A mate of mine who is a big Spurs fan from North London has messaged me today saying there's talk down there that Celtic have been in discussions with Spurs about bringing in Vincent Jansen in January. I'm not convinced this is true as I imagine he'll be on silly wages, however the only other time he has told me a player was moving from Spurs to Celtic was when we signed Robbie Keane on loan and I didn't believe him then either.

I don't think his wages would actually be THAT silly to be honest. Top end for us, sure, but not astronomical. This is the kind of deal that wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Didn't we get robbie Keane on loan from Liverpool?

{Ed001's Note - no, he was booted out of Spurs on loan to Celtic after organising a piss up trip to Ireland after Redknapp had forbidden a Xmas do. Redknapp made public statements about how the players would never do that behind his back only to find out later, to his great embarrassment, that the 'quiet golfing trip' club captain Keane had taken them all on was a all-day and night drinking session! Funnily enough I have just finished writing an article which mentions it, that should be up later today, when Ed033 gets the chance to upload it. And finally......It's Christmas it is called. Just a few anecdotes about footballers and Xmas dos.}

Ed 001 am i right in saying spurs wage structure isn't completely mental like most of the top if the premiership?

{Ed001's Note - they do have a much lower wage bill. For now anyway. It is causing issues. Some players have recently had huge hikes, such as Kane, to try and ward off interest.}

I thought I read that.

{Ed001's Note - you remembered correctly. Though it is relative compared to teams like Burnley.}

He looks like one for the treatment table. Should fit in perfectly.

Think it said they were the lowest paying top 6 side last year and had only recently started paying over 100 grand or something like that.
Article was about them not buying in the summer.

{Ed001's Note - that would be right, they have been paying below the rest of the top 6 for a long time.}

Hi Ed001, have you got the link to the Christmas article? Sounds like something I’d fancy!
