Spurs defender Woodgate.

It’s always a shame when a home town player leaves his hometown club, not least when he only joined permanently a matter of months previously, is your favourite player in your position and your idol (even down to hairstyle and choice of hair bands!)

So Woodgate is off to Spurs, was he just gutted since he’s not going to get back in the team over Huth and Wheats?? Very probably. But it’s all a bit sudden, from him “living the dream” only a few months ago to suddenly wanting to go back to Newcastle, Spurs or change his nationality to French and join Arsenal.

Anyway, sod him. Just means that Alves can embarrass him when the Brazilian signs on Wednesday. Hopefully.
