Tottenham's shock late transfer moves

In a shocking deadline-day twist Tottenham made two late undisclosed bids for Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Carrick. Daniel Levy, through a mouth full of linguini, muttered they were not trying to recreate the team that suffered through pasta-gate. Late moves for Anthony Gardner and Steed Malbranque were mooted but not made in time and may be relived in the summer.
Asked whether it mattered that Tottenham seemed to be moving backward rather than forwards, Levy snapped "We're spending money aren't we?!" David Bentley and Luka Modric have been marginalised and Redknapp is hoping for a line up of: Gomes;Chimbonda;King;Dawson;Assou-Ekoto;Lennon;Jenas;Zokora;Bale;Keane;Defoe. Club sources are said to be heartbroken, and frankly surprised, that Blackburn wouldn't part with Paul Robinson.
Martin Jol has refused to comment on speculation linking him with the job, only muttering under his breath "we should have had the chilli" over and over.

This time last year, Harry Redknapp was working out a deal to sign Jermain Defoe at Portsmouth.
This this time this year, Harry Redknapp has worked out a deal to sign Jermain Defoe from Portsmouth.
One of them sulks to the media when he doesn’t get his way, doesn’t turn up to training, follows the money and goes back to a club he left in rancorous circumstances. The other is Jermain Defoe.
After going to the press on numerous occasions, putting pressure on his erstwhile colleague Tony Adams, Harry Redknapp has brought back to Tottenham the same player that left a year ago, but for nearly double the fee.
After the shoddy way both have treated Adams, Portsmouth and clubs before, they deserve each other.
