Should Spurs sign the Yorkshire Ripper?

An unconventional signing target for ‘Arry

Harry Redknapp is always one to give a cheeky comment or two to the press boys, ‘Arry plays the game and knows the buttons to press but when discussing his latest transfer moves, one name came out of left-field.

There have been some strange moves this transfer window but we nearly choked on our Coco Pops when we saw the name of Peter Sutcliffe (aye, we’re not buying that name change thing he wanted after the conviction), The Yorkshire Ripper, in association with Spurs.

One thing that would count against the signing of Sutcliffe would be his lack of experience in the top flight and indeed, the Champions League. Spurs have an ideal opportunity to press on this season and need to be bringing in players that will strengthen their top four credentials.

On the positive side, Sutcliffe would probably be able to play on a more regular basis than Ledley King or Johnny Woodgate. That aside, and when you consider all that unpleasantness with females, it would be best for everyone concerned if Redknapp doesn’t take a chance on the 64 year old.

Mind you, if Spurs did confirm their interest, it would probably galvanise Manchester City to make a late bid for Sutcliffe.

Then again, it’s not really as if City need any more defensive midfielders.

On a slightly less traumatic note, Spurs have swooped to bring ex Arsenal greeting faced captain William Gallas to White Hart Lane. This now sees Gallas at his third London club after spells with Chelsea and the Gooners and no matter where Gallas has been, he has managed himself and his opinions brilliantly.

No wait, he has portrayed himself to be a git at every opportunity with the thinly veiled threat (obviously later denied) to score an own-goal if played by Chelsea being one of his lowest moments.

It will be a hard one for Spurs fans – one of their best moments in recent years came with the sight of Gallas sitting on the half-way line in a huff, angry at the realisation that Arsenal had blown their best chance of being in a title race.

That’s all change now as the Tottenham fans will have to get right behind their new man….but there is always room for redemption. After all…..Peter Sutcliffe did say he was sorry (its at the end of this video…but its worth watching!!)

Sutcliffe apologises
