A quick look around the football news sites today and one story leaps out to suggest that it’s a very quiet day on the Spurs news front.
Alessandro Del Piero is being linked with a move to the Premier League, most notably to Tottenham, Arsenal and QPR. The veteran Italian forward is out of contract at Juventus and is being tipped to leave the Serie A champions after 19 years at the club.
There is no doubt that Del Piero was a world class player, but are we really in the market to sign a 37-year-old whose best years are behind him and would command a hefty wage packet? I’m hope, and I hope that Harry Redknapp is too busy counting his transfer war chest to land the likes of Loic Remy rather than Del Piero.
Let’s just file this speculation under a quiet news day, shall we?
