Tottenham confirm bargain £30m deal for 4 Manchester United players

Michael Carrick and Wes Brown

Juande Ramos has decided to splash the cash in Manchester United’s direction with Tottenham picking up a host of stars from the Manchester United firesale.

Tottenham are reported to have struck deals with United keeper Ben Foster, former Tottenham midfielder Michael Carrick as well as French internationals Louis Saha and Mikael Silvestre.

The combined deal will cost Tottenham £30m, and while some reports have suggested that Manchester United were giving Saha and Silvestre for free, we have confirmation from Tottenham that they will indeed be paying for the services of Saha and Silvestre.

The £30m will be financed from player sales, with Arsenal to pick up Paul Robinson and Newcastle United to pick up Bent, Dawson and Ghaly. Other stars are expected to be shipped out as well, although it’s harder to know at this point who will stay at Tottenham than be shipped out.

Do you think Saha and Silvestre can win a starting XI berth at Tottenham?

    Hard to tell this is an April Fool to be fair given this site’s usual atrocious content.

  5. Ha Ha, not even close enough to being believable to even be close to an April Fool

    Minor factual error in an otherwise un-factual article but we’ve already got rid of Hossam Ghaly!

    Although I’d not say no to getting Carrick back.

  6. April Fools total shite and not funny. OK, its a little funny. Shit, I fell for the Rooney one. DAMN!

  7. Saha? aha.

  8. a bullcrap joke totally unbeliveable written by a Liverpool hating, dogpoop eating idiot
