Tottenham after Tevez

"I would play him tomorrow if I could" - 'Arry

Best player in the premier league

City are strenthenning Spurs at zero cost.

It's pissing me off.

I think allot of managers in world football would say the same.

But there's a difference between a passing comment like that and there actually being any real interest.

... Wait so Tevez is going to Tottenham? :S :cyclops:

Wasn't 'Arry bitching about Tevez a week or two ago?

Can they afford him?

Edit. Apparently Tevez is on a salary around 10m Euros a year and last summer commanded a transfer price of around 40m Euros.

Lets say Spurs offload Modric, Giovani and Pavlyuchenko to make this happen. Modric commands around 35m Euros transfer and we could say Chelsea bites and takes him for 40, he is on around 4.2m Euros a year. Spurs want 12m for Giovani but will be lucky to get 7, Roman equally could go for around 8m. Lets feel generous and say both these players are on 1m a year.

Modric = 40 + 4.2
Giovani = 7 + 1
Roman = 8 + 1
= 55 + 6.2

Maybe if they get him on around 30m transfer and Tevez takes a price cut this could happen, but if Luka goes then maybe Harry would also want another midfielder. Regardless i guess this COULD happen, Spurs need to manage him correctly though.

The thing is Harry doesn't need to buy Tevez he can try to get him on loan. Him being at Spurs for half a season can push them towards the CL.

Football365 did the work for me.



Harry Redknapp on Carlos Tevez, September 29:

"It's just unbelievable. I felt sorry for Roberto Mancini to be put in that situation, it wasn't right. It wasn't right for Man City, it wasn't right for football. I
can't believe it, it shouldn't happen, it can't happen. I just wonder what City legends like Malcom Allison and Mike Summerbee would have thought of seeing a player refuse to play in a Champions League game. It is beyond belief."

Harry Redknapp on Carlos Tevez, October 22:

"I would take him if he were available for sure, warts and all. Who wouldn't? If Manchester City want to let me have him on loan and massively subsidise it, I'll take him tomorrow. Say what you like, but he's a world-class player and you can't say he doesn't work his socks off when he plays. When he gets on the field he's a right handful. It's all right people refusing to
condone his behaviour but, to be honest, I'm only interested in what he does when he plays."
