The End For Woodgate?
Former Toon skipper Jonathan Woodgate could play his last match of a troubled spell at Tottenham today. Harry Redknapp has admitted that he is no closer to deciding whether to offer the injury-plagued defender a new contract when his current one expires this summer. Woodgate signed in an £8million deal from Middlesbrough in 2008 and was a regular in Redknapp's line-up before he was hit by a serious groin injury that kept him out of action for 15 months. The defender, who has been capped eight times by England, expressed his joy at returning against AC Milan in February, but his comeback was shortlived after it emerged that he had suffered an adductor muscle injury in the same match. The former Real Madrid man has been dogged by injuries throughout his career but he is now back in full training and could feature in Spurs' last match of the season against Birmingham on Sunday. Redknapp: "It's a difficult one with Woody. His contract is up and he hasn't played for two years. "If we don't keep him then he is worth a gamble for someone on a pay-as-you-play deal because if you can get him fit you will have one of the best centre-halves anywhere. "If I wasn't at Tottenham I would take a gamble on him. He could be a fantastic signing because he is training this morning (Friday) and he feels fit for the first time in two years."
