Going off on a tangent, Tottenham have confirmed that Tom Huddlestone is in talks with Fulham after the club made a bid of £5 million for his services.
Huddlestone is a very good player, has years of proven EPL experience yet was only 26 last month, and would bring a much needed physical presence to our midfield. How come Brendan is not trying to hijack the deal? Compare it with £15 million for Joe Allen, £20 million each for Downing and Henderson... and weep. I'd also select him over Lucas every time.
