Tottenham To Swap Jermain Defoe For Craig Bellamy?

By Chris Wright

Seems highly unlikely to me, but the official PFA webite – Give Me Football - are reporting today that Tottenham Hotspur are seriously considering a move for Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy, and that City would only allow the Welshman to leave if Jermain Defoe were to move t’other way.

So sayeth the article;

Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has repeatedly been linked with a move for the feisty Welshman, and whispers of a move from Spurs re-surfaced heavily after an alleged bust-up between Craig Bellamy and club manager Roberto Mancini, but Redknapp will have to part with Jermain Defoe if he wants to add Bellamy to the ranks at White Hart Lane.

It’s predicted that City would have to make a player-plus-cash offer, something that wouldn’t be a problem for the super rich club. On paper an unlikely move, this could become the biggest transfer of the summer if City want to chase the highly-rated striker.”

I think I’ve got a fair idea already, but we’ll have to wait and see how this one pans out…

    i hope not and think not. Redknapp is JD’s adopted father

  2. JOHN ADAM says:

    Not a really good idea to swap Defoe for Bellamy, good as he is as striker. We must keep Defoe.I feel we should have snatched Bellamy from West Ham before he joined Manchester City. It is still not too late to try to have him but without losing Defoe.

  3. Johnno says:

    Would rather keep Bellers.

    Love to hear Harry’s thought’s

    Even for the usual so called journalistic nonsense that gets spread around this is rubbish. Bellamy, despite being a real talent, is like King with a dodgy knee which will limit his availability. His time is fading Defoe’s is still to come.

    Why are you perpetuating this pile ‘o’ shite story man?

    @GorgeousGeorge: Just a bit of throw-away ‘debate’ material, don’t let it get to you my good man.

  9. Jordan says:

    What a load of dross!

    Bellamy for Defoe? Yeah right!!! Defoe is worth treble what Bellamy is worth!

  10. Pete says:

    You might be right Jordan but presumably City would offer cash and Bellamy for Defoe but would seem sensible that they wouldn’t let Bellamy go without insisting that Defoe was part of the deal. If Spurs don’t want to sell Defoe then that would be fine but Bellamy wouldn’t be going the other way either.
