Spurs keen on Heinze for £5m
-
TOTTENHAM are to make a £5million bid for Manchester United defender Gabriel Heinze.
But the move could hinge on United successfully completing a £6m swoop for superkid Gareth Bale.
Argentina World Cup star Heinze has been pushed out at Old Trafford in favour of Patrice Evra.
Spurs boss Martin Jol wants him to fill his problem left-back berth, having lost confidence in his present duo of Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Lee Young-Pyo.
Heinze, a £6.9million signing from Paris St Germain in 2004, is still rated one of the best left-backs in the Premiership.
But after the player missed most of last season through injury, United chief Alex Ferguson has tended to go for the more attacking option of Evra during his sideÂ’s current title assault.
Fergie, though, is unlikely to let Heinze move on if his £6m offer fails to net 17-year-old Southampton full-back Bale, who is a target for a host of Premiership clubs.
Jol has also enquired about United centre-back Wes Brown during the transfer window.
Yet Ferguson is reluctant to sell the England player while he still has little cover for Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic. -
frankly is spurs boss richer than RA?
how many players are there at spurs? -
Well... but the players they buy are all way below $10m kind. Chelsea buy players that are way towards $20 to $30m type... He still needs a bigger squad to challenge for the top spot right...Originally posted by dragg:frankly is spurs boss richer than RA?

I think Martin Jol is buying up all the young English players, and planning for the future..
As for Heinze, unless MUFC gets Bale, I don't think it is a good idea. -
Dun sell Heinze.
-
Utd can't afford to let Heinze go. He's still a first choice player in some matches. Even if not, he has an impt void to fill if Evra is out on injury.
-
Bale in, Heinze out.
Seems fine with me judging that Heinze isn't that young to be a backup defender and it would be a waste of time if he remains at Old Trafford just to warm the bench when he is good enough to be in the starting 11 of most teams.
Cheers.
C.K -
sell silvestre instead...
-
It will be a big mistake to let him go!!!!!
SAF please don do it...Great defense keep you going through slump...
Evra will get you goals...but not much of a cover for left....
Saf please....Man U needs him!!!! -
yes..if really muz sell, sell silvestre
-
i dun think SAF will sell Heinze.. not this season at least.. still need a reliable cover for Evra.. we still got FA Cup and Champions League and Evra might burn out or suffer injury (touch wood) ...
WE WANT THE TREBLE AGAIN!! PLEASE KEEP HEINZE!!! -
Heinze will stay for now... But i think this could be his last year at united. Should united gets Gareth Bale for next season, Heinze will be sold maybe for about $5m, a decent sum considering that united paid about $7m for him only.
As much as we won't like to see him go, he is getting on in age and he has slow down a bit this season... Bale is much younger than him about 11 yrs and also taller too and has good potential... He is also said to be quite a decent Free-kick specialist too.
Anyway, he is only 17... so can last for a very long time...

Heinze's contract will end this season, but I want him to stay! Buy silvestre lah please

Dun sell him

Heinze Denies Exit Rumors
Manchester United defender Gabriel Heinze has denied reports he is on his way out of the club in the January transfer window.
The Argentina international has struggled to regain his place in the side with Patrice Evra impressing at left-back and Sir Alex Ferguson also interested in Southampton youngster Gareth Bale.
But despite interest from Italian giants AC Milan Heinze, who cost nearly £7million three years ago, could see out his contract until the end of the season.
He told the Daily Star: "I know the interest from Milan for me but now the decision remains with Manchester United.
"I do not want to be sold in January. I want to wait until June to see what happens. "I am happy in Manchester with my work and I want to try and get back in the team, but it is the coach who picks the 11."
Juventus and Spurs are two of the other clubs linked with a move for Heinze, and some of Wednesday's tabloids claimed the London club were ready to bid £5million for his services. But their manager Martin Jol told Sky Sports News: "There's no truth in that." -
So maybe he wants to leave for free and get a sign-on fee for himself? Hmmm...Originally posted by Dead_Man_Inc:Heinze's contract will end this season, but I want him to stay! Buy silvestre lah please

in the worse case that he walk for free, I think he has done enough to justify...
I understand that he was player of year for MUFC last season..
what luck.. -
Not last season, the season before cos last season he was injured from Sep all the way till the WC. That means he only played for them for about a month last season.Originally posted by iceFatboy:in the worse case that he walk for free, I think he has done enough to justify...

Fergie clarifies Heinze deal
Sir Alex Ferguson has moved to clarify Gabriel Heinze's future at Manchester United, with the Scot denying reports which suggested the Argentine defender was in the final few months of his contract.
Heinze has struggled to nail down a regular starting berth at Old Trafford since recovering from injury and he had been linked with moves to Tottenham and Milan.
The buccaneering left-back had been quoted as saying his contract was due to expire in the summer, but Ferguson has moved to reassure the club's fans by insisting Heinze's deal is not up for renewal until 2009.
"One paper said his contract finishes in June. That's wrong, it ends in 2009," stated Ferguson. "When I read that I immediately went diving for my file. I was sure that wasn't right. We don't allow these things to happen."
Asked whether Heinze had a future at United, Ferguson said: "Absolutely, of course." Ferguson is reported to be targeting Southampton youngster Gareth Bale, but the Scot admits he has made little progress in his bid to improve his squad.
"We're hitting a brick wall [with bringing players in]," added the Scot. "I make the point every year, not a lot happens in January. It's usually very quiet. -
its a waste heinze was injured so long.... lucky evra blossomed.
SAF shld get rid of wes brown and silvestre and the other rubbish like o'shea....
