Harry Redknapp Player Quotations

I bought a player and within two weeks he doesn't want to be in England. He doesn't like the way we play and he doesn't like to be tackled in training!

Because our pitch is quite narrow and not very long it perhaps suits an impact player more, but his game is developing and he will eventually become a very big player.

He is an exciting player with terrific pace, strength and skill,

For me, Arsenal, have got the best player in the world - Thierry Henry. He is absolutely magnificent and in great form.

You couldn't put a value on him, he's on another planet. For me, Lionel Messi is undoubtedly the No.1 player in the world.

Lionel Messi is the most amazing player I have ever seen.

I don't think there is any place in football for drinking. I have said on several occasions to players: You don't put diesel in a Ferrari.

I tape over most of them with Corrie or Neighbours. Most of them are crap. They can f***ing make anyone look good. I signed Marco Boogers off a video. He was a good player but a nutter. They didn't show that on the video.

Scholes was playing tiki-taka football when nobody in England knew what it was. He was another of those players, like Denis Law or Bobby Moore, who at 15 probably looked as if he wouldn't make it. Too small, you would think - can't run, dumpy little ginger nut - but then the ball would come to him and he would dazzle you. He was the best footballer in that Manchester United midfield, better than Ryan Giggs and Roy Keane.
