Spurs Defender Off To Charlton

By Jaymes Payten-Marsh
For THBN

Spurs tall defender Anthony Gardner may sign for Charlton Athletic within the next 48 hours according to reports.

Gardner, 23, has become surplus to requirements at Tottenham. The London club already have the likes of King, Dawson, Naybet, Davenport and Huddlestone vying for the two centre-back spots available.

It has been said that Charlton offered £1 million, which, was firmly turned down by Spurs coach Jol. Tottenham have asked Charlton to raise the bid to around the £2 million mark if they are to land their man.

Charlton will come in with a bid in the region of £1.6 million, with a further £300,000 based upon appearances.

If Gardner does sign, Charlton will have a back four comprised of former Spurs players.

Chris Perry and Luke Young both played for Tottenham, and Paul Konchesky played on loan for Spurs.

  1. Good luck to the fella, hasn't progressed as quick as we all thought but has the physical attributes and the speed.
    Wont really get a look in with King Dawson Naybet and either Huddlestone or Dawson.
    best thing all round imo
  2. Anthony Gardener has been a great member of a spurs squad during difficult times I for one wish him well.
  3. Good luck and fair weather sir best regards
  4. The Lad is still young and has much prospect. Another year at Spurs would have been a lot better. You never know, he just might turn right for Spurs.

  6. what a judas.
  7. Best for him to go....he's not going to get much of a look in for the foreseeable future. Good luck at Charlton...decent manager there in Curbs!
  8. I firmly believe the best is yet to come from Antony, a wonderful talent. Like other departures he will come back to haunt us.
  9. Goodluck to him.
  10. i think we'll be better off without him.he could sometimes look a good prospect,but to me most of the time looked a bit lost during parts of the game.so maybe with a bit of regular first team football he'll develope.but i for one think not.good luck anyway.
  11. thanks and the best of luck tony,youve not played much but you never complained and just got on with it .all credit to you i think youll do well at the valley.
  12. True, Gardener has never complained, even though he did not play that many games, but to be fair he was never a top player, and Spurs have plenty of quality and yound center backs.
    Good luck anyhow.
