Spurs sold Crouch (£10M), Palacios (£8M) and Hutton, loaned out Jenas and Bentley and brought in Parker. How much could Bolton have been demanding for Cahill that they couldnt pay? Or, rather, wouldnt pay?
They offered 12m

which for a player who they could sign for free in 6 months isn't bad

I wouldn't have paid much more than that, when the team is fit he isn't an upgrade over a partnership of Gallas/King, King/Dawson, or Gallas/Dawson

Dawson struggles without those two because playing with Kaboul neither have pace so Cahill would help there, but in reality he still would have been 3rd/4th choice.

Would rather wait a year and sign someone like Shawcross or Kjaar
