Redknapp wants stronger players

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admitted he is haunted by the fear of relegation after his misfiring side scraped into the Carling Cup final, despite losing 3-2 at Burnley last night.

Spurs will bid to retain the trophy they won last season when they face Manchester United at Wembley on March 1 after extra-time goals from Roman Pavyluchenko and Jermain Defoe secured an aggregate 6-4 victory.
