Tottenham complete signing of former Chelsea striker and they certainly aren’t finished yet

Tottenham have this afternoon completed the signing of Monaco striker Eidur Gudjohnsen on a six-month loan deal.
It was reported earlier this week that the former Chelsea man had agreed terms on a move to Tottenham’s London rivals West Ham, however Harry Redknapplooks to have got his man with just days to go before the transfer window shuts.
New West Ham co-owner David Sullivan critics Tottenham’s perusal of the 31-year old yesterday saying : “We thought we had a deal and the player had even had a medical. We then heard that Tottenham were trying to speak to the player. I can’t say I am happy about it but I believe in Karma and what goes around, comes around.”
Redknapp now has five top strikers at his disposal, however it is thought that Roman Pavlyuchenkowill be on his way out of White Hart Lane in the coming days, with Birmingham likely to be his destination.
Portsmouth’s Younes Kaboul is also understood to be close to re-joining Tottenham. The 24-year old defender has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs during this window including one of Tottenham’s main rivals for 4th spot this season, Manchester City.
Kaboul is likely to cost Tottenhamsomewhere near the £8 million mark and to be honest, I don’t feel that represents value for money. He is a decent defender, however I strongly believe he’s not Spurs material. There is no doubt Redknapp needs a new defender, with the likes of Ledly King and Jonathan Woodgate rarely fully fit but I am sure they could have done a lot better than Kaboul.
What do you think? Comments below please.

Kaboul is a good acquisition he should never have been sold in the first place and if he rediscovers the form he showed under redknapp at pompey then he will prove to be a bargain in the current climate (smalling to mancs @7mil?). he is also versatile and can step in to midfield altogether a good buy if we manage to pull it off. as for we could have done alot better, who? Kjaer have you ever seen him play? upwards of 11mil untried in the premiership remember milenko acimovic was also touted as one of the best young players in europe when we signed him now he is just known as SHIT.
