Why Cristiano Ronaldo-Rated Gareth Bale Can’t Quit Spurs For Real Madrid
Gareth Bale is like Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of value, says Spurs’ Harry Redknapp. Now Live Soccer TV explains why this thought will only deny Bale from making a move to Real Madrid or any top team soon.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Gareth Bale arguably tops the list of football’s new sensations. His hat-trick against Internazionale in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League captured the eyes of the public and his services are now the envy of many coaches around Europe. A few days ago, Gareth Bale put teams on the alert by expressing his desire to try out new challenges in his career.“You never know... if a great opportunity arises, you need to consider it seriously.” This is what the rising star told sports newspaper AS on Monday.
Although he is young, Gareth Bale is growing into a very important figure at White Hart Lane. He is a player that Tottenham Hotspur cannot afford to lose as Coach Harry Redknapp explained in details while speaking to ESPN Soccernet:
Real Madrid vs Tottenham Hotspur: Harry’s Spot On, But Spurs Aren’t
Live Soccer TV explained it already. Real Madrid vs Tottenham Hotspur doesn’t put Spurs as underdogs or Real Madrid as favourites – and Harry Redknapp supports this opinion.
When you have players such as Modric, Aaron Lennon and ex-Real Madrid star Rafael van der Vaart in your team, would it make sense to entertain too much fear ahead of any big game? This group of names have contributed in making Tottenham Hotspur what they are now: potential UEFA Champions League semi-final spot hunters in their first ever tournament appearance. But there is much more job left out there just as much as the possibility of receiving a slap in the face by Spanish giants Real Madrid on Tuesday night exists. The wisest thing for Tottenham Hotspur to do, perhaps, is to concentrate on their potentialities and their needs.

After making a giant-killing of Milan, it’s a possibility that Spurs will face mighty Barcelona in the Last 8 of the UEFA Champions League. But should the debutants really fear this prospect?
There’s something interesting about Barcelona’s record against London sides. They never seem to have it that easy; and when they do, they don’t do it without controversy.
It would then be interesting to see the Catalans clash with yet another team from London – this time, with Tottenham Hotspurs. See this piece: Barcelona-Arsenal Controversy: London Sides, Barca’s Weakness (With Highlights)
Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League Success Is Surely No Fluke

Tottenham Hotspur And Their Italian Miracles
Harry knows how to do it against Italian teams. At least, that’s what he’s proven so far. The story of his success against Serie A’s top two giants started with Gareth Bale’s famous hat-trick at the San Siro against Internazionale. On that night, which occurred during the group stages of the UEFA Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur didn’t take a single point from the game.
However, they left Inter’s ground having found a treasure: an elixir to keep them alive in Europe’s biggest club tournament where they appear as inexperienced soldiers engaging in thrilling battles. As of now, Coach Harry Redknapp can be satisfied about Tottenham Hotspur’s UEFA Champions League campaign.

However, Gianfranco Zola believes that the Italian giants will successfully overturn their defeat as he told La Gazzetta dello Sport:“Milan have every chance of going through.

Milan-Spurs: Gattuso’s Violent Clashes With Jordan - Videos
Gattuso’s bad side went public against Tottenham Hotspur at the San Siro on Tuesday. The AC Milan player stained the game with a disgraceful violent behaviour which UEFA are looking to punish.
Tuesday night’s Champions League clash between debutants Spurs and AC Milan was an eventful one. Peter Crouch scored an 80th minute winner thanks to some great work done by Aaron Lennon as Harry Redknapp’s side took a giant step forward to qualify for the quarter-finals.
The game’s ill-tempered atmosphere commenced when Flamini executed a terrifying tackle on Corluka for which he sustained a 55th minute red card. But the ugliest scenes at the San Siro featured Gennaro Gattuso who was driven by frustration and violence.
Following Flamini’s horror tackle on Corluka, the tension in the match reached an uncontrollable level as Gattuso clashed with Spurs' assistant coach Joe Jordan. In a way or another, Gattuso escaped punishment. But his foul on Pienaar a quarter hour later finally earned him a 76th minute yellow card.

