Tottenham face Birmingham competition for Huntelaar

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sun, 11/08/2009 - 11:02

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is again keen on AC Milan striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

The News of the World says it is almost certain he will be put up for sale in the January window - probably at a cut-price £12million.

It has been assumed Harry Redknapp was in the pole position to sign the 26-year-old, who has yet to score a competitive goal for his Italian club.

Spurs were close to a deal in the summer but Huntelaar preferred Milan. Assuming Redknapp can unload Roman Pavlyuchenko, Spurs will be back in again.

But he faces stiff competition. Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and Liverpool's Rafa Benitez have admired Huntelaar in the past, and Birmingham's new owners would see him as a prestige signing, even if he is unlikely to be Alex McLeish's cup of tea.

You clearly play a lot of football manager, I bet you have never seen nearly all of those youth players play or even heard of.

Huntelaar could be the ACN cover we are looking for

Our other january signings should go...
1. Aguero or Pato and bring Franco di Santo and Michael Mancienne back
2. Villa, if we can get silva and/or mata as well, if not then i think we should get quaresma back

and/or Quaresma
and definately Alan Dzagoev (did u see him against Man U!)

and/or Raul Meireles
and/or Zvjezdan Misimovic
and/or Mesut Ozil
and/or Jack Rodwell
6. An ACN backup, Heskey (cheaper option)
Agbonlahor (better option)
Lavezzi (good option, memories of Zola)

Hulk
Chan Siu Ki (chinese merch option)
Eljero Elia
Miralem Pjanic
Pavlyuchenko
Giampaolo Pazzini
Huntelaar
7. Patrick Vieira
8. A strong defender, Gary Cahill, Maicon, Capdevila, Javi Garcia
