Frazier Campbell Appears Happy With Loan Move From Manchester United To Spurs

When Manchester United suddenly threw Frazier Campbell into the formula for the Dimitar Berbatov transfer deal I actully felt quite sorry for him. As well as feeling sorry for Phil Brown, manager of Hull City.

I felt Campbell might see this as a situation in which he was 'used' and 'abused' by United to get their man [Berbatov]. Phil Brown had also had Campbell on loan as Spurs do now. Frazier was instrumental in getting Hull into the Premiership and Brown offered £500,000 for him, a bit cheeky. He later raised his bid to £2m and eventually to £5m he rated him that highly. Suddenly to have the rug pulled out from under his feet as United traded him off against Berbatov.

But it seems Campbell is happy with his move and is looking forward to the challenge of getting a regular first team spot at White Hart Lane. He told Setanta Sports:

“I'm enjoying myself down at Spurs, obviously we could do with a win, but I'm still settling in and I'm sure we can turn it around. The next thing for me is to try to break into the first team, hold down a consistent position and hopefully score some goals for the team.”.....Back To Home Page

Real Madrid And Carlos Tevez - Here We Go Again

Real Madrid have now decided it is time to go after Carlos Tevez now with some limp, lame excuse that Manchester United are dithering over the deal. These so called Spanish giants are pathetic !!!

They have no ethics, no morals and they are really tedious in the way they conduct their business. Not unlike their newspapers actually, they are not averse to scraping around in the dustbins for any scraps of rubbish they can print.

United have expressed their intention to take up their option to sign the 24-year-old for £32million, but delays have left the deal in doubt. Now Real are monitoring the situation and will make their move if the English champions fail to sign Tevez before January 30, claims Madrid-based newspaper Marca, good old Marca, one story in 50 might, just might, approach reality !

Argy bargy: Carlos Tevez is fouled while on international duty for Argentina

The former West Ham striker is owned by an off-shore company and advised
by controversial Iranian agent Kia Joorabchian. Bernabeu coach Bernd Schuster wants to add attacking players after losing Robinho to Manchester City on the last transfer deadline day and also missing out on main target Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer. Sporting director Predrag Mijatovic has been charged with finding a world class striker and Real could be ready to do battle with United again after the Old Trafford club won a dirty summer tug-of-war over Portugal star Ronaldo.

The Spanish champions could be encouraged by Tevez's comments that adapting to the English game has robbed him of the kind of flair he used to show when playing in South America.

‘I’m not as dangerous, I’m not as effective in the penalty area anymore. 'That is something I have lost, and I have to get that back. I used to score better goals, great goals. But something strange has happened. I think it has to do with the fact that the person up front (in England) has to do a lot more for the team than just score goals. They have to play more for the team and I think I have sacrificed myself recently with regards to that aspect.’.....Back To Home Page
