Steve 10,227 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Spurs coach Juande Ramos has identified the Israeli defender as his top target and is prepared to pay out in the region of £8 million to make the player his first signing.Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce has also signalled his intent to sign the former Bolton player and has already had a loan bid for the 25-year-old rejected by Chelsea.Ben Haim is thought to be ready to quit the Stamford Bridge club just six months after joining the side on a free transfer from Bolton last summer.The central-defender has consigned himself to the fact his long-term future is in doubt with Chelsea closing in on the signing of Serbia international Branislav Ivanovic.Even with John Terry sidelined with a foot injury, Ben Haim has seen little first-team action and could make the short move to Spurs to get his career back on track.Ramos has made strengthening his backline his main priority in the transfer window as their leaky defence has conceded eight goals in three games.Ledley King is still returning to match fitness after a long lay off with a knee injury and turned out in their 2-2 FA Cup draw with Reading.Younes Kaboul, however, has failed to live up to expectations following his summer arrival from Auxuerre while Michael Dawson has failed to impress Ramos.Pascal Chimbonda, meanwhile, could also reconsider his future at White Hart Lane following the arrival of full-back Chris Gunter and the club's pursuit of Rangers defender Alan Hutton."I am shocked that the club have made offers for two right-backs," he said."I am essentially a right-back and although I don't mind playing in central defence to help out my team my proper position is right back."When I asked why the club had signed a new right-back and moved for another one I was told they wanted me to play in central defence and I just laughed."http://www.telegraph.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombayblueâ„¢ 55 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 20 million + ben haim for berbatov? i wouldn't say no, if they were dumb enough to accept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The roumers surrounding Ben Haim have kicked off today with Man City, Portsmouth and Spurs all aparently interested. Man City seem to be the favorites at the moment to land him for £5m. It would come as no suprise to anybody to see Ben Haim leave this summer.

bombayblueâ„¢ 55 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'm suprised at citeh, spurs and pompey being interested.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Well it would be no suprise to see this one tied up quickly like we did with Sidwell, with our squad needing trimming right down we need to get rid of the obvious deadwood fast so we can get as close to our final squad as possible working together.

Kez 2,727 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Thank god. He's done nothing but give Cech 50 stitches. Nice one mate. Can't wait to see him go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikno 1 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 £5million! You sure it's not 5 million pennies?! That'd be a great price for him tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Fantastic!! Ben Haim and Sidwell leave for £5 million each. That's a £10 million profit for the club since we bought both on free transfers last summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 And when you take that into consideration, it means we've basically spent on £12 million on both Bosingwa and Deco - that's very good business if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Chelsea defender Tal Ben Haim is set to accept an offer to move to Manchester City in a £5million deal - and will make a decision in the next 48 hours. Israel international Ben Haim has suffered a nightmare at Stamford Bridge, where new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has told the 26-year-old he is free to go...

EskWeston 696 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Ben Haim is another player who we do need to offload as soon as possible. We need to get our squad as complete as possible as quickly as possible. Ben Haim never worked for us, he just never look comfortbale and you was just waiting for the next mistake every time he played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Completes the trio of average to crap freebies bought by Mourinho in a money-free temper tantrum. Useless, and after that clumsy challenge on Cech..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 £5 million for Ben Haim? Citeh must be desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 To me it always makes more sense to have younger talented players as squad players instead of players like Ben Haim who eventually won't get played because you can't risk them. It seems like Ivanovic will take his place in the squad this season and that is definately an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Shocking buy, at least he's left his mark on Petr Cech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,319 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Looks like its going through.... Chelsea are set to sell Tal Ben Haim to Manchester City for £5m early next week. Independent, various. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
