'Arry set to let Roman go in January
Table of Contents
Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has told Russian flop Roman Pavlyuchenko that he could leave in the January transfer window.
The Spurs boss is losing patience with the striker’s constant bleating about not getting a game at White Hart Lane. Pavlyuchenko has just 62 minutes of Premier League football to his name this season.
The 28-year-old has now accused his gaffer of "mocking" him by keeping him on the bench.
But Redknapp claims Pavlyuchenko asked to be left out of the team to play Manchester United in the Carling Cup last month.
He said: "It’s hard to understand because before the game he came to see me and said, ‘I am not ready to play, my head is not right’.
"I can’t put a player on the pitch not knowing if his head is right or not. I don’t want to talk about it any more.
"If he’s got a problem, he needs to come and see me about it.
"It’s never been better here and I wouldn’t let one person who wants to run to the newspapers destabilise that."
Redknapp added: "I don't want to criticise his attitude. He is laid back but he is a top top player. He has just been unlucky.
"Jermain Defoe is on fire, he is the club's leading goalscorer. Peter Crouch has been fantastic and Robbie Keane has got goals - four goals in one game. What can I do?
"He came to see me after Russia got knocked out of the World Cup and said his head wasn't right, he didn't feel right and said that he wants to leave. He wants to move.
"He has been to see the chairman with his people and now it's up to the chairman and whoever wants to buy him to make the right offer."
