Lamb Goes To Slaughter!
Last updated : 04 January 2009 By Boro Mad
Spurs have been linked with a move for the England winger since Harry Redknapp moved to White Hart Lane.
And the former Portsmout manager has an amazing way of "poaching" players, by showing his interest long before the transfer window opens ... and he lets the media do the work for him trying to unsettle the player.
It's certainly worked with Downing.
Lamb (talking to the News of the World): "It is a derisory offer.
"Who on earth do they think they are? They bleated away when Dimitar Berbatov left for Manchester United in the summer - but they sold at top dollar.
"Then they want to snatch other players for derisory offers and try to unsettle players. That is what has happened here. Their offer is a joke.
"Why would we sell our best players to our nearest rivals? Stewart is going nowhere."
