The English Premier League manager says it is important for Tottenham to persuade fringe players to remain at the club as they will need them to challenge for the league title...
Harry Redknapp has come out and expressed his concern regarding the fringe players at Tottenham Hotspur and their possible moves away from White Hart Lane in the January transfer window due to the amount of game time that they
are getting at Tottenham. Spurs have been doing well in the Premier League this season as Harry Redknapp has tried to build a solid first team core of players which are suited to Tottenham’s style of play.
Redknapp has been successful in engineering such a squad as the London club are now close in behind Manchester United in third place in the English Premier League title race. Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson himself acknowledged the fact that
Tottenham are now genuine contenders for the title which looks to be heading towards the Etihad stadium for now as Manchester City have a three point advantage at the top of the Premier League standings.
However such success has had its negatives as well, as Tottenham’s fringe players are getting less chances of showcasing their worth in the first team due to the amount of competition in the squad. Redknapp will use some of his
squad players such as Nico Kranjcar and Pienaar in Tottenham’s upcoming F.A Cup commitments, a competition that can serve Tottenham’s needs of giving game time to some of their non-first team players.
Redknapp stated in his recent interview, "The odd game here and there won't be enough to keep them happy, but what can you do? You have got to have a big squad. We had four midfield players and suddenly now we have got two. That
is what can happen in a week. You get injuries. It is the team with the strongest squad that will be up there.”
He added that there are players who have asked him if they can be sent out on loan such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193 Rose but he had to refuse such requests because Tottenham are short on left backs in the squad and Rose might be needed at the White
Hart Lane stadium if Assou Ekotto gets injured.
