SIGN ME UP ... Pascal Chimbonda out on the town
after Tottenham's humbling of Arsenal
PASCAL CHIMBONDA has stunned Tottenham by declaring: Im
off to join Kevin Keegan. The French full-back claims he is ready
to accept a lucrative offer to be part of the Keegan revolution at
Newcastle. He will shun a Carling Cup final place to move
on.
There was also another shock for Spurs fans last night, as boss
Juande Ramos admitted Dimitar Berbatov could still be on his way
out. Ramos said: There is always a risk he could go while the
transfer market stays open.
Chimbonda, though, is adamant his deal has been struck. Out
celebrating Tottenhams 5-1 demolition of Arsenal on Tuesday night,
the 28-year-old bragged to pals: Kevin Keegan has approached me
and theyve offered me more money.
Offer
I am definitely leaving Spurs. Its all about the money. I dont
care about the final, I dont care about the cup. SunSport
revealed earlier this month how Chimbonda was one of eight stars
that Ramos wanted to axe.
Ramos could be ready to let Bulgarian hitman Berbatov go if he gets
a £30million offer. He added: Berbatov is a great player, so it is
normal there is some interest from other clubs. But he is happy
and enjoying playing for Tottenham and we rely on him a great deal.
So it would have to be an offer from a very big club with a very
big contract to make him leave us.
Ramos is still trying to tie up his own deals for midfielder Tiago,
full-back Gilberto and Valencias Spain midfielder David
Albelda.
