When Gareth Bale was sold to Real Madrid in the summer there was a contingent of the Tottenham fanbase who were starting to sweat in terms of how they replace him. Instead of splashing the whole lot on one player, Andre Villas-Boas decided to spread it across a number of outlets – one of those being Roberto Soldado, who has caused mixed emotions in north London.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has denied reports that he has been offered a new contract at White Hart Lane in order to ward off interest from the Football Association.
Well, that was surely a shock to the system hearing that the one and only prodigious Eden Hazard was eager on a move to White Hart Lane.
Yet more transfer deliciousness coming your way. Not as much as before but interesting nonetheless.
As I write this, Swansea City are relishing the return of young Steven Caulker from injury. The England U-21 star suffered a knee problem back in September after colliding with a post during the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates.
The transfer window is almost upon. 31 days of countless rumours linking Spurs with a host of players. But boy do I love a good rumour. With that in mind, below are a number of movers and shakers that have already been mooted by “ITK’s” despite January still a good four days away.
Tis the season to be jolly and with Tottenham flying high in the Premiership, you would be hard pressed to find a happy Spurs fans.
