Craig Bellamy, Joe Cole and Michael Carrick all heading for Tottenham this summer?
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on May 7, 2010 | 15 Comments
Tottenham clinched that all important 4th spot (and they might even finish 3rd) on Wednesday night and already some big names are being linked with summer moves to White Hart Lane.
Harry Redknapp is likely to have some cash to splash when the transfer window opens on July the 1st and if you believe what you read in the papers, he already has a few players in mind.
Craig Bellamy, a player whom Redknapp nearly signed last season, is one name being linked with a move to Tottenham. The 30-year old has had a magnificent season for Manchester City but there is talk that his relationship with manager Roberto Mancini is frayed beyond repair.
Chelsea’s Joe Cole is also understood to be attracting interest from Tottenham with Spurs apparently prepared to offer Cole the £120,000 a week contract the midfielder has demanded at Stamford Bridge. Cole, 28, has had a frustrating season at Chelsea and many, including myself, think he will be on his way out of the club but whether or not it is in fact Tottenham he joins is the question. Cole has worked with Redknapp in the past during their time at West Ham and maybe now that Tottenham have qualified for the Champions League, the England international may be lured back into Harry’s arms.
A former Tottenham player, Michal Carrick is another name being linked with a possible move to the north London club. The Manchester United midfielder left the club back in 2006 and has since gone on to win three Premier League title at Old Trafford. The 28-year old has come in for some criticism from the United faithful this season and it comes as no surprise to me to see his name linked with a move away from the club.
Personally, I could see the Craig Bellamy and Joe Cole deals possibly happening. However, I don’t see why Redknapp would move for Carrick considering the fact he has several better and younger midfield players already at the club. The next few months are bound to be intruiging for all you Spurs fans and we want to know what you to say on these and all the other rumours surrounding the club.

I hope not, bellamy will not fit in with our style, carrick a MU reject who could not wait to leave us – remember what has happened with Keano, it will happen with him as well and cole has shown at Chelski he is injry pron – we have enough long term sick … no thanks 2 any of them

There was a time when Spurs needed Carrick and he showed his loyalty by deserting Spurs for Man.U.Now Spurs have filled the position where Carrick used to play and they have no need of him.Thwere should be no place in the Spurs’ side for Carrick.He has shown what sort of person he is.Who knows?Perhaps,after 1/2 a season he will want out again.The same applies to Robbie Keane.There is no place at WHL for either of them and 90% of all Spurs fans feel the same way as I do.

Of all these i think Cole is the only player Spurs will try and get as the others go against Daniel Levys player plan for the club.I like the talk of Yaya Toure being linked with the club but again not sure if we would go for him.A player we might by is Diawara who used to play for portsmouth now at Madrid but as these are all rumours then who knows.

i dont want to see Carrick and Keane at the Lane next season – they didn’t believe in Tottenham and they should just fook off. The irony is especially stark for Keane, whose non-involvement has seen Spurs qualiify for the Champs League, dislodging Liverpool – his so-called childhood club. Now, will he claim his newest childhood club is (finally) Tottenham?

Carrick no thanks, did not wany to stay at Spurs originally, so can rot where he is.

Peter4Spurs I couldn’t disagree more, although I think the bloke is an animal and would be concerned about this discipline he is very quick, he could play up front with Defoe, Bale & Lennon on the wings, that would be a scary, scary line up for defences, soo much pace all over and skill, would love to see if happen so long as he keeps his head!

You can have Bellamy with pleasure, he’ll certainly get everyone wound up alright, but for the wrong reasons!
His dodgy knees will fit in a treat as well.

I don’t know why anyone would want Carrick as he simply seems to have lost all interest. A return to his Tyne roots with Newcastle or Sunderland might be appropriate, though. If ‘Arry wants to bring in ex-Hammers, I’d expect him to go for Rio on the cheap as the gaffer might well want to jettison his astronomical wages and his strong character would help Spurs’ defence to be more consistent. Bellamy is definitely a nutter, but he’ll definitely create space and time for Pav and Crouch.

I feel wonderful. mostly because the champions league place will make our key players stay. I have a feeling that Levy is gonna be brilliant this summer.In fact I don’t really want to see carrick and berba at the lane because our current players are just better. We should go for Scott parker and dzeko. Parker will be a very good squad member and help us deal with tight schedule. Dzeko is a star striker in bundesliga but has to prove that he ‘s got what it take in premiere league. and with harry help, he will adapt fine. However, whoever we buy this summer, in Harry, we trust!!!.

carrick – no way, bellamy -could be useful, cole – injury prone. Far better for Harry to concentrate on strengthening the back four.

I really wouldn’t mind if Arry doesn’t buy anyone and show faith in the current batch. Its been a long time where I am proud of the whole squad…players who are mostly proud to wear the Spurs jersey. They’ve worked hard as a team and they deserve to try and show that MONEY cannot beat HEART and SOUL.
I salute the players of this campaign. Thank you Thank you…for making the fans’ so happy.

oh yeah…. keane and carrick can fook off.
May 8th, 2010 @ 6:36 AM
It seems many ex spurs player are linked and to be brought back. We have brought kaboul, defoe and keano back… maybe carrick, berbatov, zokora, and tainio should also be brough back… WAIT …!!! Martin Jol.. he signed those players.. Bring him back tooo…
do you know that SPURS has big chance of playing AJAX Amsterdam coached by the big MJ himself, in the qualifying CL round…? nice to see MJ back in park lane again…

Ollie, Hate Tottenham or dislike Tottenham?
Why so? An honest club with a longstanding history in the top flight and a great FA Cup record. Not the most fashionable but a club of Integrity who try to play with flare and imagination and do not regularly poach players to ensure they stay top unlike Man Utd who do it all the time! It’s about time they had some good luck after so many years of poor refereeing descisions costing them points (e.g Mendez wonder goal v Man Utd not counted due to blind linesman and cheating GK Carol!)
I dislike Man Utd or should I say Old Trafford Utd, as Man City are the true Club of Manchester!
