The latest transfer gossip involving Tottenham revolves around the possibility for us taking Carlos Tevez off Manchester City’s hands in a deal worth £20 Million.

I will say this now and am absolutely certain that I am 100% correct, Harry Redknapp would never sanction such a deal.

Why am I so confident? Because of what Harry himself has said about Tevez,

“He is a great player, but I can’t condone what happened yesterday. It was unbelievable.”

“I felt sorry for Roberto Mancini to be put in that situation. It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t right,” said Redknapp.

“It wasn’t right for Man City and was not right for football. I can’t believe it. It shouldn’t happen and can’t happen.

“When you look at that, you wonder what Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison would have thought of it and all the great Man City people. The great players like Summerbee, Bell, Lee.

“To see a player do that, refuse to come on and play in a Champions League game is beyond belief.”

Asked what he would do in that situation, Redknapp said: “I don’t know what you can do now, he holds all the aces.

“He gets his wages every week and eventually, if you want to give him away, someone will give him a fortune because it’s cheap or there is no doubting he is a great player.

“It’s a problem that only Man City can deal with now.”

And if that isn’t enough what about this one,

“We couldn’t afford him, no chance.”

OK, one could argue that if Man City take £20 Million and Tevez lowers his wage demands that Harry would reconsider, absolutely no chance of that either, it is not just about the money.

Redknapp would never take a player that is so disruptive, that refuses to play, that sulks non stop and who would create tension within the dressing room.

Tevez may be a great player and I am sure he would benefit us, but only when HE wanted to, not when we would need him to and therein lies the difference, Tottenham is a team and not a platform for one man to grandstand.
