THERE would have been fun and games if there had been any foundation to pre-deadline reports linking Steffen Iversen with a move from Spurs to the Reebok.
The Norwegian is said to have been offered to Wanderers in a player-plus-cash part-exchange deal for Michael Ricketts before Sam Allardyce struck a deal with Middlesbrough.
It has since emerged that Iversen fears he will not play again this season and will soon need surgery on his back - a problem which has plagued him intermittently for the last five years.
The medical would have been interesting!
