Apparantly we have bid 10.5!!! but its according to the NOTW
Tottenham have launched a £10.5million bid for Argentina superstar Juan Roman Riquelme. The North Londoners have contacted Villareal in a bid to snatch the 29-year-old midfield wizard. Spurs boss Martin Jol desperately needs some inspiration in midfield and Riquelme could be precisely the type Spurs need.
It would be an astonishing capture for Tottenham who have struggled at the start of the season and would take their overall summer spending to over £50m. But although Spurs are very close to a deal with Villareal they would then have to agree terms with the Argentina man. A Tottenham source said: “It all depends on what the player decides to do as a deal with Villareal is very close to being completed.” Riquelme spent the last six months of last season on loan at Boca Juniors after falling out with Villareal boss Manuel Pellegrini.
He was instrumental in Villareal’s surge to the Champions League semi-final in 2006 when they lost to Arsenal – but his career there had been dogged by his feud with the boss. Riquelme who plays in the centre of the park or as an inside left would add much-needed nous to Spurs’ game. And the signing of one of the stars of the last World Cup would go a long way to appeasing the fans already seething after Tottenham lost their first two games in the League.
