LOCAL gUARDIAN:

Spurs linked with Birmingham winger

Comment​

Olivier Kapo
REPORTS in the media have linked Tottenham with a £6million move for Birmingham City winger Olivier Kapo.
With manager Juande Ramos thought to be planning a huge overhaul at White Hart Lane this summer, Kapo is the latest name to have been thrown into the hat after an impressive season at St Andrew's.
The Frenchman arrived from Juventus last summer for £3million and has ranked among the Blues' top performers this year in their battle for survival, and his form has not gone unnoticed.
With speculation surrounding the future of Aaron Lennon refusing to go away, Ramos is looking to reinforce the wings, and Kapo appears to fit the bill.
Croatian Luka Modric is already on board at Spurs, and Kapo may be lured by the prospect of regular top flight action.
However, the 27-year-old insists he is happy in the Midlands, and sees his future with the Birmingham.

"I signed for three years for Birmingham and I want to stay here," Kapo told the Birmingham Mail. "I like it here. My family like Birmingham. For me, in my head, I am staying here."

eatsleep.com reports this as well. Strange link, but good player IMO. Worth a punt to be sure, but his quotes don't seem overly keen. Relegation looms for them and he was only 3 mil last summer. :shrug:

He had that fantastic performance in the opening game of this season v Chelsea didn't he?

Haven't really seen anything else of him ... never saw our two defeats to them and I don't exactly go down to the pub to see Birmingham play to put it that way.

Ho hum

Not bad but at 27 he's unlikely to improve so no thanks

I think this is total bull tbh. The article appears to be based on the idea that if we lose Lennon it will be the player's choice - not the club's, which is bollocks. IF Lennon goes it will be because his form in the first 2 thirds of the season wasn't good enough and Ramos will look for a better player to replace him, i.e someone from Spain who Ramos prob spotted while he was still with Sevilla. We won't let Lennon go just so we can replace him with someone who's had half a dozen decent games for a soon-to-be Championship side.

Local news sources at this time of year are full of crap and should be ignored (even more so than the national press).

They quote him as saying "I signed for three years for Birmingham and I want to stay here," Kapo told the Birmingham Mail. "I like it here. My family like Birmingham. For me, in my head, I am staying here."

I really smell a rat. Nobody likes B'ham.
