I do not want to replace Chimbonda with Hutton. Hutton has played well for both club and country, but I think we can do better deals for less money, to be honest.

If we sign him - Ok - give him a chance, but he is not my first choice at all.

Few thoughts...

1. Perhaps Zokora is now considered a potential CB? For my money, he's more suited there than in CM.

2. Gunter can play either LB or RB.

3. Can Hutton (Cristophe?) play anywhere other than RB?

4. I have a sneaky feeling Lee may be off.

5. Likewise, I have little doubt that Stalteri doesn't feature in the gaffer's plans.

6. Is anyone actually still interested in Chimbonda? I'd bite anyone's hand off for that supposed £10m. Although, as per Marty, it could be that he's going to shift across to CM..? (I hope not)

As far as I'm aware he's a RB and nothing else. He isn't good enough defensively to play CB. His game is very much about attack, much like Alves at Sevilla.

In these circumstances unless someone releases an official statement it's all speculation

I think he is more solid than Chimbonda, we wont see him try and play his way out of trouble when eh is on the edge of his six yard box, but the flip side of that is that sometimes he migth clear his lines whereas Chimbonda could start a counter attack. Plus PC is lethal from set pieces.

I do wonder why we are buying him when we have Chimbonda, Staltieri, Ifil and a couple of players that can fill in, but maybe Ramos wants to get rid of a few of them.

16 mill on Bent, 8 on Hutton, still no fecking left footed winger!


Mmmmm... really??

Quickest rumour ever. Bid accepted and player rejects within about half an hour. These transfer windows are getting more efficient every year.

That was the third option I was on about - reminds me of a Mr parker of a few years ago.

Well if this is true, it would seem to me that Rangers knew he would reject the offer. They accepted to set the lowest amount for someone like United.

Sky Sports still running the story that we're close to agreeing a fee, or have agreed a fee. No sign of him rejecting yet.

Radio Scotland saying he's rejected it, right? :-(

seriously. shouldn't we be asking the player secretly if he wants to come before making a bid?. saves us the embarassment.

If he is that kind of guy - who rejects us also. Ok - Let's move on. We can do better anyway! We want a player, who is comitted to this Club. We want to build a good side for the future, and we want to progress here. We only need players, who are proud to be at a Club like Tottenham Hotspur FC. Spurs is a big name in the market, and there are a lot of players wanting to play for us. Why pick players that do not want to join us...? Let's concentrate to do some great signings now.
