Redknapp hits back at critics

by Alex Livie , 17 January 2009

Harry Redknapp has hit back at critics who claim Tottenham have unsettled players in the January transfer window.

Redknapp is striving to improve Tottenham’s squad, but the North Londoners have been accused of unsettling players.

Sunderland manager Ricky Sbragia has hit out at Spurs over their pursuit of Kenwyne Jones, while Craig Bellamy is rumoured to have gone on strike after being told by West Ham they don’t want to sell him to Tottenham.

Redknapp did not comment on Bellamy, but claims their attempts to sign Jones have been conducted in the right manner.

"We haven't tapped anyone up," Redknapp. "Why has their head been turned? All that's happened is that (chairman) Daniel Levy spoke to Niall Quinn and asked if they'd sell Kenwyne Jones.

"All that's happened with Kenwyne Jones is that the chairman has rung Niall Quinn and what's wrong with that?”
