Still, a rumour about our club so twas posted
Cute how he wants to get onside with the Spuds fansQuote:
Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has revealed that he was also contacted by Arsenal during the summer transfer window, but eventually opted to join the Spurs as they gave him "a good feeling".
The Belgium international signed a long-term contract with the White Hart Lane outfit, and has gone on to start two of their three Premier League matches so far.
His future was uncertain for a long time, however, and the former Ajax captain revealed he questioned Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp over both clubs.
"[Bergkamp] knows Tottenham are a very big club. He's a very good guy, and I get along with him very well," the 25-year old told Sky Sports.
"I chose Spurs because they gave me a good feeling. I spoke to Daniel Levy and Rafael van der Vaart. Arsenal did try to sign me, but I'd already made my decision that I wanted to play [for Spurs].
"[Arsenal captain] Thomas [Vermaelen] told me [the Arsenal and Tottenham rivalry] was like Ajax and Feyenoord.
"They're big rivals but when I walk down the street even the Arsenal fans have been very respectful."
Tottenham will look to secure their first victory of the season when they travel to Reading on Sunday.
It is no secret Vertonghen is a long time Arsenal fan. We didn't sign him cos we don't need another CB. :coffee:
Well we do but only as 4th choice which he wouldnt be happy with
Someone like a Grimandi or a Cygan.
Decent dependable players who will come in when the inevitable injuries come around and then wont moan when they are dropped when the injured players are back

Make the right offer, Wenger
£20m should do it
Or £15m plus Arteta
