Harry Redknapp: I went in for Tev (TH SUN Article)



Carlos Tevez was wanted by Tottenham
SHOCK BID ... Carlos Tevez was wanted by Tottenham
Last Updated: 28th April 2012

HARRY REDKNAPP has revealed for the first time how his dream of signing Carlos Tevez crashed in the January transfer window.

The Tottenham manager wanted to sign the forward — as SunSport revealed in December — believing Tevez’s goals could fire Spurs nearer the Premier League crown.
Since then, the Argie has returned to Manchester City after a four-month absence and sparked a title charge.
And Redknapp reckons he could have done the same for Tottenham.
He admitted: “I said to the chairman Daniel Levy ‘Can you get me Tevez?’
“That was my dream and so in January that’s what I asked. It wasn’t possible but that was my dream.
“The chairman would have loved Tevez but it wasn’t do-able because his wages are whatever they are, £200,000-a-week.
“Daniel made some enquiries about Tevez and if he could have done it, the chairman would have.
“It was me thinking ‘Tevez... he’s not in the team, he’s fallen out with Roberto Mancini’.
“You don’t know unless you ask. It was just a little try.”
With Emmanuel Adebayor already on a season-loan from City, Tottenham would have had to buy Tevez to stay within Premier League rules.
