Analysing the Transfer Gossip – July 2: Part One

Tottenham want to sell midfielder Tom Huddlestone, 26, with Sunderland considering a £5m bid for the midfielder.

Full story: London Evening Standard What’s the story? Huddlestone has the talent to be a starter and has had a few runs as the main man at Spurs; but with Paulinho coming in to run the show at White Hart Lane, he’s not going to see the time he needs.Does it make sense? This doesn’t seem like a Di Canio signing. Huddlestone is technical, but not the hardest working. Di Canio seems to prioritise endeavour over everything else.Is the price right? Yes, £5m is good value.Will it happen? 2/10 – I think he’ll go, but not to Sunderland. Perhaps Newcastle if they sell Cabaye. Perhaps Stoke.