Here at Milan, there are many players who have won the Champions League,” the Swede told reporters on Monday.The Rossoneri are fresh from a comfortable victory over Parma which helped them maintain their hopes of stealing the Scudetto away from Internazionale. Meanwhile, Spurs are also in good form.
They are unbeaten in the English Premier League since mid-January and their 2-1 comeback away to Sunderland last weekend has boosted their mood ahead of their Champions League encounter with Milan. Ibra is aware of the danger that the London club could present at the San Siro, but he also believes in his abilities.

Transfer News: Madness As Spurs Miss Out On Charlie Adam By 2 Minutes!
Football’s last day in the January transfer window was crazy. The funniest news, perhaps, is that Tottenham Hotspur failed to sign Blackpool’s Charlie Adam on time. Well, this is no joke!
Initially, the Blackpool captain was hot on Liverpool’s radar. Coach Kenny Dalglish was reportedly so anxious about signing the talented player. However, the Merseyside Reds’ efforts to sign Charlie Adam got blown away by Blackpool. In their first bid, Liverpool offered £4.5M to the Seasiders – a transfer fee which Blackpool coach Ian Holloway described as “disgraceful”. In their last try, Liverpool added £2M to their first offer but it got rejected as well. The Seasiders were not willing to let Charlie Adam leave for less than £10M.
Tottenham Transfer News: Steven Pienaar Drops Chelsea For Spurs
Steven Pienaar is officially no longer an Everton player. The South African star turned down an offer from Chelsea to sign for Tottenham Hotspur - it was revealed earlier today through his Twitter account.
A few days ago, Pienaar was the target of both Londoners. But the Blues were unable to meet the personal demands of the player, which eventually gave Tottenham the advantage in their transfer race for the midfielder. Finalizing all conjectures on his transfer saga, Pienaar tweeted: “To end speculation, I am going to Spurs. I've had brilliant years at Everton and it will always be a special place in my heart. I can also confirm I'll be jersey number 40.”Members of the Tottenham board also expressed their cheerfulness in their vital signing, through the club’s official website: "We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Everton and Steven Pienaar for the player's transfer to the club."
Football Transfer News: Spurs Urged To Sign Mark Van Bommel By VDV
Bayern Munich’s Mark van Bommel is currently on many clubs’ transfer radar. However, Tottenham Hotspur ace Rafael Van der Vaart wants his compatriot to land at White Hart Lane.
Serie A’s AC Milan, Wolfsburg from Germany’s Bundesliga and the English Premier League’s Manchester City are among the host of teams that have listed Mark van Bommel on their transfer wish list. The Bayern Munich captain and defender will be out of contract at the end of this season and he is yet to renew his deal with his current club as he looks to avoid making a quick decision over his career. Van Bommel’s agent, Mino Raiola, recently revealed while speaking to Bild that Liverpool had entered the race to sign the Dutch international. However, ex-Real Madrid midfielder Rafael van der Vaart is already relishing the prospect of having Van Bommel at Tottenham Hotspur.
Football Transfer News: Spurs Hijack Chelsea’s Steven Pienaar Bid
Shocking transfer news from London has hit the headlines; Spurs have hijacked Chelsea’s transfer bid for Steven Pienaar’s signature. It now looks like the Everton star is heading to White Hart Lane...
Football and its game of money make an incredible world, indeed. In just a matter of hours, Chelsea have been replaced by Tottenham Hotspur as the favourites to grab Steven Pienaar from Everton. Statements from Coach David Moyes besides reports from English magazine The Sun explained that Chelsea’s £3M bid had been accepted by the Toffees whereas Spurs chances of luring Pienaar had faded away. Harry Redknapp had also commentated on this transfer issue, saying that “it would make it difficult for Spurs to compete with that money” for the player as “Everton have agreed a fee with Chelsea for £3M which is probably a bit more that what Tottenham Hotspur had set”. However, like a miracle, Darren Bent’s shocking soon-to-be-completed transfer from Sunderland to Aston Villa appears to have settled the matter in favour of Harry Redknapp’s side.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United: Man UTD Will Soon Lose – Spurs’ Harry
Harry Redknapp will clash against Fergie in Sunday’s Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United match. The Spurs boss has put fear aside as Man United aren’t terrorizing like Barca or Madrid, Harry claims.
The Red Devils are holding an undefeated run in the English Premier League since the start of the season. They are being observed by curious football fans who want to see whether Manchester United can emulate the “Invincible” Arsenal side which didn’t taste defeat throughout the 2003/2004 EPL campaign. Whereas Ferguson predicted last time that the Red Devils may not be able to achieve this unbeaten feat, star winger Nani claimed otherwise in few weeks ago. However, Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has rather sided with Fergie only to put pressure on his opposite number. Blunt statements from the Spurs coach in English magazine The Sun went as follows:
Chelsea Transfer News: Blues Make £3M Steven Pienaar Bid To Beat Spurs
The struggling Blues have lost their goal scoring power. Now, reports claim that Ancelotti is desperate to beat Spurs’ interest and make a Chelsea transfer for Everton’s Steven Pienaar.
According to English news source The Sun, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich – who publicly declared his support to Coach Ancelotti – has made funds available for the Italian boss to be active on the transfer market. With Chelsea’s goal scoring record having considerably decreased in the English Premier League and with star winger Yossi Benayoun only returning to action in March due to injury, the Blues need to take action. The Sun reported on Friday that Carlo Ancelotti is looking to succeed in rivalling Tottenham Hotspur for the transfer of Steven Pienaar from Everton. The South African play maker has his contract with the Toffees expiring at the end of this season and it is understood that he is interested in joining a team which can offer him Champions League football.
Serie A Leaders AC Milan Thinking Of AS Roma Match As Spurs Battle Is Far Away
AC Milan’s Massimiliano Allegri is keen to guide the Rossoneri to victory against AS Roma in the Serie A this weekend.
The coach spoke to the media about this game following Friday’s Champions League draw.“It’s important for us to do well against AS Roma because they’ll want to get a good result tomorrow night,” the AC Milan boss declared. As he looked at the Giallorossi’s improving condition in the Serie A, he continued:

