English Premier League: Tottenham News Update, 29th November 2010
Harry Redknapp believes he can win the title
Tottenham boss, Harry Redknapp revealed that his side is the rightful title contender. Spurs put on an impressive performance, as they came from behind to beat Liverpool 2-1, at White Hart Lane. Martin Skrtel gave Liverpool the lead, just before half-time and also scored an own-goal to even the score. Aaron Lennon scored a second to give his side the win, against a revitalized Liverpool.Redknapp was impressed by his side’s display and confidently spoke out on the title race, where League leaders Chelsea have been toppled over and Manchester United have taken over. Redknapp admitted that anything was possible in the Premier League at this point. He said while speaking to reporters,
“It’s wide open .Of course we've got a chance. How can I sit here and say we can't when we've beaten Liverpool and won at Arsenal? If it's only Chelsea or United who can win it, why are we bothering? Chelsea, a month ago, looked absolute certainties but they're struggling to get results. They'll get stronger when they get some key players back, but so will we.”
He continued
“I don't know if the players believe it. I've said: 'Listen, there's no reason why we can't have a go'. I said last year we should target the top four. I'm not going to say we'll win the championship now, but we've got a chance. Arsenal and Manchester City have a chance, too. Chelsea and United are favorites, but
nothing's impossible.”
Tottenham chase, Croatian International, Darijo Srna
Tottenham are reportedly interested in Darijo Srna, the Shakhtar Donetsk full-back. They are facing tough competition from the likes of Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, for the Croatian international. The twenty-eight-year-olds contract, with Shakhtar Donetsk, expires at the end of the new season and has so far failed to agree to a new deal. This has sparked rumors that he may very well be on his way out to one of the top European clubs. He is considered as one of the best attacking right-backs in the game. His creativity, pace and hard work makes him one of a kind. Donetsk provides accurate crosses and has already scored twice, providing five assists this season, which have seen his side, to the top of the Ukrainian league.
