£8 Million Tag Slapped on Robinson

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been told that Tottenham Hotspur will not budge for less than £8 million if he were to make an audacious attempt for Paul Robinson in the summer.

Robinson has been the subject of a transfer to many top clubs across Europe including Barcelona and Arsenal and they will undoubtedly challenge the Red Devils for the player's signature in the summer.

Spurs will be looking to generate cash from their England international 'keeper following his move to White Hart Lane for a mere £1.5 million from Leeds United last year.

Martin Jol and Frank Arnesen are constantly searching the globe for promising talent and will not doubt have already concocted a list of possible replacements for in-between the sticks.

Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson will definitely swoop for a goalkeeper in the summer as both Roy Carroll and Ricardo are walking out of the exit door in the summer.

As transfer resources will be very low, the Scotsman may offer a few players to Spurs in an exchange deal. Phil Neville, Kleberson, Louis Saha, David Bellion and Liam Miller all have question marks over their heads and are looking for regular first-team action.
