HARRY REDKNAPP HAS bemoaned the greed of modern-day professional footballers after revealing a former striker wanted an incentivised contract based on his goal-tally.
The former West Ham, Tottenham and QPR boss has seen it all across his 34-year managerial career.
And after one particularly transfer he was confronted by a forward who wanted additional payments for finding the net on regular basis.
He told BT Sport: “I signed a player once, a top player, a fantastic player. We did the deal and he wanted a goal bonus, he was a striker.
“I said ‘what do you think we’re paying you 50,000-a-week for, to miss them?’ It is scary isn’t it?”
“We signed a striker and he wanted a goal bonus!”
"We signed a STRIKER and he wanted a GOAL bonus!"

When you put it like that, Harry... pic.twitter.com/mhD1iusgaf
Redknapp also suggested Spurs were right not to sign anyone in the recent transfer window and added their squad was strong enough to win the title.
A passionate #PLTonight debate 👊

"They've got a squad capable of winning the title!"
"I know for a fact that Pochettino didn't want anyone!"
Harry Redknapp is adamant that Tottenham were right not to sign anyone in the last two windows... pic.twitter.com/Xxxtr8OyB1

I don’t enjoy England and if I had a preference, they would not win a single game. Just a simple man’s thoughts……..
@T Dawg: historically, the RFU have treated Ireland the best…voted for us to have the world cup, continued to play us during the troubles even when Scots and the Welsh cried off, etc. Happy for them to go far…it would be nice to have a European winner, and if not Ireland then hope England do.
@Joe Vlogs: yep, I’d have no bother with England winning if not us. Much prefer them (& their fans) than Wales or scotland
@Joe Vlogs: best not to mention history and England
@T Dawg: He didn’t, he mentioned history and the RFU.
@Peter McCarthy: clown
@Tim Magner:
I would die if Wales win ps dont tell Jim
@T Dawg:
Dawg clown
@Martin Quinn: I’ll assume we’re on the same page and we’d both die if Gatland won the world cup
England to top group looks good bet
@Dominic Gallagher: yeah I’d have a guess and say thos odds are meant to be 3/10 ON! No chance u getting the odds mentioned above!
@Dominic Gallagher: hahaha, that is most certainly 10/3 On!!!
@Now or Never: Yea definitely 3/10
