Gone In The Summer

I love that word “relationship.” Covers all manner of sins, doesn’t it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship; a relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to, erm… Spurs.

We may be a small club, but we’re a great one, too. Located opposite a thriving Chick King franchise and adjacent to a lovely Sainsbury’s, David Pleat’s hair, a Surfing Hanky, StubHub, Aaron Lennon’s right eyebrow. Aaron Lennon’s left eyebrow, come to that.

And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that.”

The Express believe that Real Madrid are preparing a £20million bid for Hugo Lloris, in an attempt to land him in the forthcoming January window.

The article is a complete and utter punt. However it does obey the first rule of ‘making up transfer rumours’, in that it is actually conceivable that it could happen.

I think he’s more likely to move in the summer. Modern football is a cutthroat business. Why would he stay?

I’d suggest that winning a pot wouldn’t remotely influence Hugo; and if we did finish in the top four – which at this moment in time is as likely as Leon Brittan getting a job as a presenter on Blue Peter – our wage structure wouldn’t offer him enough.

It’ll be considerably more than £2omillion, and it might not be Los Blancos. But it there isn’t a rational argument in the world to reason why he would see out his contract with Tottenham.
