Spurs Offer Kanoute
By Jason Blog
For THBN
We can confirm that Daniel Levy is in talks with Everton, Manchester City and Birmingham so as to offload Kanoute for around £5 million.
We haven't been given a reason as to why Martin Jol wants to sell Fredi, but we assume that another striker may be installed if Kanoute is sold to one of the above clubs.
Tottenham have been strongly linked with Feyenoord's prolific striker Dirk Kuyt, but Jol himself said that he's not interested as we already have four strikers. Martin never said that he wouldn't be interested if he was only left with three.
Our mighty head coach has always gone along with the fact that he wants four strikers vying for the two places up-front. If Kanoute is to leave the club in a £5 million switch, then we can expect another striker to replace him.
Many of you have said that we should give El Hamdaoui a chance to prove himself, but we believe that Jol will opt for a more experienced striker.
Kuyt offers the experience of a proven goal-scorer and would fit into our young squad. The only downside is that Feyenoord have said that Dirk Kuyt will not leave the club for less than 18 million Euro's, approximately £12.5 million.
Daniel Levy will not sanction such a bid. Rumours circulated that Spurs had tabled a £14 million bid for Real Madrid new boy Julio Baptista. The truth was that Levy enquired about the Brazilian beast but never made a bid after he was told by the Sevilla president that in order to lure Baptista away, Spurs would need to table a bid of around 17 million Euro's.
If Kanoute does leave the club, then we can expect a new striker to be brought in by either the end of this transfer window, or in the January window. It is highly unlikely that Spurs will pay the asking price of £12 million for Kuyt though.

We have received two reports from our sources stating that Tottenham Hotspur have offered their Mali International striker Fredi Kanoute to three Premiership clubs.
We can confirm that Daniel Levy is in talks with Everton, Manchester City and Birmingham so as to offload Kanoute for around £5 million.

It's not often a player of that standard become availble, when they do you have to try and get them.
Is this from the same source that said there was no press conference scheduled for yesterday ?
You call this news ?
WHERE ?
Jol Was The Significant Factor In Davids Joining"
Doesn't ickle Owen want Euro footy this season? I think we'll go the the flying Dutchman...
THBN im sorry for being a nob this morning.
Me and my lawyers are happy with your apology and now wish to put the matter to rest and move swiftly forward.
That Ok ?
£5m - £6m is good business for Kanoute. Add a little bit extra to the pot for Kuyt and we'd be off to the races!
also 68 games and 49 goals for Feyenoord!
Dont get Kuyt, the dutch league is easy, kezman all over again. Break the bank and get Owen.
Does anyone know of kanoute is training today. Rumour he is at Everton for a medical?????????
Kezman would have done well for any team apart from Chelsea.
Say hed gone to a charlton etc he would have been a legend,
You dont just turn into a crap player overnight.
It takes weeks - ha ha ha
he is v good and would love playing at the white hart lane.
he loves nodding in good crosses and has heard wonderful things about your speedy wingers
A Source said.
"he (jol) is going all out for him"
"He has 12m to spend"
Dont know about the kanoute story but if you add it all up it makes sense,
If its true then we are a very lucky club because
A.kuyt is a proven striker in a strongish league.
B.Getting ANY club to part with 5m for freddie is the Bonus of the season (they need Edgars glasses)
C.Cant think of one but A+B are eneough.
Anon 2:04 Well.. I didn't feel let down all that much. Yes, it was a bit funny how it was announced / handled, and we are ALWAYS linked to some / all of the big-time players, season after season. But... this time we actually GOT ONE!!! :)
I just love what we're doing this pre-season, and it all bodes well for the new season. It's giving those nomads down the road and everyone else something to think about...
I've been searching for ages this poster called "anon" and it's just struck me who he is.
luv

