“The guy selling a Seat Leon will claim it’s a better model,” Monchi says. “Kanouté wasn’t the first option; we were going after Fred, the Brazilian. We wanted [Kevin-Prince] Boateng before Keita. And if a player says: ‘Chelsea want me,’ I say: ‘What are you talking to me for, then?’ But if Swansea or Spurs want you, let’s talk."
Remember that Juande Ramos went to Spurs from Sevilla, ditching Monchi and his long nurtured youth project on the way, so he probably has a wry view on both Ramos and Spurs from that experience.Quote:

Yes, but not very often. Usually it's just that they are spurs.Quote:

On the contrary. There is no blame to be attributed to spurs, which are a useful if nowadays little employed addition to a pair of boots if you need your horse to go faster. There is therefore all the difference in the world between spurs and the Spawn of Beelzebub stain on the world which is Spurs.
