Yeah, Spurs have probably got the best Chairman in the league. I can't see many clubs turning down £40m from Chelsea for a player when he was desperate to go.

I just can't understand how anybody thought it was wise to sign Bendtner, Diaby etc up on long term deals for £50k per week. I hear Djourou's just signed a new deal too - it won't be for less than £50k per week I'm sure.

It's utter madness.
