Tottenham's Tom Huddlestone and Gareth Bale targets for Fulham
Neither player has started a match for Redknapp's side since the club were knocked out of the Uefa Cup six weeks ago, prompting speculation about their futures. [LNB]Huddlestone was a regular starter when Redknapp took the reigns from Juande Ramos, but he has fallen down the pecking order since Jermaine Jenas returned from injury and Wilson Palacios was signed.

[LNB]"He has the fantastic playing ability like Hoddle, to spray the ball all over the park," Redknapp told the Times . [LNB]"If he is as good as Glenn he will be a great player as Glenn was fantastic. [LNB]"I understand his frustration [but] sometimes he has to boss a game more. [LNB]"But he has to keep getting the ball and sometimes he does not demand the ball enough and he does not take the game by the scruff of the neck. [LNB]"I said this morning to him, he has to get at people. If they don't give it to him, he has to tell them 'give me the ball, I am a better passer than you. You get it, give it to me and I will deliver the passes'." [LNB]Bale meanwhile is reportedly struggling with not being handed a specific position. The 19-year-old claims he prefers the left-back position but many think him better suited to a wing back role. [LNB]Regardless of where he plays, the Times suggest that even if Redknapp wanted to sell him off the club's hierarchy would prevent it from happening. [LNB]Back in January, Middlesbrough were eager to sign Bale as part of a deal which would have seen Stewart Downing move to White Hart Lane, but Tottenham refused the notion. [LNB]
