Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp faced with surplus of goalkeeping riches
The Tottenham manager signed Carlo Cudicini from Chelsea in the transfer window and though he initially displaced under-fire Heurelho Gomez, the Brazilian is back in the first team and set to continue at Sunderland on Saturday. [LNB]'We don't have a number one,' said Redknapp. 'Both are excellent goalkeepers. It was a difficult decision to leave Gomez out initially. I put Carlo Cudicini in, but then it was very difficult leaving him out.'

He was also cup-tied for the Carling Cup final, against Manchester United, and so Gomez played against the Ukrainians and United. [LNB]Redknapp was expected to recall Cudicini against Middlesbrough in midweek but kept faith with Gomez and he kept a second successive clean sheet in the 4-0 win at White Hart Lane. [LNB]'They are both top, top goalkeepers and good professionals and whoever is in form is the one I will pick,' added Redknapp. [LNB]'Gomez did well against United and Middlesbrough, keeping clean sheets, so he's in the team at the moment. But Carlo did a great job for me as well.' [LNB]Spurs could have Ledley King back at the Stadium of Light where a win would take them into the top half of the table for the first time this season. [LNB]'It would be nice to finish in the top half especially when you consider where we were when I arrived, with just two points from eight games,' added Redknapp, then warned: 'We've had a good run but we're still not out of the woods. [LNB]'Ask any manager from Steve Bruce and Wigan downwards and he would tell you he needs one, two, three, maybe even five wins.' [LNB]