Chelsea Not Chelsea Anymore & Spurs Draw Wasn’t A Comeback – Ex-Blue Frank Leboeuf
Chelsea aren’t Chelsea anymore. How can a draw, marked by an injury-time penalty miss, mean a comeback? Ex- French legend Frank Leboeuf is puzzled and sad about the Blues’ sorrows…
Leboeuf can look back at his playing days at Chelsea with a smile. The former midfielder appeared more than 200 times for the London outfit and he notched over 20 goals as the club went on to win 2 FA Cups, 1 Cup Winners’ Cup, and 1 League Cup during his time at the Bridge.Chelsea’s success didn’t falter after Frank Laboeuf’s departure in 2001. The Blues instead emerged as Manchester United’s biggest threat as they experienced great moments under Jose Mourinho. Last season, Chelsea also achieved good standards as Carlo Ancelotti led them to win the FA Cup and English Premier League title.
Based on their early results in this campaign, the Blues looked to be so well on course to defending their league title. However, their ongoing run of 5 matches without a win in the Premier League seems to be revealing other things as Chelsea have now dropped down from the 1st rank to the 4th rank in the table.

Tottenham vs Inter Milan: Spurs Must Take Their Chances In The Champions League
Tottenham Hotspur will host Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Spurs aren't the favorites to win the match, but they could take their chances to create an upset.
Tottenham Hotspur produced a sensational comeback against Inter Milan in the Champions League a fortnight ago and they were only inches away from clinching a hard-fought point at the San Siro. However, if Gareth Bale’s second-half hat-trick wasn’t enough to redeem Spurs’ 4-0 first-half deficit, it at least sent a strong warning to the opposition, Inter Milan. Tottenham Hotspurs are participating in this season’s Champions League not just to travel around Europe but to progress further in the competition in the name of success; this is the message the club wants to let other teams and the public to understand.
