Portsmouth rival Spurs for Dunne?

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on June 1st, 2008

If reports are to be believed and Spurs are interested in signing Manchester City defender Richard Dunne, then they now have competition from Portsmouth to sign the Irishman.

Harry Redknapp told BBC Radio Five Live: “I like Dunne. He’s a top player and I think there’s a couple of clubs in for him at the moment. But I think we’ve got as good a chance as anyone now.”

He added: “We’ve got in the Uefa Cup for next year and we’ve got some good players so hopefully we can start to compete with the Tottenhams and the Villas and teams like that,”

It seems a strange move by Redknapp as they have Sylvain Distin and Sol Campbell already at the heart of their defence, so why move for Dunne?

The only thing I can think of is that he wants to improve his squad, but he’s already got Hermann Hreidarsson, Linvoy Primus and of course Noe Pamarot who can cover at centre-half. So who knows what’s going on.

Spurs for life

“Being a Spurs fan as a boy and a player for so many years, it would be hard to sign for Arsenal. I don’t think the fans here would ever forgive me.”

Words from non-other than Sol Campbell. Perhaps someone should have reminded him of saying that before complaining of ‘verbal abuse’ from “some people may be a little bit disgruntled at how I left certain clubs.”

I do agree that ‘verbal abuse’ towards Campbell at matches should only go so far, however, if he expects Spurs fans to be silenced, then I totally disagree. After all, this is the man that once said that his ‘heart and soul’ was at Spurs.

I doubt Sol Campbell will ever realise the magnitude of his deception in the months leading up to his transfer to Arsenal, but for Spurs fans, we will always remember our former club captain as ‘Judas’.
