Is Harry Redknapp’s rant targeted at Henderson as Chelsea’s bid for Modric is rejected?
In this transfer game of cat and mouse, Harry Redknapp is a recognized cat. An incredible member of the cat family, he is as cunning as your street kitten but knows how to attract all the attention like a home grown kitten as well.
When he roars, he seems like a lion but on a few occasions his whimpers are just purrs aimed at other big cats in the footballing playground.
In the winter of 2011 when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707, Redknapp’s comments were highlighted by the British media as he stated that the Spaniard’s arrival at Stamford Bridge is only going to strengthen
their squad. Harry was signing the same tune when explicitly stated that Tottenham were never going to match Liverpool’s evaluation of Andy Carroll.
Liverpool out spent Tottenham in the January transfer window when they spent 35 million pounds on the signature of Andy Carroll, Harry at that time stated that Carroll would prove to be a bargain buy for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. Many thought
it was just a matter of one English manager paying his respects to a young English striker. However, Redknapp was singing the transfer tune again.
When Harry saw Chelsea splash cash on Torres and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542 in the January transfer window, he was well aware of the fact that Chelsea will be spending again in the summer transfer window. One of the Blues’ prime transfer targets
since the summer transfer window has been Luka Modric. Tottenham’s manager has been quick to state that Modric is not for sale as clubs like Tottenham don’t sell their best players as they aspire to be challenging for the English Premier League title.
In reality, the talk of Tottenham not selling their best players is rubbish. Every club sells at the right price. When http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 with an 80 million pound check, Ferguson was quite happy to
part ways with the Portuguese winger despite the fact that he was at that time the best player in the world. With Redknapp in the summer transfer window, it’s just a matter of holding out for more. The latest Chelsea bid which was rejected by Tottenham amounted
to 22 million pounds, a handsome amount of money but not enough to make Harry sell the Croatian playmaker.
From a cynical point of view, Harry is right in acting the way that he is. He has seen players like Andy Carroll sold for 35 million and then Jordan Henderson being cashed in on by Sunderland for 20 million pounds, the former West
Ham United manager knows that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Henderson-c19102 is. Moreover, there are other clubs monitoring the situation.
An experienced transfer window campaign, Harry knows that the bid by Chelsea might invite attention from other clubs as well as several big European names are interested in Luka’s services. Henderson was one of the people who suffered
from collateral damage over the past couple of days as Harry was obviously targeting the Englishman when he said that people being sold around for 20 million pounds are not fit enough to lace Modric’s boots. So what is left to see now is the fact that whether
or not Chelsea will cough up more cash or back off.
