Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp 'jeers at me', says Roman Pavlyuchenko
The Tottenham forward insists he is at a loss to understand why Redknapp turned down an offer from Lokomotiv Moscow and believes he has no future at the club who paid £13.8 million for him after Euro 2008. [LNB]"Sometimes I have a feeling that Redknapp jeers at me," Pavlyuchenko told Russia's Sport Express. "I told him that it cannot be this way any more, since I wouldn't help my team with sad thoughts in my mind.

[LNB]"I think only about my move from Tottenham. Lokomotiv made a really worthy offer and if I sit on the subs' bench they won't offer the same sum in the summer. [LNB]"Redknapp is ready to let me go, but I still keep on watching our games from the bench. [LNB]"At the same time I am convinced that the head coach doesn't need my services, he doesn't see me in his playing schemes. But why doesn't he agree to sell me then? [LNB]"By sitting on the bench I will lose my place in the most important team for me - in the national team. Alexandr Borodyuk called me and said that coaches still count on me, but it can't last forever. Though I try to train in full measure. [LNB]"It's hard to assess myself, however I give 100 per cent during training as I understand that otherwise I would lose my place in football once and for all. [LNB]"But I don't see any future for myself at Tottenham. It's a really big club with super fans who like me, however I think it's an end of the story, not with the team but with the head coach. [LNB]"My agents and friends persuaded me to stay at the club half a year ago and told me that I would get a chance and Redknapp also said that I would play for sure. [LNB]"The result was I featured in six or seven games having 10 minutes of playing time. I am absolutely sure that will be repeated in the next three months. [LNB]"Just look at the situation. The head coach does not see the player in the team, while the player wants to leave. They have a worthy offer from the other club, and at the same time nothing happens. I need to change the club not only to play football, but for an emotional boost."[LNB]
