Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has claimed that his outburst about highly paid players was only aimed at "one or two" of the members of his squad.

Redknapp revealed his anger at the "overpaid" players at the club following the defeat to Newcastle United on Saturday but insists he is happy with the majority of the players at Loftus Road.

"I wasn't talking about all the players, I was talking about certain players," the former Tottenham Hotspur manager said. "I've got no problem with players who are earning good money, and value for their money, I just felt there are one or two who haven't given this value.

"It's difficult. When Mark [Hughes] brought these players in, massive money wasn't spent here on transfers.

"So what they had to do is take chances. You have to take chances on players, you get them free and you pay them decent, bigger money and it's all a gamble."

QPR are currently 19th in the Premier League.
