It's a bit odd that Cudicini, one of the Premierleagues best keepers, has allowed himself to be semi-retired for the past few years, and then decide all of a sudden to sign for Spurs. If he'd have left Chelsea when they signed Cech he could've had his pick of clubs.

Is Spazzy just going around signing EVERYONE Ramos got rid of? Rumours linking him with Robbie Keane today.

I'm kind of disgusted by Harry's "antics" this window.

I've seen him at least twice say something like "All they've got to say is he's not for sale and thats that"...then why are you talking about him still? The sickening way the media sucks Redknapp's corey is just out of order, he basically publically taps a player up, the club they BELONG to get's shitty but Harry is the one in the press, they love him so.

Drifting off topic, but haven't your boys spent £9mil on a 19 year old complete uknown today fozzy? Doesn't seem like the actions of a club close to financial doom to me. Have the tabloids lied to us?

Personally I don't understand why people hate Redknapp so much - there are much worse in this league - but whatever your feelings about him personally, he's a good manager. All they need to do is dump Gomes and get one or two combative midfielders and they will be OK.

Cos he's a bent slimy bastard

You were quick enough to slag Allardyce off and he aint even close to that 'nothing ever sticks to me' spazzyeyed tvvat

His records OK

No better than OK

And his antics unsettling players in the past three months

Fcuk me, we'd be on a charge

And how they whined when United loosened their grip on Berbatov

Hypocrites

Redknapp takes the cockney-mafia journos out for dinner and drinks regularly and gets pally with them. They daren't write anything other than praise for Old 'Arry.

These attacks on Harry Redknapp - one of the games great characters - are sickening.

But then Bolton fans are the most evil in football, so it's all you can expect.

I know, bit strange - thought the (excellent) Bellamy profits would go back into the Chairmans very empty pockets, rather than splashed on transfers. Hopefully the fee is dependent on appearances etc etc.

Never heard of Savio Nsereko, but I'm inclined to give Nani the benefit of the doubt. Twas the same situation for Ilunga and Behrami, both of whom have turned out to be excellent signings.

Apparently we're in for another midfielder too - think we need cover after Mullins (under rated IMO) went to Pompey.

And finally - Carlton Cole. What a transformation.

I think that Redknapp's stock is falling fast. The Times ran a piece on him following the Pompey game, claiming a lot of the senior players were unhappy with his behaviour. And Brian Reade today laid into him in the Mirror.

I think the Press love Harry's behaviour (cos it sells papers) rather than the man himself.

Sorry, it's the man himself that they love. It may sell papers, but being wined and dined by the chap certainly influences the things they write.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp said: "I'm delighted to have him. He can play in any of the back four positions."

He can, but he won't.

Let's hope he's not owned by a third party!

Unfortunately, just in time for Saturday, the Spuds looked very good indeed tonight on FF. I know it was only Stoke but......

We'll see, even we looked like world beaters against Stoke.

Is Les Ferdinand still playing?

This is the gentle art of putting the message out without putting the message out. How blatant can one get at tapping up players?

As he's not said "I've tried to get Robbie Keane to play for us, but he's said he'll have to clear it with Liverpool", then its not tapping up.

H. Pedersen · Post by **H. Pedersen** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 11:23 am

What exactly is "tapping up?" I thought it was actually talking to the player, not talking about them. Or is there some sort of fine line? Because otherwise couldn't the manager of Hereford United get in trouble for saying "Kaka is a great player, we'd love to have him!"
