Deportivo La Coruna have targeted Tottenham forward Giovani Dos Santos to replace the departing Angel Lafita. (Spanish newspaper AS)
With the way Giovani Dos Santos has been playing for Mexico recently I’m surprised other non English clubs haven’t tried to sign him. Dos Santos needs to get out of Tottenham in the worst way.
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is lining up a January transfer swoop for Sunderland defender Anton Ferdinand.
Full story: Daily Mirror
There was talk of a swap just before the deadline between Sunderland and Tottenham involving Ferdinand. Don’t see what Sunderland would have to gain by selling a central defender in mid season however.

Aston Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker has apologised to manager Martin O’Neill following their training ground bust-up and looks to have saved his future at the Premier League club. The Sun

Former Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann has been dropped by Stuttgart after attending the Munich beer festival, Oktoberfest. Lehmann said: “The visit was part of a charity event and had been planned for a long time. However, it was not agreed with the club. Of course I accept the measures taken by the sporting management.” The Sun
Must admit kinda miss Lehmann in English football. During his final season with Arsenal it seemed like everything time you put a microphone to his face Lehmann would say something to piss someone off.
