When a footballer is photographed wearing another team's shirt, it usually means only one thing: He is sending a direct message that he is looking for a move and wouldn't mind being on their shopping list.
But when Georges-Kevin N'Koudou was snapped wearing a Chelsea shirt on holiday last week, no one jumped to that conclusion. The Spurs winger has struggled to make much impression at White Hart Lane -- his appearances limited to a few cameos from the substitutes' bench -- and the idea that Chelsea might make a bid for him seemed laughable. Instead the photo was seen for what it was: A naive blunder.
