A host of Premiership clubs are chasing AZ Alkmaar striker Mounir El Hamdaoui.
The striker only moved to AZ last year for £6 million and is now rated at more than double that fee after hitting 14 goals in just 13 games.
Dutch sources say Everton, Arsenal and former employers Tottenham are all seeking talks with AZ about El Hamdaoui’s situation. (tribalfootball.com)
It’s fair to say that since Mounir left White Hart Lane in 2006 he hasn’t looked back and has gone on to become one of the most feared strikers in the Dutch Eredivisie. His incredible strike rate (20 goals in 30 starts) is all the more impressive given he has managed to do so well at a relatively small club. However AZ apparently won’t sell the Moroccan for less than 10m and that seems a little inflated for the 24 year old. Do Tottenham fans think the club should fork out such a fee on a player who was not deemed worthy of a single first team appearance during his previous stint at the club?

it is hard to see arsenal buying any new striker if arsene hold on to bendtner and and i dnt see him paying 12 million for Mounir and find it hard to pay 15 for ben arfta or benzema

hamdoui, he played in the peace cup that spurs won two or three seasons ago, i can tell you he was excellent then, his passing and little flicks, the energy inside the box, absolutly is going to go to the top, its always the same at english clubs, its not ability it if your face fits, tottenham buy good players, then destroy them as best they can, then sell them, look how the fans and the media behaved to GOMES, also whats wrong with ben alnwick, richardo rocha, you have short memories, he had chelseas Drogba in his pocket the whole game, and look how you treat him, hossam ghaly and taarabit, ghaly played excellent for spurs against chelsea, he lost four teeth and still came back for the seconed half, taarabit has the ability he just needs the games, at the end of the day, it dosent matter if your anygood, its if your face fits, all players know this, its the fans who still cant work it out, thats because most football fans are at least a shilling short of a pound, and thats a fact. look at Glen HODDLE, on his England debut scored two and set one up, he waited more then a year for another game, look at the vice president of FIFFA, the biggest crook in the caribean and there are a few out that way, he is a cheap skate conman. And so at the end of the day, as much as i love spurs, we are all steak

Anderson thats pathetic, firstly Taarabt isn’t anywhere near good enough for the Premier League and secondly lets not forget Ghaly’s Tantrum – crying like a baby, i do not disagree that Ghaly is a decent player…but please…he struggled at Derby!! Ben Alnwick, Riccardo Rocha, Prince Boetang…just not good enough..they have all had chances, except for Alnwick and they didnt do well enough. I also do not beleive it is a fact that all football fans are a shilling short of a pound….ridiculous statement. As for El Hamdoaui, decent player, dutch league is very different to premier league..i would like to see someone like Mario Balotelli from Inter or even Aaron from Valencia….world class teenagers not yet on the scene!!

anderson, odd that you know so much about Jack Warner’s criminal lifestyle yet you don’t seem to know his name????
the criminal gossip you have decided to share on this blog came from the Media you so despise for causing Gomes all those problems.
I am all for fighting causes but perhaps a little research wouldn’t go amiss.

RAYPARLOUR, THAT SAYS IT ALL, ray has always been a muppet on and off the park,and as for the vice presedent of FIFA,everyone knows that warner is crook, except of course the odd arsenal fan, then again most of there fans are fuckin odd. jay123, you are exactly the sort of person who my coment was regarding, have you ever been down the lane, another thing jermain defoe was always a good player, the problem was robbie keanes passing is as equal to jermain janus, enough said, tom huddlestone or zakora, whos passing is 100 percent better, they sit on the bench, thats my point, includining jol the past tottenham managment couldnt hold a pissup in brewery, jerry frances, new what he was doing when he sold crouch to QPR, for shillings, even keith berkinshaw, he sold big pat to the arss, and who was manager when cambell went on a free, and thats what i mean buy saying all supporters are fucking mugs, including me, myself and i, so merry christmas to you and all the other mugs, work it out before you reply, look in the mirrow and say your not, a mug,, youll piss yourself laughing

Forget about the past my friend, everybody has past. Mounir is an excelllent soccer player today with no doubt. iIdont care about what happened when he played with the HOTS. I hope that el hamdaoui will go only to the Barca or some other club in the LIGUA instead of going to the Premiership. My friend, with no offense, Spain is theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee place for the best soccer tournament either the English people like it or not .

El hamdaoui is a great player lot more confident than when he played for tottenham bcause his coach actually trusts him, he the best striker in netherland and can be top 10 striker in the premier league, he is a pretty goood striker good assists and he is healthy not like when he played for tottenham when he had 3 different injuries which kept him away from the pitch.
El Hamadoui right choice and i would even pay $12 million for him especially since there is a lot of other teams looking at him like Barcelona, Everton, and Arsenal good luck to el hamadaoui no matter where he goes.

I hope he never goes back to that shit team of tottenham. He can do much better somewhere else in England or Spain or even Italy. Those losers almost ruined his career at tottenham
keb - March 21st, 2009 at 1:57 am
if anything he will go to Arsenal if the gunners want him… childhood buddy of v. Persie…

el hamdaoui have a heart, that what most striker don’t have. i hope he goes to bayern minchen with frank rebery or stay with az for the next year

What a waste of time guys, will you stop preaching. Mounir is an adult and not only that I’m positive that he can decide for himself . Stay with AZ or go is nobody’s business.
