Ben Haim turns to Uri Geller over Chelsea, Newcastle choice
tribalfooball.com – June 10, 2007

Bolton Wanderers defender Tal Ben Haim is taking advice from legendary spoon bender Uri Geller about whether to join Newcastle United or Chelsea!

The Sunday Mirror says Ben Haim, 25, is torn between the two – so has called in close pal Geller, who gives him positive thinking classes, to make up his mind.

Berkshire-based Geller, 60, said: “I’ve spoken to Tal and yes, we did talk about moving – although what we discussed is confidential.

“There are rumours about Newcastle and Chelsea and Tal is now making his final decision at his discretion.

“He is an open-minded person and ready for a new challenge and new situation. He has deep-seated determination and motivation and I’ve no doubt that, if he goes to Chelsea, he’ll be as good as the players there.”
