Fringe players may go to fund new signings

Yesterday when talking about rejecting a bid for Kranjcar Harry was saying he didn't have to sell players, however today he is saying that he may have to sell to be able to buy.

'I wouldn't want to sell my good players and I don't have to. I'm not saying they're all not good players but I wouldn't want to sell my best assets.' Redknapp said yesterday

However talking to The News today he said: 'We really need to shift one or two if we are going to raise some money to bring anyone else in now.

'Crouchie's in but now we need to find the money if we are going to try to finance another deal. Sacha can't keep putting his hand in his pocket for everything.

'If we sold somebody, a couple of players we can afford to let go, then there's one or two players I would love to bring in. But unless we move one or two out it's not possible.

'When you start talking about the type of players we are trying to bring in, no disrespect to Djimi, but his money doesn't buy you Wright-Phillips.

'You would like to have him for sure, but he's good money and at the moment we haven't got the money.

'It's not easy to shift people out, it's hard. Someone has got to want them and unless you get good offers for people then they stay. We've spent some money already this summer so money's tight now, so it's not easy.'

So it seems like we will be selling players, but not any of our "good" players, I would imagine this would be the Kranjcar's and Muntari's of the team who Harry has previously said are not going. However it does look like some of the squad players may leave to improve the squad, but as Harry says squad players transfer fees and wages wont go far in trying to sign players like Kaboul or Wright Phillips so several may have to leave to fund those kinds of deals.

Who do you think could be in the firing line?
