DISBELIEVING David Moyes has slammed an “insulting” offer from Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp for Everton skipper Phil Neville.

Redknapp, who was tracking Neville throughout last month’s transfer window, made official his interest by tabling a bid of £250,000 for the 34-year-old over the weekend.

It was instantly dismissed by Everton, who were then further flabbergasted when Tottenham returned two days later with a second offer that only doubled their original approach.

The Londoners, who in between offered £25million to Newcastle United for Andy Carroll, eventually returned before the transfer deadline last night with a £1.5m offer – also rejected.

And Moyes admits he cannot remember a more surprising bid during his career.

“We have had an offer from Tottenham of £250,000 which we received on Saturday afternoon,” said the Goodison manager. “Then it was upped to £500,000 on Monday morning.

“I think that is insulting. It was £250,000 on Saturday afternoon when I was leaving the ground and they upped it to £500,000 on Monday morning. That was £250,000 now and £250,000 paid in a year’s time.

“There is no reaction to that. I think an offer like that for Everton’s captain is a disrespectful offer to the club and I think it is a disrespectful offer for a player of Phil’s qualities.”
