Spurs manager Harry Redknapp will not only be disappointed for his side’s 3-0 defeat against Arsenal but will also be upset for failing to sign Belgian International Thomas Vermaelen who is producing back-to-back impressive performances for their rivals.
Redknapp told The Mirror how the 23-year old was offered to them but he preferred not to sign him as they were pretty much covered in the left-back position.
He said:
Vermaelen has done very well. I was recommended him as a left-back but we were strong in that position.
People who recommended him didn’t speak of him as a central defender, but he and Gallas look very solid at the back. He’s very strong at left back and in central defence as well.

Good for us and Vermaelen (Arsenal is a better team than Tottenham). Wenger is really great. We are lucky to have him as our manager.
