Harry's spot on

Harry Redknapp's comment relating to clubs holding off selling their players in order to see if Manchester City's fat cat owners will stump up more cash, is spot on.

Since when does Jermain Defoe cost £20 million? West Ham are also holding out for at least £15 million for Bellamy. Harry expressed the fact that we had a bid turned down last week, which the media believe to be in the region of £6 million.

Has the transfer system gone mad?! We are supposed to be heading into a recession, yet Premier League club's that are sprinting towards financial trouble, namely Portsmouth and West Ham, want to gamble with fate.

Jermain Defoe would be welcomed back to White Hart Lane with open arms, but at a respectable price. Harry's not stupid; he won't be paying over the odds for players. His wise persistence in not spending over and above what a player is worth could spell the end of our pursuit of any Portsmouth and West Ham players.
