Manchester City are targeting Tottenham pair Paul Robinson and Jermain Defoe according to several papers.Juande Ramos has already told Jermain Defoe that he can leave the club and after an apparent bust-up between Ramos and Robinson after Robinson was dropped for the Carling Cup tie with Arsenal in midweek, he is said to be interested in a move away from the club.
Ramos is on the look out for a new keeper and that, in many people's opinions, is the end of Robinson at Spurs.
City boss Sven Goran Eriksson worked with Robinson when he was England manager and he is said to be keen to bring him to the City of Manchester stadium.
Eriksson also worked with Defoe when national team coach and after Defoe was told he could leave the club by Ramos, City were on of the first teams on many peoples lips. Defoe scored three times for Sven with England and has scored over 40 goals for Tottenham.
It is taught City will bid as much as £15 million for the pair. As a City fan myself, I would be happy with Sven signing Defoe but I'm personally not a fan of Robinson's. City already have a top class keeper in Joe Hart and I feel we should stick with him.
