Redknapp wasn’t interested in Bridge
Harry Redknapp today confirmed that he was not interested in signing England and Chelsea left back Wayne Bridge. Rumours had been linking Bridge with a move from Chelsea to Portsmouth however the player signed a new four year deal yesterday.
Talking to BBC Radio Solent Redknapp said "I never expected to get Wayne Bridge. I think he's a terrific player in all honesty, but that was never a goer.
"I read the papers but there was nothing in that at all," he added.
"We never made any contact with Chelsea or Wayne Bridge or anybody else, that was just a name that someone dug up from somewhere."
Redknapp also hinted that wide left is more than a problem than left back and Portsmouth is more likely to bring in cover at center back "Hermann [Hreidarsson] is fantastic for us, I've got no problems there. It's just that you're looking to strengthen your squad.
"We are still short on the left-hand side. We've got no-one apart from Nico [Kranjcar] that can play wide left if we get a problem and want to change things around.
"And centre-half is an area we've looked at in case Sol [Campbell] is not going to play every game. But we've got Noe Pamarot if he stays fit so that was just looking around.
There's no-one in particular that we are after and we're not close to doing any business with anybody else at the moment.
