My team can achieve high...HARRY

Having reached the
Champions League second
round, Tottenham manager
Harry Redknapp believes
there are no limits to what
his young team can achieve.
Spurs were due to play AC
Milan at the San Siro on
Tuesday night having
already topped a group
including the reigning
champions Inter Milan.
They were the joint top
scorers in the group stages
alongside north London
rivals Arsenal and have
beaten the likes of Inter and
Arsenal this season.
And Redknapp sees no
reason why challenging for
the Premier League title and
competing in the Champions
League cannot become a
regular feature at White Hart
Lane.
However, he also urged the
club's owners to keep
backing him in the transfer
market.
"It depends how much people
want to take it on, the
opportunity is there," he
said.
"Like everyone, we've got to
keep improving if we want to
compete with the top clubs
and bring in top players.
"We can achieve whatever
we want here, the owners
want to compete so it's up to
them, they hold the key even
more than I do as manager.
"When the transfer window
opened they were willing to
buy a top player, we just
couldn't find what we wanted.
"The owners have backed
us so far so if they keep
doing that, in the next few
years the sky's the limit for
Tottenham."
And Redknapp feels that the
whole club has caught the
Champions League bug and
no-one, the owners ENIC
International included, wants
to give that up.
"I think they would spend if
the right targets come up. To
have Champions League
football for the first time at
Tottenham this year they
realise this is where they all
want to be," added
Redknapp.
"You've got to keep
investing but they're willing
to do that, it's just up to us
to find the right targets in
the summer to keep the
strength of the squad and
the team.
"There's nothing between us
and Arsenal, we're right on
the coat-tails of Manchester
City and Arsenal and we're
sitting above Chelsea (ahead
of their trip to Fulham) at the
moment.
"I'm not saying we're better
than Chelsea but we're not
even a million miles off
Manchester United.
"A few years ago we were
finishing 18, 19, 20 points
adrift but last season it went
down to the wire whether we
would finish above Arsenal.
"We came close so there's
not a lot between the teams.
"We're now genuinely a
team, and Lierpool are
coming back into it again, and
we can genuinely look to be
in the top four every year.
"If we want to keep
progressing and if the
owners do want to keep
doing that and giving us the
backing, we've got a new
training ground coming, a
new stadium, Tottenham are
definitely a big club."
Spurs centre-back William
Gallas played for both
Chelsea and Arsenal before
moving across London a
second time at the beginning
of this season.
He is in a perfect position to
assess how the club has
progressed in recent times.
"The club has changed a lot,
I think now everyone knows
Tottenham because we've
had some good results and
we want to do more," he
said.
"What is important for us is
to win every game and show
everyone what we can do.
"For me and the club that's
the most important thing
because the club want to be
big
