I WAS only joking when I suggested last week that, after taking Jermain Defoe and Pascal Chimbonda back to White Hart Lane, Harry Redknapp might rescue another Spurs exile – Robbie Keane – from his Anfield misery.

I also warned Harry, who saw his struggling side beaten by Wanderers at the weekend, to watch his back, just in case his Tottenham bosses go the whole hog and get their old manager, Martin Jol, back.

Well, Keane made it back to the Lane on transfer deadline day. . . so look out Harry. You’ve been warned.
