Right let's get into the Tottenham News Shorts - Issue 6 recent news which concerns Ángel di María, Jackson Martínez, Memphis Depay, Jermain Defoe, Harry Redknapp.

It is claimed Argentinian wide man Ángel di María has alerted Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and a host of European clubs to his potential availability after revealing he is unsure of his Real Madrid future.

Before anyone gets too excited though he may have started the season slowly but he finished it in superb form and Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelloti doesn't want to sell the player. The suggestions are that the management are happy to let him go with Monaco and Juventus heading the queue.

Because of the fee and status, the two marketing tools, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, have to play so di María will always be the back-up option at Real, which could well force him to leave.

Porto are holding out for a better offer for star striker Jackson Martínez who joined them in 2012 from Mexican side Chaipas. Atlético Madrid have an offer on the table for Martínez, who hasn't yet played a game for Colombia at the World Cup, £19.96 million + £3.99 million in add-ons (€25M +€5M) variables), total £23.95 million (€30m).

Porto are resigned to losing the man who bagged 20 goals in 30 league games last season, in all competitions he scored 29 in 51 games. He has a £31.94 million (€40M) release clause in his contract and Porto are willing to wait to see if anyone will get nearer to it.

He has been linked with Tottenham in the past but this time around I haven't heard of any Spurs interest in the everlasting, it seems, search for a prolific striker.

I haven't bothered reporting anything on supposed interest Dutch 20 year-old Memphis Depay at £16.77 million (€21M) as the Real Madrid hierarchy want him to replace Angel di Maria.

Jermain Defoe has come out to clear his name after the smear placed upon him and other Spurs players by irresponsible comments from Harry Redknapp. Defoe has insisted he has never tried to drop out of any England squad.

Harry Redknapp has unsurprisingly refused to name the players. The FA should really be speaking to him and charging him with bringing the game into disrepute. You can not slur players, especially the innocent ones but the weak FA will no doubt ignore it. If he did name players he would face libel charges.

As you'll all get withdrawal symptoms with a look at a potential shirt I'd post the pictures everyone else has! I have found it funny how everyone has tried to describe them as if they are some kind of fashion expert.


The training tops above and below the shirt that was previously modelled by a woman I seem to recall and rubbished at the time.



No guarantees this is the shirt of course but all you clothing experts can at least start planning your new wardrobe if it is.
