There Is Only One Sinnacle

New Tottenham signing Giovani Dos Santos, 19, has revealed he turned down Man United, Chelsea and Ajax to sign at White Hart Lane from Barcelona. “I also had good offers [from them], but I loved Juande Ramos’ ideas. I am going to do great things with the Spurs,” he said. (Setanta Sports, 1110)

Once he does great things for Spurs he is then going to want a transfer to a bigger team. Dos Santos should walk around the streets of London with a shirt saying that getting playing time for Tottenham is just a stepping stone for bigger and better things. He’ll spend two years at Tottenham, three tops.

Barcelona are being linked with a loan move for Chelsea’s unwanted striker Andriy Shevchenko, a deal which could suit both parties. The Spanish club would not have to pay a transfer fee and while the Londoners could remove the Ukrainian’s wages from their books. (El Mundo Deportivo, 1140)

A Shevchenko, Henry partnership would be a dream pairing in 2004.

Kaka? Ribery? little too no chance. Robinho however Chelsea can convince Real Madrid to sell. I wonder if Robinho is going to come out and say. “If you want me to play like Raul, pay me like Raul.”

Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill has told Gareth Barry he can have his dream move to Liverpool – but that the Anfield club will have to splash out £18m to land the midfielder. (The Sun)

At this point Christmas points will not be exchanged between the two.

Perfect Arsenal target. Talented yet a year or two away from fulfilling his promise so Arsenal can then sign him at a lower fee before all the other big clubs come calling.
