Redknapp to have another bash at signing David James
Harry, David, and a big shiny plate
In a real life recreation of the final scenes of It’s a Wonderful Life where everyone who Jimmy Stewart has ever helped suddenly turns up at his house to pay their dues, there is a rumour going around the Daily Mirror that David James will soon be heading to Spurs to say one last “thank you” to his old boss, Henry Redknapp, before eventually hanging up his massive foam goalkeeping gloves for good.
Tottenham will be going head-to-head with Stoke in a bid to land the England keeper, with Portsmouth understandably keen to cut their wage bill during the transfer window.
But should Redknapp get Levy onside – something which he failed to do during the last transfer window – then James could soon arrive on loan, costing Spurs around £50,000/week. His mission: to somehow oust Heurelho Gomez, who now looks pretty decent at playing goalie. Not an easy task.
Begging the question – with the World Cup looming, would David James be better off with guaranteed first-team football somewhere else?
And will Joe Cole be next to pay an homage to his old boss?
