What They're Saying:

For those that thought Tottenham was done with transfers, that doesn't appear to be the case. According to Sky Sports, Harry Redknapp plans on making more moves in the final days of the transfer window:

"

We're working hard, the chairman's [Daniel Levy] on a couple of transfers at the moment.

I love Joe [Cole], I'm a big fan of Joe but I haven't spoken to Kenny [Dalglish] about him.

He's a good a player and I still think he's a kid we could get going again.

"

On the other side of things, Nasri appears happy to join Manchester City. According to Fox News, Nasri has said:

"

I have heard people say I have moved for money. I make a good living at City, that is true, but I am 24 years old and I have reached a turning point in my career and it was important that I joined a club with ambition. I believe I have more chance of winning titles at Manchester City than at Arsenal.

When did I make my decision? Early in July, when we returned for pre-season. I told the coach (Arsene Wenger) that I wanted to leave.

Is it a risk joining Manchester City? You have to take risks in life. I am not afraid to do so.

"

Manchester City 2
Tottenham Hotspur 1
