From QPR Report """""" Dave McIntyre/West London Sport Frustrated Redknapp tells QPR chiefs to get deals done Harry Redknapp has told QPRâs Tony Fernandes-led board they need to be faster to complete transfer deals if the club are to have a chance of staying in the Premier League. Manager Redknapp has become increasingly frustrated at Rangersâ failure to tie-up the signings of a number of his targets. They included Joe Cole, who was keen to move to Loftus Road from Liverpool before being handed a chance to return to West Ham, where he started his career under Redknapp. The former England star scored the Hammersâ equaliser in Saturdayâs 1-1 draw against the Râs at Upton Park. And Redknapp said: âI think we could have got Joe. I would have had Joe about two weeks before West Ham got him. âI just felt we took a long while to get it sorted. I was talking to Joeâs people three weeks before West Ham even came on the scene. âI could have got Joe and I wanted to. It just dragged on and I was disappointed not to get him. âI just think with deals sometimes you have to get them done quickly. Once other people get alerted to players being available you can lose them.â Redknapp says the club are still trying to seal the signing of Rennes midfielder Yann MâVila. Terms have been agreed for the France internationalâs move and Rangers remain confident the deal will soon be rubber-stamped. âWeâre still working on it,â he confirmed. Redknapp shrugged off suggestions that Everton, Tottenham and Russian outfit Rubin Kazan are looking to sign MâVila. But he warned: âYou need to get deals done. The longer it goes on the more people get involved and people see his name in the papers.â West London Sport """"""
got to agree we do take time getting players in why i don't know & looks like m.villa being the same.
He did sound frustrated at the press conference after the whu game but I thought he blamed liverpool for being slow. He'd be shooting himself in the foot if he has a go at tony or phil. Over a week until our next PL game so still time to get a few more deals done.
Never understood why people got the hump with Oddball !! How can you get upset with someone so obviously crazy ? beyond me !
