Football FanCast columnist Davis Lowe reacts to the news that Spurs are lining up a move for Richard Dunne and feels that it will prove money very well spent, should the deal be confirmed.

If there is one thing that Spurs fans are only too aware of is that their backline is simply not good enough. With Ledley King forever struggling to find fitness, Kaboul failing to adapt and the worrying loss of form of Michael Dawson, you can forgive Juande Ramos for looking to bring in an established centre half to complement the impressive Jonathon Woodgate.

There have been many names that have been touted in the past weeks, from all corners of the globe, but the latest is a simply a few hundred miles up the motorway and for me the right player at the right price and will provide the perfect foil alongside Woody.

Richard Dunne has once again been in fabulous form at Eastlands and has been City's fans player of the year for the last three years. The Irishman has finally started to fulfil the potential to a career that was dogged with attitude and weight concerns and established himself as one of the most consistent performers in the Premier League. Dunne is finally starting to receive the necessary plaudits and you kind of sense that he is finally looking for his last big move.

It has been reported in the Guardian this morning that Spurs have seemingly won the race for his signature in a deal around £5m that must surely be considered daylight robbery in the current market. You wonder if Robbie Keane, a great friend of Dunne, may have been key to any such deal but one thing is for sure is that should Spurs seal the deal, it would prove a fabulous acquisition.

How do Spurs fans feel about a move for Richard Dunne? Is he the right player to step in, should King fail to find full fitness? Would you prefer to see the club look elsewhere?
