Redknapp bemoans transfer lull
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has voiced his frustration after enduring a quiet period of transfer activity over the summer.[LNB] The Spurs boss, preparing his team for Champions League football, has only been able to add one new face to his ranks in the form of Brazilian midfielder Sandro.[LNB]And after breaking the glass ceiling to finish among the 'top four' Premier League sides last season, Redknapp is desperate to shore up his squad to continue their progress.[LNB]The 63-year-old knows the players he wants to bring in, but with the restart of domestic football looming large he admits he is struggling to secure any transfers targets.[LNB]Redknapp told the Sunday Mirror: "We are nowhere near at the moment. [LNB]"We could do with more experience in the squad and I know the two or three players I want.[LNB]"Those players could make the difference and they are not expensive - we need them to push on and keep improving.[LNB]"We are not going to win the Premier League as it stands, but we have a chance if we get the players I'm after."[LNB]Redknapp was speaking after his team continued their pre-season preparations with a 3-2 win over Fiorentina at White Hart Lane on Saturday.[LNB]Roman Pavlyuchenko found the net while Robbie Keane netted a brace to seal the win, but midfielder Giovani dos Santos is the man that has stood out over pre-season.[LNB]And Redknapp says the Mexican can become a key part of his plans after enduring a difficult time since his move to the Londoners.[LNB]He added: "Giovani has got outstanding ability and we've got a good prospect for the future. [LNB]"He has got to dedicate himself and show he can do it every week, but he is knuckling down."
