Redknapp has snapped up the former Arsenal defender on a one-year contract. And the Tottenham Hotspur manager claims the Frenchman's temperament will not count against him. [LNB]Redknapp said: 'He'll bring experience because he is a top-class player. Arsenal wanted to keep him and offered him a contract.

He's not the first player to go from Arsenal to Tottenham or Tottenham to Arsenal. [LNB]'He's a footballer, a great lad, smashing, and he'll improve Tottenham. [LNB]'He's got the bottle to come and play here and I'm sure the fans will give him a good reception. [LNB]'He's got vast experience and on a free transfer it's a fantastic deal for us. [LNB]'Whenever we've played against him he's looked a world class player.' [LNB]Gallas will not play at Stoke tomorrow and Redknapp is short on numbers with Luka Modric, Ledley King, Jermain Defoe, Robbie Keane, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Giovani dos Santos all out. [LNB]'They all picked up injuries on the plastic pitch in Berne," said Redknapp. "It leaves me with Peter Crouch, the only one we've got. Robbie jarred his knee, Pav has an ankle, Defoe a groin and Giovanni a hamstring.' [LNB]Redknapp will respect Stoke as Tony Pulis' side won at White Hart Lane last season. [LNB]'Stoke are a good side, Tony has established them as a tough Premier League side. It's important we get a good result.' [LNB]
