Spurs linked with former striker as a Berbatov replacement: Forget Arshavin, THIS is the guy Juande wants!

All the talk about Russian striker Andrei Arshavin going to Tottenham is getting a bit old. So let’s add a new striker name to the rumour mill as a potential Berbatov replacement, shall we? This former Tottenham ace would be well worth the transfer sum to bring him back to White Hart Lane.
Enjoy the banter in the comments? Then check out the new COS Forum!
Juande Ramos is exploring the possibility of bringing former Tottenham striker Fredi Kanoute back to White Hart Lane as he prepares for the departure of Dimitar Berbatov to Manchester United.
Spurs will finally sell Berbatov to Manchester United and Ramos has urged sporting director Damien Comolli to sign the Sevilla striker.
Kanoute worked with Ramos when he was in Sevilla and he is among a list of strikers who could replace Berbatov at White Hart Lane. (Daily Mail)
Ok, now this is the kind of striker Juande wants back in his squad! Both Kanoute and Ramos know each other very well from their days at Sevilla, as well as Kanoute knowing the lay of the land at The Lane from his time at Tottenham in 2005. Unlike Arshavin who is unproven in the Premier League; Kanoute has the pace and the power to make an instant impact at his former club. Plus, with Ramos having ties to his former Spanish club, things might be a whole lot easier in the transfer negotiations department. Surely this has to be a player Spurs’ supporters would love to see come back home, right?
What do Tottenham supporters think about the link to Kanoute? Do you think he’d be a better option than Arshavin?

Ramses - August 14th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Arshavin and Huntelaar or Santa Cruz !

Yes Ramses Arshavin and Huntlehaar….Go get please Mr Levy.
Wolfe Yid - August 14th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Arshavin, Huntelaar, central defender, and a defensive midfielder… i here Vinny sideways, I mean Samways, is thinking of coming out of retirement, maybe we could resign him along with Kanoute….lol

I said when we dumped him that he was one season away from his best. Then he went and became the top scorer in Spain. I think if he’d of stayed with us he’d have done the same for us.
spurs4life - August 14th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
santa cruz and arshavin but if not to save
money kanoute arshavin
kennym - August 14th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
You tosser…if you knew anything Ramos and seville are at logger heads and are currently suing him for 3 million euro!….yeah that makes them real eager to deal with us…..they already said they would not do business with spurs when we approached them for capel…..you moron….don’t you even know what i going on for the last six months!
Like I said….tosser!
hertsyids - August 14th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
the club have stated, there not interested in him…..
adgey - August 14th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
please not kanoute!!! what a wasted that would be selling berbatov and keane and buying sum1 worse
Please buy arshaving better than both of them!
sort it out

Kennym: Calling someone a tosser (twice) and a moron does not make your comments any more credible. If you knew anything about the business of football you would know that all rules get rewritten when it suits. Regardless of what rag you got your information from, it is certainly not “what is going on”, just your ignorance of the fact that newspapers rarely tell the truth.
Don’t believe everything you read and quit being so narrow minded.

Not sure Kanoute would be a good idea… Would be funny to seem him clumsing about again on a regular basis but probably not for the best of the team..
And I doubt that transfer negotiations with Sevilla would be easier because their president is still in a piss with us about the whole Ramos poaching thing
Yidoooooo - August 14th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Arshavin, Huntelaar, Corluka, and maybe Xabi Alonso??
just a spurs fan - August 14th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
yidoooooo u retard were not going to get alonso stick with modric and jenas
Yidoooooo - August 14th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
lol, I find that the use of rude or derogative words totally unnecessary. Xabi Alonso might not be what Spurs require, I was just making a suggestion! Do you have faith in Jenas and Modric then? Do you not think that we require a defensive midfielder? What about Arshavin, Huntelaar and Corluka coming to Spurs?

Did you see any of Kanoute’s performances when he was at White Hart Lane? Can’t recall that he had power or pace. I just seem to remember his lack of effort in half the games he played.
Shannon - August 14th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
To start hoping to get Kanoute in now, after we forced him out ( he didn’t want to go!) and paying much more for him than the 4-million pounds we got for him would just be the most ridiculous scenario imaginable. I swear, everybody would be laughing at us, and I wouldn’t blame them. Of course, I could take the ridicule because I’ve always rated Kanoute.
JD - August 14th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
FECK KANOUTE HE WAS A LAZY SO AND SO WHEN AT THE LANE , ITS HUNTELAAR , ARSHAVIN , AND CORLUKA NOTHING ELSE WILL BE TOLERATED AND IT WILL BE TREATED WITH THE DISRESPECT IT DESERVES ! DO NOT UNDO ALL THE GOOD THAT HAS BEEN DONE ANY TOP PLAYER WORTH HIS SALT CAN SEE THAT ITS GOING TO BRILLIANT TO BE PLAYING AND SUPPORTING SPURS , REALLY EXCITING TIMES ARE AHEAD SO HAVE THE VISION AND FORESIGHT TO COMPLETE THE JOB BY SIGNING THE VERY BEST THAT IS AVAIABLE .

Why don’t we bid on Santa Cruz?????? He’ s significantly cheaper than the other forwards we’ve been looking at, is a great player, and has youth on his side!!!!!!!! At under 15m a true bargain
jack - August 14th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
why are you saying that ramos has ties to the club therefore the deal will be easier to get on the way… seville hate us and their chairman thinks levy is a massive hypocrite, if the ties between the 2 clubs were that good we would have diego capel flying down the left wing by now
spurfect one - August 14th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
SCORPION
kennym although agreed with the cussing, has a point its well known that seville are looking for ramos to pay compensation for his departure and will not do business with spurs till this issue is resolved.

yidoooooo arshavin is coming.. not sure about huntelaar ye we need a defensive midfielder alonso is shit we should get veloso if were getting anyone.corluka may come if man city will let him go.modric and jenas or huddelstone would be great together.modric is brillant he will have great first season and we don’t huntelaar if berba stays. sorry i called u a retard.

spursmuaythai - August 14th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
spurs have shown no intrest in huntalaar or santa cruze to my knowledge!! why? id say fuck asharvin, maybe he is the next rebrov to cut it in the pl. either of these two and corluka and sell berba and ill be happy! i dont care how good a player is if you dont wear that shirt with pride i dont want you in it for 1!
spursmuaythai - August 14th, 2008 at 10:38 pm

Giler - August 14th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
Wrong i for 1 would not like to see him back at the lane. asharvin is a far better prospect imo

the article is flawed from start to finish…including what everyone else has already said…. kanoute is also not a new name linked to us has been since ramos took charge…….please guys try and get your facts right when writing
