What are you upset about? Don't tell me you thought we had a chance of getting him..

 

Until someone's actually put pen to paper, there's always a chance of signing them. Shearer and Owen are testament to that.

Riquelme rejects Spurs for Boca

 

Argentina playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme has revealed he turned down Spurs to move back to Boca Juniors.

 

Riquelme, 29, has been frozen out at Villarreal this season after falling out with coach Manuel Pellegrini.

 

He is now putting the finishing touches to his return to Argentina, but admitted Spurs had tried to sign him.

 

Riquelme, who has not played for Villarreal this term, said: "I thank Spurs for their interest but my family and I want to return home."

 

He added: "I am a simple person and all I want is to play football every Sunday.

 

"This move is the only chance I have to play at the next World Cup, which is the thing that motivates me most.

 

"People should know that of the three parties I am the one who has made the biggest effort and that I have offered to play a year for free with Boca.

 

"I have also told Villarreal they do not have to pay me what they owe me for another year and a half."

If this is true then fair play to the moody bastid. Nice to see some integrity in this filthy, over inflated sport we all love. Maybe he doesn't need the cash because he's some next level drug barron in south america? proper looks like one imo
