Tottenham boss Redknapp excited by Saha, Adebayor partnership

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is excited about their new strike-partnership of Louis Saha and Emmanuel Adebayor.

Both were on the scoresheet for victory over Newcastle United.

Although Adebayor's contribution can not be overlooked - he played a part in every goal - Saha's two strikes on his first start were worthy of high praise too.

"Adebayor and Saha were unplayable in that early period and there was no stopping us after that," Redknapp said.

"There was some great finishing. I took the chance of playing Saha today.

"Some people questioned why I signed him but I've always thought he is a top player. If you can keep him fit, you have a real player on your hands."
