not fit to lace his boots' - Tottenham's Harry Redknapp slams reported

Lane this summer for any price as they look to keep their key players
despite not qualifying for the Champions League

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp believes that Chelsea's £22 million bid to sign midfielder Luka Modric is ‘ridiculous’.
Modric has been the subject of much transfer speculation all summer
with both the Stamford Bridge club and Manchester United touted as
possible destinations for the Croatian international.
Tottenham’s failure to qualify for the Champions League had cast
doubt on whether they would be able to keep hold of their key players
such as Modric and Gareth Bale.
However these claims have rubbished by the former Portsmouth manager
as he looks to keep his best players with Spurs aiming to challenge for
Champions League football again next season.
Redknapp told the BBC: "Luka is not for sale. If there has
been a bid of £22m that is ridiculous. There are people being sold for
£20m who are not fit to lace Luka's boots."
Spurs sources had earlier told Goal.com
that chairman Daniel Levy has "no intention" of caving in to Chelsea
owner Roman Abramovic, and is "adamant" that Modric will not be sold at
any price.
Modric played a pivotal role in helping Spurs reach the quarter-final
stage of the Champions League in their debut season in the competition.
The midfielder has made 119 appearances for Harry Redknapp’s side since joining in the summer of 2008 scoring 12 times.
