Redknapp slams Manchester City transfers

Redknapp slams Manchester City transfers

22 January 2012 - 07:38

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has slammed the transfer dealings of Man City manager Roberto Mancini. Redknapp focused on the signing of Sergio Aguero as he took a swipe at the Citizens prior to this weekend's Premier League match against their title rivals.

  • Arsenal to hijack Chelsea deal for English winger?
  • Arsenal & Chelsea battling to sign Ajax defender

  • Redknapp has slammed the title rivals, who he suggests have purchased their route to success.



    "I’d fancy you to manage them [speaking to a reporter]. You’d have a chance, wouldn’t you," said Redknapp.



    "It’s not rocket science. Good players give you a chance.



    "If you have not got good players you don’t have a chance. I don’t care who you are. I might be knocking my own job or whatever, but if I have not got Gareth Bale, I am not half as clever.



    "I’m one of the lucky ones. I’m sitting in the top six. I’m no cleverer than Roberto Martinez. He’s probably cleverer than me. He’s sitting at the bottom of the league because he hasn’t got the players. He can’t afford to buy the players.



    "When people starting talking last year about Tottenham bidding for Sergio Aguero, I thought ‘What a load of nonsense’. How can we afford Aguero? We aren’t going to pay £250,000 a week to a player, it’s not possible."
