Spurs to reject any moves for Davies

"I haven't seen him [play] to be honest but everyone told me he used to be a terrific player." Davies was unfortunate not to mark his return to the first team with a goal in the FA Cup fourth-round tie but he was unable to direct Jermain Defoe's cross goalbound.

The England striker had earlier equalised for Spurs with a 31st-minute penalty after he was brought down by Darren Purse.

The spot-kick cancelled out Robert Earnshaw's 17th minute strike but was shrouded in controversy, with some West Brom fans adamant Defoe dived. Purse also felt the diminutive forward went to ground too easily. "I didn't think it was a penalty," said the West Brom defender.

"I should have stayed on my feet, and I'm critical of myself, but I don't think I made contact. But that's football these days."

Jol, whose side will play the replay at White Hart Lane on 12 February, offered a different perspective, insisting that football had cleaned up its act in recent years. "I can't imagine it was a dive because in training Jermain's always standing on his feet - he's never falling down," he said.

"To be honest, 20 years ago there was so much more diving in the game because we practised it.

"But with all the cameras today I think players are much more honest because they know everybody sees it."
