Well, hello! We're favourites to sign(?) http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/footbal...r-close-in-on-tottenham-youngster_234251.html If we were to get him, how many more defenders do you think we'd need?
Wikipedia says he's a RB who converted from midfield. Better than getting another midfielder but we need a CB.
Well at least we can console ourselves that he was mugged when Taarabt came. And went. Peanuts first time and no sell on fee. Double whammy.
The common denominator is Harold Redknapp. Got done like a kipper by Warnock into selling Taarabt to us for a fraction of his market value. But then we had him in charge when it came to buying Sandro. As we all know, player values never came in the way of a deal to be had. It's one of those things he knows nothing about and leaves to others.
