Redknapp happy to finish at Spurs

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp says he would be happy to finish his career at White Hart Lane despite constantly being linked with the England job in future.

Redknapp, whose side have landed a last 16 Champions League encounter against AC Milan in February and March, has been linked with the England job when Fabio Capello leaves after the European Championships in 2012.

But when Redknapp, 63, was asked if he would be content if Tottenham were his last football job, he replied: "Of course I would. For sure, only I don't think that far ahead. In this game you just never know. Yeah, it's gone great but I was enjoying my life before and out of the blue suddenly you get a phone call (from Tottenham). It never entered my mind that I would leave Portsmouth, I was enjoying it there and suddenly you get an offer to come here.

"Whoever thought Sam (Allardyce) would get the sack. It can turn so quickly, half a dozen games and suddenly you don't know what you're doing. You go from being the cleverest person in the world to being the biggest ***** in the world. That's how this game works unfortunately.''

On the possibility of succeeding Capello, Redknapp added: "It's flavour of the month this game. Roy Hodgson was favourite at the start of the year. Alan Curbishley nearly had it last time, now he can't get a job in the Premier League. Who knows what happens in 18 months time?''

The Spurs boss admits his biggest problem is keeping happy players such as Robbie Keane and Niko Kranjcar who are currently not in his high-flying side.

Redknapp said: "They all want to play. I can't say Robbie and Niko are happy because they're not. It's hard when you are not in the team. They get well paid but they want to play football. They get a bit low at times but we try to keep them all involved. I try to make them as part of everything as I can but I can't guarantee they are going to play.''

When it comes to Europe Redknapp cannot see past Barcelona, who beat fierce rivals Real Madrid 5-0 recently and who face Arsenal in the last 16 of the Champions League in a repeat of their semi-final encounter two seasons ago.

Redknapp said: "Barcelona are amazing to watch. Their movement is incredible. It's a bit like Holland and Johan Cruyff (former Barcelona coach) has taken some of the credit. He put down the blueprint for the way they play. They play total football. Their football is fantastic to watch. It will be a great game against Arsenal but Barcelona would be red hot favourites. What they did to Real Madrid made them look like a non-league team almost. It was embarrassing and incredible to watch.''

Redknapp rules out Parker bid

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has ruled out a January bid for West Ham playmaker Scott Parker.

Parker has been the stand out player during the Hammers disappointing campaign so far, which sees them rooted to the foot of the Premier League table.

But although Redknapp admitted he would be interested in Parker, the player's age and the fee West Ham would want makes it an unlikely deal.

"I like Parker, but he belongs to West Ham," Redknapp said. "He will be 31 next birthday and they will want £15million. Daniel [Levy] wouldn't buy players of that age, on big wages with no sell-on."

Parker may not be heading across the capital, but one player who might be is Jamie O'Hara. Redknapp says he would be willing to let the midfielder go, despite O'Hara missing most of the season with a back injury.

The 24-year-old spent last season on loan at Portsmouth playing under Avram Grant, who is now in charge of the Hammers.

"O'Hara needs to play. He would be better off playing somewhere than not playing," he said. "He would do a good job for someone in the Prem."

Redknapp rules out Modric sale

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp insists there is no possibility of Chelsea signing Luka Modric.

Dinamo Zagreb vice-president Zdravko Mamic, who is close to the player, claimed this week that he had been for lunch with Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti and that Modric is "top of his list" of targets.

However, Redknapp has now said there is no prospect of the player leaving White Hart Lane.

"He is such a fantastic player," he said. "If we start selling such a player like that then we might as well all go home.

"He is a different class and is not going anywhere. Not a chance. He (Ancelotti) might have his eye on him but he is not going to get him for sure.

"He is a pleasure to work with. He is a fantastic player. We are building a team here, not dismantling one."

Robbie Keane, though, looks certain to move on amid reported interest from Aston Villa, Birmingham and West Ham.

"Robbie would like to move and he wants to play," Redknapp said. "He is a boy who has played all his career. He is not used to not playing.

"He is still a top player and would grace most clubs. It's just that he has been unfortunate with Rafa (van der Vaart) coming in and I've been playing one up with him. I have Defoe, Crouch, Pavlyuchenko and Robbie so it's been difficult getting him in the team.

"I haven't heard anything about any offers for him though."

Woodgate in line for loan move

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has revealed that he could send Jonathan Woodgate out on loan in order to aid the defender's recovery from a long-term groin injury.

Woodgate returned to training this week after spending more than a year on the sidelines.

Redknapp had feared Woodgate would not be able to play this season after a series of operations but he revealed on Friday that the 30-year-old could return to first-team action in two weeks' time and said a loan spell could aid his recovery.

Redknapp said: "I spoke to Jonathan and I said to him that if he comes through the next couple of weeks then it might be a good idea for him to go out on loan to play some matches and I think he fancies that."

"He has been out a long time and he is a fantastic centre half. Anyone who loans Jonathan Woodgate is getting one of the best centre halves in the Premier League and I would be willing to do that just to give him some games."

Woodgate's career has been blighted by back and knee injuries and his groin problem restricted him to just three appearances last season.

Redknapp says Woodgate must now prove he is capable of performing at the level that persuaded Real Madrid to part with £13 million for his services back in 2004.

"If he'd have been out for the rest of the season, I don't know whether he'd come back from that," Redknapp said. "He has been out a long time but at least he's back training, feels good and looks in good shape.

"This period is make or break time for him really. He needs to get out, play some games and show he's ready to get his career going again."

Redknapp only wants 'special' star

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp will not look to do too much business in the January transfer window - and expects Andy Carroll to remain at Newcastle.

Redknapp, whose side lie fifth in the Premier League standings, is content with his existing squad and would only look to bolster if someone ''a bit special'' becomes available.

He told Sky Sports News: ''We've got so many players here it would be hard fitting anybody in. We're not too desperate for anything. We're more than strong everywhere so unless it's someone who's a bit special I don't think we'll be doing too much.

''If someone's there that we feel can make the difference - it might just be a character or leader or somebody who can give you something at the club.

''If that type of person's available then we'd be interested, but at the moment we're not closing in on anything.''

Spurs have been linked with in-form Carroll, who has bagged 10 Premier League goals for Newcastle this season, but Redknapp does not see the in-form striker leaving St James' Park.

''He's got fantastic potential,'' said the Tottenham boss. ''He's a top player, no doubt - he's a real handful and he's taken the Premier League by storm the first half of the season.

''If he was available I think there'd be plenty of people want him because he's an old-fashioned centre-forward, but I see [Newcastle manager] Alan Pardew wants to keep him and I don't blame him so I don't see him moving.''
