Redknapp finds City's actions strange
Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp admits he is in the dark regarding Benjani's proposed move to Manchester City.
City revealed late last night that they had failed to complete the deal after not finalising the necessary paperwork in time.
However the move could still go through as the Premier League have confirmed they will examine the paperwork over his proposed transfer.
Redknapp admits he finds it strange as to why City failed to file all the necessary paperwork on time but revealed chief executive Peter Storrie was in discussions with City, the Premier League and The FA about resolving the matter.
"Last night at five to twelve everything was done at our end," Redknapp told
Sky Sports News.
"We were waiting to put the forms through and then Peter [Storrie] got the okay from Man City saying their forms had gone off.
Done deal
"So once their forms had gone through Peter Storrie obviously faxed through all the relevant stuff to the FA and Premier League and as far as we were concerned it was a done deal.
"At 12.30 a message came back saying one or two of the forms from Man City's end has not gone through so I don't know where it is all at the moment.
"He [Benjani] is still in Manchester and the two clubs are obviously talking trying to see where we go with it and we are talking to the Premier League and FA.
"It is disappointing as Peter Storrie could not do any more. When someone tells you they have sent their forms our forms went off and there was nothing else we could do.
"The fact that some forms did not go is very strange.
"I can't really get to the bottom of the whole thing at the moment.
"We have to wait and see how it pans out. We will have to wait and see what today brings."
