Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood 'happy' to sell players in January window as club attempt to reduce wage bill But we certainly won't be leaving ourselves short. If no one left, I wouldn't be shedding any tears over that either. Sherwood highlighted midfield as one area where Tottenham had plenty of cover, saying: "I've got a certain amount of trust in other players before some others, but the longer I'm with them on the training field, the more I'm getting to know them and the more I'm getting attached to some of the new players as well. He added: "All I can say with regards to Etienne Capoue is that he's never caused me a minute's problem here. We have a good relationship. He realises that I've used Nabil Bentaleb in front of him - not only him but Lewis Holtby and a few other players in the midfield area - because I knew the young boy and I trusted him. Etienne has played, he played at Old Trafford, and he's been asked to play in reserve games to keep up his fitness, along with other players. The fact is I'm still getting to know some of these new players and I know the other ones better. Sherwood admitted Spurs were unlikely to make any signings themselves this month, revealing their injury problems were beginning to ease. He confirmed the fit-again Andros Townsend and Sandro could both make their first appearance for a month in Sunday's Premier League game at Swansea, with Jan Vertonghen and Younes Kaboul likely to return to action soon after.
