Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp isn't confident of
landing Craig Bellamy after admitting Manchester City are
favourites for the West Ham striker.
Spurs have had a bid turned down, thought to be in the
region of £6million, and Redknapp is expecting City to go higher
than their valuation of the 29-year-old.
"I think there will be more offers, Manchester City are supposed
to be very interested but he belongs to West Ham and if they decide
they do not want to sell him then it's up to them," Redknapp said
after Friday's goalless draw with Fulham.
"It depends. I'll speak to the chairman but if Man City are in
for him then it is very difficult to compete with them - they can
throw millions and millions at everything."
The need to freshen up Spurs' attack was highlighted in the
stalemate against Roy Hodgson's side at White Hart Lane, where
Darren Bent, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Fraizer Campbell struggled to
create clear-cut chances.
To make matters worse for Redknapp, he saw Tom Huddlestone limp
off with an ankle injury.
The Spurs boss added: "I thought Bobby Zamora was outstanding,
in the first half he held the ball up very well. I wish he was
still at Tottenham.
"They let him go and maybe thought he wasn't good enough. Maybe
he wasn't good enough when they (Dimitar) Berbatov, (Robbie) Keane
and (Jermain) Defoe but he looks all right to me."
