Harry Redknapp has promised Tottenham Hotspur he will continue his remarkable record in the transfer market this summer by uncovering some hidden gems. [LNB]Few managers wheel and deal as well as Redknapp who has consistently discovered unknown players, making them Barclays Premier League household names.[LNB]In recent years Redknapp has brought players such as Yakubu, Niko Kranjcar and Sulley Muntari to Portsmouth while 12 months after Lassana Diarra joined Pompey from Arsenal the midfielder was sold to Real Madrid for four times that sum. [LNB] Always on the lookout: Redknapp has promised to continue scouring the transfer market[LNB]Redknapp insisted on full control over transfers when he switched to White Hart Lane last November rather than have any technical director overseeing moves and said: "It's not just about spending money. It's about buying the right players and knowing what you're doing.[LNB]'If you get people buying players who don't know what they're doing then you've got problems regardless of how much they spend. [LNB]'I do know a player, I do know what I'm doing, that's why I've lasted about 30 years in this business. [LNB]'I've got a rough idea of who can play football and who can't. It's strange how it works that way but that seems to be the case. [LNB]'We all make mistakes. I've made a few but I've also made more correct ones than wrong ones and that's the only reason I've lasted as long as I have.' Lennon set to mark new lease of life on return from international wildernessPavlyuchenko pleads for extra time to prove his worth to Spurs boss HarrySportsmail's Star of the Season: Have your say on who should be your team's player of the season - with NEW revised short lists!TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
