Tottenham thread

Chelski backlash or a chance to bolster top four ambitions?

Whaddya reckon?

Eventfull game for Gomes - pretty much summed him up!! Some good stops, but really should have done better with Drogba's shot (though I thought I saw a handball in there, maybe?). At least he redeemed himself with the pen save...

All in all though, a fair result that we can't be too disappointed with but a chance missed to close up on the top 4. Time to look forward to the CL draw this week!!

. . . Tottenham Hotspur are ready to step up their pursuit of Newcastle United star Andy Carroll with a �15 million bid as it appears increasingly likely the striker could be sold in January.

Goal.com UK understands Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is ready to offer out-of-favour players Robbie Keane and David Bentley in the deal as he looks to add firepower to his forward line.

The 21-year-old is seen by Tottenham as their most attainable target in the new year, and Newcastle owner Mike Ashley appears prepared to cash in on his hottest talent despite public statements that Carroll is not for sale.

Newcastle are likely to hold out for a deal worth �20m, and new Toon boss Alan Pardew has been made aware that such a deal would be hard to turn down for the cash-strapped club. . . .[/quote]

[quote]. . . .Redknapp feels Carroll would be a low-risk signing as he has proven his ability to score goals in the Premier League and he is not cup-tied in the Champions League, meaning he would be able to play in the club's last 16 clash with AC Milan in February and March.

Chairman Daniel Levy is also prepared to sanction a move as the Gateshead-born forward is unlikely to lose resale value, although he remains wary after Darren Bent and David Bentley both failed at White Hart Lane following big money moves.

Redknapp has been told he needs to trim his squad before he can buy, with Keane, Bentley and Giovani dos Santos almost certain to leave in January. . . .
