Tottenham target Diego Forlan has no intention of quitting Atletico Madrid to return to the Premier League - with any club.

"Tottenham are a club who are going in the right direction, but I have no interest in joining the Premier League with any club. For a start, Spain is much hotter and also it is my home now.

"We have a great team at Atletico and next season we will be aiming for a top-four finish. We have some very exciting young players and I am excited for the season. I will never play in England again, but I still actually look back with fond memories at some moments."

He's being polite. They treated him really badly in England.
And of course the English media "if you can't play in the Premiership, you suck"

You can thank everyone's good buddy Fergie. He treated Forlan like a piece of dog crap because he was doing the 'nobody Uruguayan' a favour by allowing him to play for such a majestic and storied club.

Basically, Fergie blamed Forlan for being wildly inconsistent when Fergie himself would rarely ever give the guy a half decent run of games to get comfortable.

10 Goals in 63 games for Man U over 4 years.
54 Goals in 106 games for Villareal over 3 years.
66 Goals in 102 games for Atletico over 3 years.

Once again showing that Ferguson is only a magician with a chequebook.
