WANDERERS boss Sam Allardyce has slammed Spurs for an approach for striker Michael Ricketts.

The deal was a player plus cash exchange but Allardyce said: "It came nowhere near our valuation of the player, which they have known for a very long time,

"They also did not keep the discussions just between the two sides as Michael's agent has got to know about it and where that leaves Michael I don't know. I just hope he understands."
