Insane Spurs Rumor Vol. MCMLVII - David Villa
At first I wasn’t going to post anything about this, but I can’t get it out of my mind. Over the last two days, with Thiago Neves and Andrei Arshavin being linked with White Hart Lane, I’ve joked that every player with a pulse has been said to be talking about a move towards Tottenham. Then a couple of minutes ago I started reading reports of David Villa moving from Valencia to Spurs.
This is getting insane! The most insane part, though: One of these moves will happen.
Right now, players are using Spurs as a stepping stone to a true first tier club. Perhaps Spurs will break into the top four this season and be considered an elite team next season, but right now they’re not. Clubs and agent are using the interest and rumors they’re generating to renegotiate deals or create an urgency with the clubs they really want to move to. But at some point, after the player market starts thinning out, Spurs will become frustrated by their failings and completely overspend for some name, any elite name that will lend credibility to all these pursuits. It might be Arshavin. It might be Neves, or it might be Villa. But I have a feeling it will be somebody.
Until that point comes in two or three weeks, we will have to deal with the insanity of a new star, each day, being linked to Spurs.
Fun.
Quotes
“Many clubs have contacted me to ask about the chances of a player who is guaranteed to score goals in England. I am convinced that if Spurs were to present an offer to Valencia, they will study the subject.” - Jose Luis Tamargo, representative of David Villa
