Harry Redknapp is after pretty boy Hendrie

In a change for Lee Hendrie somebody else is doing the chasing. According to The Guardian, Portsmouth are after the midfielder one whole day after David O'Leary started bleating on about 'small squad' for the 55th time this season.

I have absolutely no doubt in my little world that Lee Hendrie is a better player than Smiler McCann and in my little world I'd have Hendrie starting before Smiler week in week out.

Selling Hendrie in my humble opinion would be a mistake, only topped by selling Crouch, not playing Berson, buying Gavin McCann and Martin Laursen, letting Hitzlsperger leave and hiring David O'Leary in the first place.

Not playing him is already a mistake but it really doesn't surprise me.
