The Tottenham manager has made it clear that the North London club will be back to square one despite all his good work at White Hart Lane if they part ways with their star players during the summer transfer window such as
Luka Modric and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422...
Harry Redknapp has warned everyone at Tottenham that the club’s good work and all their improvement will be lost if they part ways with their star players in the upcoming summer transfer window. The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 and Gareth
Bale were already targets of intense speculation during the last summer transfer window when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 approached Tottenham for the services of their Croatian midfielder but Tottenham spent the summer holding onto their playmaker.
This time around this saga is set to repeat itself as Spurs can already start their preparations to fend off bids for Bale as well as he has been linked with a move to Real Madrid or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. Bale himself has expressed his desire
to play in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 but it remains to be seen how Redknapp will handle the Welshman in the summer. Tottenham’s main priority right now is to finish in the top three teams of the Premier League and thus play in next season’s UEFA champion’s league.
Redknapp said, “Once you start selling your best players you're finished. I don't know why Tottenham should be seen as a club that will sell its best players. We are not looking to sell our best players. We are looking to build
a team here, not dismantle. The chairman made a stance with Modric last year - the stance was that we are looking to build, to add to the group we've got and improve for next year, not to go backwards.”
He added, “If we go backwards, we're going nowhere basically are we? We will slump back into mid-table mediocrity and we don't want that. He's just a fantastic player, a great professional and a top bloke, so you want him here.
He's right up there with the better players in the world. You can't replace him. You wouldn't be able to replace him with somebody as good. That's why the other clubs want to buy him - because he is worth the money. But we don't want to sell him.”
