palacios deal confirmed

Playing at Old Trafford is often rated as one of the high points of a footballer’s career. But an appearance at Manchester United could signal the end of a few Tottenham careers tomorrow.

Manager Harry Redknapp was furious with the way Spurs almost threw a Carling Cup final place away against Burnley on Wednesday night – rescued only in the dying moments by goals from Roman Pavlyuchenko and Jermain Defoe – and warned a number of players had put their futures at risk.

He also claimed the Wembley clash against Manchester United and Premier League survival must take priority over the FA Cup and UEFA Cup for the remainder of the season.

Redknapp is prepared to risk a thrashing by fielding a weakened side in the FA Cup against United in the hope it will help Tottenham’s chances of securing a vital league victory over Stoke next week.

But his policy has spread fear throughout White Hart Lane, with one club insider describing the players he picks to travel to Old Trafford as “the bomb squad”.

The popular theory within the Spurs dressing room is the majority of the team who take on United can count themselves among the unwanted. Those who sit out tomorrow’s game will feel they have earned a reprieve.

Of the squad he inherited from Juande Ramos, Redknapp has only been totally convinced by defenders Ledley King, Jonathan Woodgate and Michael Dawson and midfielder Jamie O’Hara.

Winger Aaron Lennon and playmaker Luka Modric have impressed in flashes, but concerns remain over their consistency. Striker Darren Bent, who missed the Burnley tie through injury but could be available tomorrow, fears for his White Hart Lane future, while Jermaine Jenas, Tom Huddlestone and Gareth Bale are understood to be at risk.

Kevin-Prince Boateng has already been loaned out to Borussia Dortmund, while Hossam Ghaly is on his way out to Al Nasr and Valencia are confident of landing Cesar Sanchez.

Ideally, Redknapp would like to sign a new goalkeeper – Le Mans’ Yohann Pele is the latest name to be linked – two full-backs, a central midfielder, a left winger and a striker to partner Defoe. Although Defoe is one of the few squad members who are safe, he confirmed there are a number of worried players who are well aware Redknapp is looking to make big changes.

“Football is all about confidence and, at the minute, the lads don’t look that confident,” said Defoe.

“Harry is the manager, he makes the decisions. He can analyse the situation and look at the players and it’s for him to say what happens.

“I’m just one of the players and I’ve come in and I’m trying to do my best for the team. I’m sure the manager will want to bring in his own players and I’m sure he’ll do that.”

Injuries to King, Woodgate, O’Hara, Jenas, Lennon, Heurelho Gomes, Alan Hutton and Vedran Corluka, together with Fraizer Campbell’s ineligibility and Wilson Palacios’s suspension, should spare Redknapp and Spurs from any FA sanctions for not fielding their strongest team against United.

And not even the fact Redknapp is the current holder of the FA Cup, after winning the competition with Portsmouth last season, is likely to sway his thinking.

“Nobody respects the FA Cup more than I do,” said Redknapp. “I was brought up with it and watching the final is one of the highlights of my year. Last year, I put out my best team in every round trying to get to Wembley and we did it.

“But we’re in a position at the moment at Tottenham where the squad is just not big enough to keep playing all these games. We go to Old Trafford before we play Stoke on Tuesday and I’m going to have to patch up any kind of team I can to send out at Old Trafford.

“We’ve had a tough schedule and we are short of strength in depth for the number of competitions we’re in.

“We haven’t got the strength in depth to carry what we’re trying to do. We’re in too many
competitions.

“The Carling Cup didn’t help the league form last year, did it? We got to the final and only won three more Premier League games up to the day I arrived here. I hope it has the reverse effect this year.

“The key is winning league games. Everything is secondary to the Premier League, but the Carling Cup is the next most important thing now because we’re so close.

“This season, in all honesty, the UEFA Cup and the FA Cup are very secondary.”

When Pavlyuchenko got subbed, it was 10 vs 10 on the field coz all i can see is 10 spurs player fighting for every ball while 1 particular player known as Bent was just heading every ball n running around like a headless chicken.

Sigh... disappointing draw. Wish Modric would have pass'ed it to Taarabt in the final minutes of the 1 on 1...

Bent at least contributed something la...He broke clichy's head if u can consider that as contribution as well
