We have been linked with over 100 players this transfer window, I have heard so many “done deals” that never materialized.
Honestly, I think the journalists are clueless about our transfer targets, they are speculating on many players as possible so that when we sign one, they can point us back to their news article.
Given most of us are playing “Have we signed anybody yet?” game, let us enjoy the speculations even if they are ridiculous as Pepe as to Chelsea.
Skysports understands that we are competing with Arsenal for Scott Dann. I never knew Arsenal could compete with us for players. We win trophies and we pay the highest salary in England; Dann will be silly to turn us down. Our club is yet to place an official bid for Dann. For now, it is just speculation from a highly regarded news source.
Harry Redknapp has slammed our bid for Modric. ‘Arry said:
“It’s a farcical bid.”
“If they’re going to make an offer, make an offer, but £22million for Luka Modric is ridiculous.”
Modric is ‘such a fantastic player, we don’t want to sell him. He’s up there with the very, very best players in the Premier League and I think he can play in any team in the world, he’s that good.’
I believe what ‘Arry is simply telling us to make him an offer for Modric he can’t refuse, he is only adding “we don’t want to sell him” phrase to avoid the wrath of Spurs fans. I believe that is why ‘Arry keeps talking about our Modric bid, he wants to delve into the transfer market but Spurs are not keen on providing him the funds.
‘Arry might have to sell Modric to make some purchases this summer, expect many more Modric to Chelsea stories this window.
Have a Blue Day!
