Corluka has no Spurs regrets

Defender Vedran Corluka insists he has no regrets about swapping Manchester City for Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day.
The Croatia international left Eastlands on the same day the club announced an impeding takeover and massive cash injection from a Middle East consortium.
They also secured the signing of Brazil star Robinho for a British record transfer fee of £33.5million.
But despite heading out of the Premier League's latest financial powerhouse when a previous deal was resurrected on deadline day, Corluka claims he is happy with his new surroundings.
"It was a big relief because lots of things happened in the last two or three weeks," he said.
"First the club decided to sell me, but then they stopped the transfer.
"I didn't expect that City would let me go, but they did and to a good club, a big club, so I am happy.
"Everything is not just money. Tottenham is a great team and we have the squad to get into the Champions League.
"My chances of getting there are the same as if I had stayed at City."
