Spurs are trying to hijack Arsenals signing of Julio Baptista from Sevilla. Apparently Spurs have bid more then Arsenal have for the Brazilian forward. It is up to Arsenal to increase the bid and leave it up to the player to decide which North London club he wants to join. I look forward to seeing Arsene unveil the beast at Highbury within the week.
Clearly any player who wants to play in the World Cup would not join Spurs over Champions League Arsenal.
Chelski have flexed their financial muscles again, they have splashed out £21m of the Russians dodgy money on SwP. This is good for Chelsea but bad for England. Chelsea play with two wide men and currently have Cole, Robben, SwP and Duff vying for two places. With Robben seemingly a shoe-in, and Duff’s a big favourite of Mourinho it would look as if Cole and SwP will be fighting for the scraps when Robben and Duff are injured.
So two potential England starters look like being on the bench for long periods next season. Now I don’t care about International football so am not bothered, but I am looking forward to seeing what journalists like Harry Harris have to say on the matter.
He is a patriotic English man who loves Chelsea’s English spirit I wonder what he will think about Chelsea hurting England’s chances next summer.
