Never heard of him??

[Daniisco]

God not more rumours. Well I found some info on him.

Chinedu Obasi Ogbuke (born 1st June 1986) is a Nigerian footballer who plays for Lyn.

"Edu", as he is also known in Norway, came to Norway at the same time as his countryman Mikel, and is considered to have a potential to grow to be a world class player. In June 2005 he was also linked with a move to Chelsea. Chinedu impressed in the Under-20 World Championships in Holland in the summer of 2005, and scored both in the semi-final and the final, (which Nigeria lost to Argentina). It is unknown what the future holds for the career of the Nigerians at Lyn. "Edu" scored eight goals in the last eight matches in the 2006 season and was considered as one of the best strikers in the Norwegian Tippeligaen (Norwegian PL).

On August 14, 2006, it was reported in UK newspaper The Times that Ars*nal were interested in signing Ogbuke. At the time he was also linked with CSKA Moscow and Liverpool. On December 20 a transfer deal was announced with Lokomotiv Moscow and Ogbuke was set to move to the Russian side in January. The deal was torpedoed, however, when the president, sporting director and manager of Lokomotiv were all fired six days later.

We maybe after him but I think there is going to be a bidding war as Celtic have joined the chase.

Tottenham are moving for Celta Vigo midfielder Borja Oubina.

Oubina, 25, who has two full Spanish caps, is available following his club's relegation for £3.5m.

[Biggs]

I personally think Tanio is better than this guy. We have the potential to get someone much better

Tottenham boss Martin Jol is eyeing Barcelona winger Ludovic Giuly.

The Mirror says Giuly, 31, further out of the loop at the Nou Camp after the arrivals of Thierry Henry and Yaya Toure, rebuffed an approach from Tottenham and was set for a return to France with Marseilles - but they have lost interest, so Spurs will step in.

Spurs have stepped up their attempts to sign German under 21 international Kevin-Prince Boateng.

Boateng is as well known in Germany for his attacking midfield qualities as he is for his outspoken nature and extensive arm tattoos and has been nick named the 'Ghetto Kid' due to his upbringing in one of Berlin's far from affluent districts.

Spurs are not alone in their admiration of Boateng and reports in Spain claim that Sevilla made a formal £2 million bid for the player only to be told that Hertha Berlin have already received a £5 million bid rumoured to be from Tottenham.

Tottenham are ready to increase their bulging list of promising youngsters at White Hart Lane by making an offer for a Spanish wonderkid.

They have been linked with a move for Gabi Misa, an exciting 16-year-old midfielder who plays for La Liga outfit Celta Vigo.

[manoochy]

hopefully we get boateng. because our midfield can be too soft at times. but it might not go ahead because it was rumoured he might not pass the medical because of past knee complications.

[BAZTHFC]

The Independant paper have today stated that we are going for Petrov to bolster up or left side, hope this is true

C.O.Y.S.
