Spurs ‘wasting time’ chasing Duff

NEWCASTLE boss Glenn Roeder has told Premiership rivals Tottenham not to bother if they are preparing an approach for winger Damien Duff.

Roeder read fresh reports over the weekend that Martin Jol could be ready to test his resolve to hang on to the 27-year-old Republic of Ireland international with a £7million (€10.6m) bid.

However, the Magpies have no intention of allowing their summer signing to leave St James’ Park as he prepares for his return from injury.
