Couldn't have put it better meself...cheers alfie!

Where are these ridiculous comments the man u mob come out with coming from .

[NADTATIDA1]

Ok sorry for being unclear....NO BIG CLUBS..made any offers(enquiries is different ) for him,that is why he snatched your hand off and took the 6 year contract because he understood that no BIG CLUBS wanted him...He thinks like the spurs supporters he is already at a big club.

Do you know this for a fact or just guessing .

Yes fact,remember you are a selling club if we for instance put in a firm bid,he would have walked to Manchester

Nad, Sir Fergie has been tapping him up for months. You know, the way he does whenever he 's looking at buying a player. But why would he necessarily want to join Man Utd?

We are a selling club when you offer us silly money like 50m for Carrick/Berbatov and who would'nt be. Your club has long since drifted away from bringing home grown talent threw the ranks and you the reputation of your manager, spending money you don't have to tap up and buy players.

Fact is, Modric likes the Tottenham set up, likes London and Manchester is a dump where it always rains

No new faces appearing yet......Harry must be waiting to cherry pick the best of the World Cup talent.....

Erm??......So which striker are we buying carmine?

Out of choice i'd like the Porto striker Falcao.

I will not accept the rumours that persist that rednapp wants the 31 year old premier Forlan and will pay 21m. As they say, rumours are just rumours, but that one is divisive and scary!!

I think the quality of player brought in will offer a glimse as to the level of Levy's ambitions for the club.

I love the idea of a swap dea with Villa involving Aagbongal...whats his name and the midfield talisman Jenas! It sounds that good it can't be true!

Redknapp fears Cole deal done

Spurs boss thinks midfielder may go to Old Trafford

Cole: Could move to United

// A bit of a hack but it works // The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is empty if( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) { $("div#article-sub").remove(); }Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp believes Manchester United may have already struck a deal for Joe Cole.

The 28-year-old will not have his Chelsea contract renewed this summer and a number of clubs have been chasing his signature.

Redknapp has confirmed that he would love to see the midfielder move to Spurs, while Arsenal and United are also thought to be trailing the England international.

But while Redknapp wants Cole at White Hart Lane, he thinks the Red Devils may have already won the race to sign him.

"I've got a feeling that it might have been done (for Cole to join United)," he said.

"It wouldn't surprise me in the least. Joe's not wanted to speak to anybody and his people have been saying 'let's get the World Cup out of the way first'.

"But we'd be interested for sure. I like Joe."

Cole has been the subject of much debate in recent days as he has yet to make an appearance for England in this summer's World Cup.

Former Three Lions captain John Terry questioned why Cole was not in the team in a press conference at the weekend, and has since apologised to manager Fabio Capello.

Underworld arry should keep quiet about this....he is going to the Arse all the Thai visa possy say!!!

I don't know what Rednapp is up to here. He's had more to say about Joe Cole's future destination than the players agent has. Personally i don't understand why he's even passing comment If Cole does'nt want to join us, that's it

[smokie36]

Keep 'em guessing 'arry!! Last week the Arse this week he's off oop north. Who knows? Let's wait and see its up to the player to decide this one I doubt there will be much difference in wages etc offered.

[alfieconn]

It seems that Ari fancies Forlan regardless of his age and especially at the right price, at least he cant play no worst than he did at Utd .

[alfieconn]

How can that old crook Ari be touted for the England job, with that sort of clout there's no saying what sort of fiddles he will get up too plus theres his past to take into consideration .

Best to leave him where he is i think .

Here's an interesting thought.

If 'Arry did get the nod for the England job, theres a manager with a great pedegree who might be looking to go back to club football with a "big" club.

On a slightly more serious note, i really like what i'm hearing about the Kjaer/Cavani swoop at Palermo. With Sandro already onboard these would represent sensible quality signings.

Manager with a pedigree - you mean Ramos? 

If you do sign those two and cole, when will you hold the fire sale. We are looking for bargains at the moment.

I think you will get Cole which would be great for Utd. He would fit in very well.

Actually, i'm looking forward to seeing Hargreaves back. England desperately missed him and i hope he recovers the form of two years ago.

But listen James, as i've said before, you can have Modric for 30m "quid" but has to be cash up front and don't give the envelope to 'Arry.

As we are skint, we will give you Carrick, Berbatov and Gibson for Modric but hurry, teams are lining up with similar offers for these 3 world beaters.

For those three my friend you get...........................................................Crouchie

No one has proclaimed anything have they, so let's put an end to that line of attack right now shall we? Heavens sake, we could be about to lose our manager, loyal 'Arry, before the seasons even started!

One thing i will say is that our squad is very strong and IF we make these two signings we have for once a very strong, balanced squad. I'm on record as saying that 'Arry has taken us as far as he can and i stand by that. I don't care if he goes, but i do worry about Levy fcuken up the appointment of a replacement.

You can have Crouch, Keane, Jenas, Hutton and even Pav?Modric for the right price. None or your players thanks, just cash.

[bkkjames]

Never thought I would say this out loud, but I miss the West Ham supporters on TV . Where has Singer gone?

Nerves a tad raw James?

£90m in the bank mate.....dream on you suckers.....bankruptcy approaching and a geriatric midfield......Rooney well out of sorts......bring it on..... !

Chomping at the bit to get on the Tottenham thread i have no doubt.

But you see, you must'nt confuse our "looking forward" to another premier season with false optimism. Right now, i'm most concerned with who who we draw in the CL qualifiers.

I know Utd fans think they have a divine right to atleast reach the CL semis but i realistically feel CL qualification for the season after next should be the priority first.

Off to do some shopping....let the flames begin.
