Mate...you know...Harry wants what's best for Harry...until another offer comes...

Yes but this should not come as a revelation to anyone. Most of us knew this when he joined us and it doesn't necessarily mean that he is a bad manager.

 

[Leeds Spur]

Green is toss. bricks his pants every time the ball comes into the box. Schmeichel is the future.

 

[Leeds Spur]

Yes but this should not come as a revelation to anyone. Most of us knew this when he joined us and it doesn't necessarily mean that he is a bad manager.

No it means he's a ****. Now he can go and fudge himself if he thinks he can dictate terms to us. He was nothing before us and he'll be fudge all afterwards.

 

[milo]

No it means he's a ****. Now he can go and fudge himself if he thinks he can dictate terms to us. He was nothing before us and he'll be fudge all afterwards.

But yet he is the most successful manager we have had in the modern game. I know that he is only out for himself but I am not convinced that someone else coming in could keep us challenging for a top four position.

 

[Leeds Spur]

I don't care. We weren't brick before him under Jol. He hasn't worked miracles contrary to what he have us believe and this year other teams really fudged up, Chelsea, Scum, Liverpool an even the likes of villa and we didn't get the 3rd place. We fudged it up. No doubt about it and I'll never forgive droopy for it. And into the bargain we wouldn't have rentagob as a manager. He turns my stomach. Wish he'd been sent down where he belongs in prison. Remember. OJ Simpson was found not guilty. Doesn't mean brick to me. The way he treated our great club he can go fudge himself. Spurs NOT Redknapp.

 

[GLENROYID]

I've got a cheeky bit of ITK for you...

Walcott to spurs, you heard it here first.

 

[edgey-the-yid]

As long as we sign Dempsey too.

Doubtful the lad wants CL football... He wont leave Fulham for less. Can see the Gooners getting him

 

[thfcsteff]

I will avoid turning this into another Harry thread!!!!!!!!

He's probably just about to draw a **** on it. Gooner ****.

West Ham are also hoping to announce the signings of Kenwyne Jones & Kieran Richardson

Footballer in 'beeing a greedy ****' shocker

"I have had five seasons at Manchester United and have won all the titles," Nani said. "Now I am really happy but I don't know about my future. Now I will study opportunities. Football is not only about England or Spain. It is possible to enjoy success in other countries. My agent is waiting on news about United. We have presented a counter-offer and now we are waiting on an offer from the club."

League dynasty at Tottenham.

Boss Redknapp has held contract talks with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy this week, with senior players fearing he could leave.

Redknapp, 65, has only one year left on his deal but remains committed to the club despite the heartache of missing out on the Champions League even though he led the team to fourth place this season.

In spite of heart surgery in February and a gruelling court case he wants to continue his job of transforming Spurs into regular Champions League contenders.

Redknapp is 65. Three more years would take him to 68 when he may decide to call it a day, having insisted when he took over that this would be his last job in football.

Levy and Redknapp also discussed their plans for the transfer market this summer with a new defender on the radar after Ledley King was told yesterday he is free to leave the club.

While Ajax’s Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen is likely to join, Tottenham have pulled the plug on a ?ú2.9million deal for Brazil defender Bruno Uvini.

The Londoners took the 20-year-old on loan from Sao Paulo in February.

A fee to turn that into a permanent stay was agreed at the time but Spurs have now decided not to take up the option.

Redknapp may also soon be after a new keeper, with QPR sniffing around Brazilian Heurelho Gomes.

The manager’s future is the priority for now though, with several key players concerned that Redknapp’s deal has whittled down to just one year and that the boss could leave unless Spurs prove he is their man for the job in the long term

[P.D.]

Not good news if Utd and Chelsea are both after Dembele. Ends their interest in Modric if they got him but I want him alongside Modric.

 

[markysimmo]

It amuses me that CFC are buying all these players when they dont even have a manager, lets hope the new guy they get wants these players...
