Redknapp revealed: "I got a lovely text from David the other day, not about himself, but wishing me the best of luck with QPR.

"I still think he could be a great player at any club but my job is getting points with this group of players."

He added: "Michael is a great player - he was captain at Tottenham but I am not interested in January. I need points tomorrow and at the weekend against Aston Villa with the squad I have."
