Harry Redknapp’s dilemma – Making the stars shine with Tottenham Hotspur
The summer transfer window is in the second month of its running. As usual, it has been exciting and full of rumours and speculations to say the least. The same holds true for North London. Cesc Fabregas has been making headlines just like he did last summer.
Similarly to Fabregas, Samir Nasri’s future with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 also hangs in the balance up in the air somewhere. On the other side of the town, Tottenham Hotspur are also looking to decipher the code to future success.
Tottenham played a solitary season at the much lucrative UEFA Champions League in 2010/11 season. Much to the dismay of their fans, the Spurs failed to maintain a top four position in the English Premier League and crashed out of the European championship.
Missing out on the riches employs that the Spurs will have to balance their books and offload the dead log players. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-Hutton-c4253 might have to face the axe due to lack of importance to their club.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Levy has been up front to his main man Harry Redknapp to cut the extra pounds loose. In order to be able to spend, Redknapp will have to sell first or his budget will have to be limited. This comes much to the dismay of the Hotspur fans. On the other
hand, Spur’s financial frailty sends out wrong signals to their competitors.
Selling of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 for £22 million could have helped the club to get in to a better financial position but the initial bid made by Chelsea was laughed at by Harry Redknapp. Modric would have been more serious though. He had the opportunity to continue
to play for a top flight team with Chelsea and in the Champions League. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 are a title contender team and are now under a new management which is already in the market to strengthen the squad through quality and star power buying.
Good news for the Spurs fans has been that Modric is not looking to hand in a transfer request to his employers. Given the fact that he is only in the second year of his contract with the Tottenham Hotspur, it only makes more sense for Modric to stay. But,
what does Tottenham Hotspur have to offer to Modric?
For Tottenham, they need to able to reward Modric’s commitment. The squad badly needs reinforcement. The main area where they need to invest is the strike force. Lack of strikers has led to a lot of frustration within the camp. The midfield is highly creative
but the failure to convert the opportunities into goals, and then further on into points, has left the players, the management and the fans emotionally hurt. It is never a good state to be in.
Another area that requires Redknapp’s attention is the centre-back position. Injuries to the defenders and now that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-Woodgate-c19069 has left the club for Stoke City, it is time that something is done regarding that position. Putting in a strong defender
is imperative.
Redknapp’s moves like these will make the likes of Modric want to stay at the club and make the players realise that Tottenham is a club where they can stick around and even vie for the honours. He has already shown his commitment to the club by stating
that he wants to win the league with the Spurs. Therefore, in order to achieve that, Redknapp has to add more stars and not lose any.
