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.
