I don't usually read comments on articles, but for some reason decided to read the ones on Lassana Diarra possibly joining Spurs. The following comment made me lol.
Quote:
Why would 8.5m for Diarra be impossible? You don't rate a players value based on who they play for. You base it on what they have to offer, and in the case of Diarra, it's not much. Real Madrid spent waaaay over the top for him when they paid Pompey 18m for him. I still remember having a good laugh at that when I heard it. I could only imagine how that initial conversation went...
Ring, ring...
Hello..
Harry Redknapp please...
Speaking...
This is Real Madrid. We want to offer you 15m for Lass Diara...
15m for who???
Okay 'Arry, you're a tough cookie. We'll give you 18m. Final offer...
(Redknapp covers the phone and yells to his assistant) Hey Billy, Real Madrid want to give us 18m for Lass f***ing Diara?
Are they f***ing bonkers?
(Harry chuckles)
Okay Real Madrid, you've player your cards well. We hate to lose him (chuckle, chuckle), but for 18m quid, I can't really turn you away (snicker, snicker).
Okay then Harry, it's a deal. I'll fax you the papers in the morning. Good-bye...
Hey Billy, we just sold Lass Diara to Real Ma' F***ing Drid for 18m quid. Let's call Alex and head down to the track and celebrate. What a bunch of f***ing morons...
