Palacios happy to be compared with Spurs favourite Roberts

Wilson Palacios is pleased with the praise heaped on him by Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp.

Palacios' style has led to Redknapp comparing the midfielder to Spurs legend Graham Roberts.

The former Wigan ace said: "It really makes me happy that the manager speaks about me in that way, comparing me with a player who worked so hard for the good of the team."
