Why Would Gary Cahill Go to Spurs?

With the transfer window closed and the next one three months away, you`d hope that speculation regarding player moves would be put on the back burner. Alas it isn`t so, at least when it comes to Bolton`s Gary Cahill. Tottenham Hotspur are the latest club to be linked with the young defender.

It seems inevitable that Cahill will move to a Champions League outfit at some point. That rules out Spurs.

Despite the usual guff from the media claiming that glory days are just around the corner for the boys from White Hart Lane, they are as far away from achieving their goals as ever. Two embarrassing defeats against the Sky Four this season is proof of that.

Since Bolton returned to the Premier League, Spurs have finished 8th, 11th, 5th, 5th, 9th, 14th, 10th and 8th. It`s not a great return given the level of spending. The best they can hope for is a place in the Europa League – a ludicrous competition.

Some might claim that a move to a more fashionable side will improve Cahill`s England chances. There is some truth in that. What else would explain Jermaine Jenas`s continued inclusion in the national squad?

But Cahill doesn`t need a leg up. He`s already on the radar and whilst John Terry and Rio Ferdinand are rightly first choice centre backs, he`s already as good, if not better than the other contenders, especially the ridiculously over rated Matthew Upson. Cahill also has age on his side. His time will come, whatever club he plays for.

When Cahill does leaves, as seems inevitable, he`ll do so with the best wishes of Bolton fans. So far he`s behaved impeccably and signed a new contract in the summer with little fuss. At only 23 he has time to wait for the right club. That club isn`t Tottenham Hotspur.
