Roeder: Duff bid will fall on deaf ears

NEWCASTLE boss Glenn Roeder has warned Tottenham that any approach for Damien Duff will fall on deaf ears.

Republic of Ireland international Duff is closing on a return to fitness and reports are suggesting Spurs chief Martin Jol may test Newcastle’s resolve to keep the winger this month.

Duff only arrived at Newcastle from Chelsea in the summer and although he has not made the expected impact on account a couple of injuries, Roeder has no plans to let him move on.
