Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits a bid from managerless Chelsea for Luka Modric was a shock for him last week.
Redknapp admitted the bid from Chelsea had been difficult to comprehend given they are still without a manager following the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti last month.
"It is very, very strange and difficult to understand," he said. "But this has been going on for quite a while, not just this week. It's been going on for the last three or four weeks, since Carlo Ancelotti lost his job.
"Somebody else at Chelsea is choosing the players - not the new manager."