Any thoughts?
THBN Team
just look how robbie keane shouts for the ball, throws his arms up when he doesnt get it...thats passion (it also can be irrating for other players..but at least he wants it) hes always looking for the ball, freddi, couldnt care less if he had the ball or if he didnt he looks so lathargic, and lazy - the skill he had 2-3 years ago has also gone...hes a shadow of the player he was 3 years ago, so whats he doing at a premiership challenging club (thats us!)?
feck off freddi.
see you all on saturday...does anyone know if davids is playing??
oh yeah, and that JK guy a week ago said owen was coming...
whats up with that???
Football questions guys!
THBN Team
Im at stringies with marty and the levymeister btw those hours.
heres a football question
Is Rachelspur good at football ?
Please tell me why the site time is running 2 hours ahead of real time.
Good engine ?
We don't know why Levy won't spend big. No one has actually told us why he won't.
We know that the reason he brought in Arnesen was so that he wouldn't spend the big bucks on a player that turned out to be a flop (Rebrov).
His policy is actually good.
THBN Team
as for kuyt, how can any spurs fan not know who he is after his performance against us in the kappa cup last summer?
THBN Team
you can't say Edman have failed... u r just being stupid
Built like a brick outhouse and didnt stop running got a v nice first touch !!
Not worth 12 mill tho !!
Kanoute is bothered it's just, much like Carrick he plays like a Swan. Graceful and calm but does the work quietly and without fuss below the surface. His link up play last season was different class...

we do have the right to moan and bitch about spurs if we want.
Last time I checked free speech was allowed,
I thought places like this were for opinions and views
I hate the him, went to win trophies did he? what a wanker.
Althoigh saying that Jimmy Carr is very funny.
Well go browse somewhere else then you CockJock
he comes from surinam
he plays from tottenham (this bit I have stolen from previous posts)
he plays in centre mid
and now he is a yid!
....................
Its
HAM-LET
He also brings excitement and a real sense of hope for us long suffering Tottenham fans that Levy and Jol really are serious in the quiet revolution that has been taking place at Spurs. Davids coming on a free is also amazing when you consider that Viera went for £14M, Gerrard valued at £30m+, Parker £6.5M and others who in my poinion either do not come close to the quality of Davids or any where near the value for money that Spurs have obviously got.
To cap off, I hope that rumours of Kanoute and Keane moving on do come to fruition. Kanoute is brilliant on his day - but that is exactly his problem - you never know what kind of per…
I can't wait until next season. All Reid haters will be eating their words!
THBN Team
Yep, twins I believe, Jimmy was born with the talant, while Stephen was born with a small dick, no talent and no loyalty.
Have Reidy and El Ham-doui played together ????
You know where this is going right ?
COYS!!!
Question for Bannister
Do you write for the Daily Mail ?
I can't wait until next season. All Reid haters will be eating their words!

Cheers chaps, on that note Stephen Carr is not a spurs player so can I reiterate my point that he is a wanker.
At least there's two Kanoute fans on the site...
SUBWAY
When we have many sources confirming what the other has said then it is normally true.
Sometimes it's the agents of the player that creates them, but in this case we are not 100% sure that Kanoute's agent would start a rumour like this as Kanoute is happy at Spurs.
We are sure that if we were to sign a striker, then it would definitely be Kuyt as Jol is a fine supporter of this player.
We have had no other sources on other strikers, just on Kuyt, as have some other sites.

THBN Team
Hang around.
God only knows what he would do to me once I had my say.
Heres an idea.
Lets pretend that Davids hasnt signed ?
Then we can fukk around and be abusive (in a nice way Herr THBN?
Hey
OFFICIAL = press con today 4.30 ?
Reckon its for Davids or what
Regards
THBN Team
Kanoute is fucking crap, i hate the lanky fuck
you sound gay
I'm totally agreed that kanoute is grap. If we want to play a big role in the coming league and maybe a european spot we need a 4th quality striker and I think defoe, mido and keane fit, but kanoute is not good enough. So let's sell him and buy in the january transfer windoy a very good striker like kuyt or another one. lets seeee
COME ON SPURS
Joking ear - what do you think of that lanky fuck kanoute
Any news on his departure anyone?
I hope (for his sake and for Spurs' of course) that King's groin injury isn't too bad... With the fragile Sol C out and Rio acting a fool, King Leds could get in some intern'l games partnering Terry for the Lions! I think our Ledders has more character in his big toe than Ferdinand has in his entire body and he has more talent in his nob than that Scum-defector Campbell has in his bald head!
Who do you think are England's best two central defenders at the moment?
Waddle's Mullet
sell the prick
WM
WM
Kanoute being a lanky prick,
Reid being a fat shit,
Routledge being great,
Wenger being a pedo,
or Topyid being homosexual?
WM
If and when we get into Europe the introduction of Keane on 60mins will tear up defences. He may not be as prolific as we would hope but he is lethal versus ANY defence as he proved with Leeds. I would NEVER sell someone who can score the great goals that he does and he is happy at THFC or at least says so(I know!!.. so did scumbell)
I'd be gutted if he left, I just mastered the roly poly as well.
Who's starting up front?
Yids
COYS!!
