Rafa To Sign Lambert, Butler, Benson And The Boy Hedges
_S-20-H_Canada.jpg)
Spurs fans went into meltdown as our transfer window seemingly had a brick thrown through it today.
The morning started off alright. What the Met Office might describe as dull with wet patches. Everybody hanging about, twitching at the net curtains, waiting to see if a Bentley was pulling up outside. The wet patches largely due to the Spanish organ Marca running an unsubstantiated allegation that we had bought someone called Luis Garcia from Espanyol.
Then, just as the cutting and pasting of this article across Europe reached fever pitch... All hell broke loose. Those who were previously over the moon were suddenly as sick as parrots. Three hundred and twenty seven versions of the headline, 'Rafa Keane On Robbie' wizzzed across the www.
Fortunately, the boy Harold happened to slip into a pair of Untwistable Knickers™ before breakfasting extensively this morning and is able to provide a translation of this afternoon's angst.
Rafa: "We know Villa is a very good player, we know the price and we know the players we have, so when you consider everything we decided he was one of the names, but at this moment, not our target. "
Translation:"Valencia have laughed us off."
Rafa:"Keane is one of the other names and okay we are still working with other names. We were in contact and we will see
now."
Translated: I still have a fag packet with some names on in my car-coat pocket. Either way, I am happy with 20 Players."
I'm not going to get bogged down in the supposed 'legalities' of what some chubby chinned castanet carrying car-coated Barry has done. But I will point out the obvious. This smacks of desperation.
If Levy had said, " That sounds great, Rafa. Let me just check with our cash office that nine million in cash, nine on a Mastercard and two in Giros is agreeable." this statement would have never have gone out.
These are the words of a man whistling in the dark. Bob may well wish to fulfil his childhood dream and shout 'Dalglish!' as he scores in front of the Kop. Benitez may well want to ship him in. But those two ambitions are approximately twenty million quid apart form each other.
BIOYC!

well put Harold!!!
Keep those hub cap stealing, theiving scouser sombrero wearing, shell suited, giro collecting barry's away from our number 1 striker.
It would be a serious blow if he were to leave.
They are having trouble offloading Xabi Alonso........ Swap?
rip their hands off for 20 mill as long as sergio or luiz or any sort of garcia is not his replacement
Come on lads, I love Keano as much as anyone but could you really in all honesty turn down the club you supported as a boy in favour of being "loyal" and staying at the Lane? I personally could as I love Tottenham but you have to look at it from a professional and a personal point of view. I love Robbie Keane, I would take 1 Robbie Keane over 10 Berbatovs but if playing for Liverpool is his dream, who are we to deny him that? He's given us 6 wonderfull years at Spurs and I pray he stays for another 6 but at the end of the day, if he comes out and says he really has his heart set on a move to Liverpool, we should not stand in his way and take £20m odd from Liverpool and use it to invest in a decent defensive midfielder ie; Veloso. We already have Tomas Pekhart sitting there ready to jump in and be our new top scorer and who knows, maybe letting our talisman leave would turn out to be a blessing? We've seen it happen before ie at the scum when Henry left and Scabregas took his place, he became the world class player everyone knew he was and it has made his career and made him arguably move valuble than Henry was
I cant believe u so called spurs fans are even considering lettin Keano leave. Whats wrong with you wankers?
"I'd take £20mill"
You TURD!
I don't believe either Keane or Beratov are off.
Likewise, I don't know who is coming in - no one even heard about Modric until he was actually signed; There seems to be an enormous amount of press speculation with very little actually happening...
spot on Harry. I assume Rafa thinks that if he unsettles the player publicly then he will get him on the cheap. Not sure why he would think this as it seems to me that Villa added a few million to Barry's price as Rafa pissed them off.
ben brooks if you new wat i no about the red thin face liverpool players.And i told robbies wife he wouldent be going to liverpool apart from getting his house robbed when hes away playing like gerrard has . I no for the past 3 seasons that they have been breaking the ferdinand fuck off when the testers come calling law and if the spanish cheat signes robbie i will be writing to the sun with what i found out.

Rafa - JTIYC.
So what does this Garcia chap do that Juande would like him in his squad because he is not a prolific goal scorer or in the Spain squad. He certaintly does not sound a worthy replacemnet for Keano, but I have a sneaky feeling the Keane transfer will go ahead if the cash is availble. Keane has not come out saying anyhting to put it to bed.
