all gone through and we are hoping it has. It's something to do with clearance. I think he was going to Bayern Munich yesterday for £18m and suddenly he became much cheaper. They let me know around 1600 BST that he was available for £8m and for that money he is a top player who will definitely improve us. The fee has come crashing down because the deadline is so close. He's a great passer of the ball, he's a top footballer, he will join in here and be a big plus for us. We were also interested in Ryan Babel, he was a player we made an enquiry about but it never came close." I can never work out whether quotes like this from redknapp are bollocks or not.

Pilko Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 When I saw Harry Redknapp in his car at about 3pm saying "very unlikely we'll do anything, maybe a few kids out on loan" I was ready to put my life savings on him making at least one big signing.

Guest kingdawson Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 So Redknapp the only manager in England allowed to sign players after the deadline?

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Robinho & Ronaldinho in their forward line = magical one game, invisible the next. As well as Pato and Ibrahimovic ... that can not end well for them really can it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 from the ego/workrate perspective only man, can you imagine Ibra being benched so Robinho could play or vice versa? then presumably Pato will fall down the pecking order a bit and he'll get pissed off, and so clearly they should score a lot of goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did his ankle ligaments here at Hsv and that is a bad one for a midfielder. Played about 70 games in a 120 in 3 years here. Hasn't been quite the same since and couldn't get into Pellegrini's Real side most of 2009. Still a good midfielder but for me has lost that wow factor he had a few years ago. Needs others to work for him in midfield. Still a great passer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fee coming down from £18m to £8m because of the transfer window? I don't think so. I wonder if there's a medical problem which caused Bayern to pull out, and which is holding up the decision with Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit silly of Dirty Harry to come out with a misleading story. He'd be better off saying nothing. I'd agree that it's a puzzle that he wanted another midfield player in. That's an area of strength for Spurs, I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
