I see that Rebrov is probably going to be available on a free in January. IMO decent player, crap team.
Is he worth a gamble as a cheap(ish)fix to the striker problem?

Crap players don't score 101 goals in 135 appearances for Kiev, and even in a shite side like Spurs, 16 in 48 (27 of those as sub)
I think he MAY do OK, given the chance.

As I pointed out, 16 goals. A goal every 3 games, including the sub appearances. IMO not bad for a player who got off to a poor start, but has hardly had a game since. It's clear Hoddle does't fancy him, but then again, wasn't he tha one who reckoned Owen wasn't a natural finisher! Obviously not a bad judge of a striker!

Lets face it, Ronaldo would look sh*t in a Spurs shirt.
He's got pace and (when his confidence returns) a great eye for goal (though I'd prefer a 'foot' for goal of course )
The only snag might be wages (£30k), mind you, it's got to be negotiable, if the alternative is returning to Russia, where half the pay seems to be in lard, and the other half is you don't get shot if you take the lard!
Snap him up I say.</strong><hr></blockquote>

Crap side, Crap manager. Couldn't see a striker in a box of matches.

... unless the striker is genuine Spurs material like Morientes and Rivaldo

While I find his performances in the CL more relevant than those in the PL. He's a very good player whose confidence evaporated at Spurs, no wonder eh? He needs a fresh start: in a different league at a club more suited to his abilities.

He's a spurs reject that every spurs fan I know thinks is shit, because he has been unadulterated rubbish since he joined them. I don't care what he did before he came into the Premier League, he's useless in it. I've yet to see any even half plausible link with him either, he was certainly not a candidate over the summer.
