The right-sided schemer moved to St Andrew's for the remainder of the season in January after falling out of favour under Harry Redknapp at White Hart Lane. Bentley, who joined Spurs for £15million from Blackburn on a six-year deal in the summer of 2008, saw his career stagnate in north London due to a lack of action. The 26-year-old, who was once tipped to succeed David Beckham on the wing for his country, admits he argued with Redknapp during his time at Spurs and is unsure if reconciliation between the duo is possible. Bentley told the Daily Star Sunday: "We did row at times. That's part of football. It was probably down to me and my frustration because I wanted to be playing. "I left Blackburn for Tottenham because I wanted to force on my career. I thought it was a match made in heaven but it never worked out. "I went there with big ideas, wanting to be part of a team on the up. Not to be a part of that was very difficult to take. "I don't know if I've played my last game for Spurs but a lot of bridges have been burnt. Whether they can be repaired, I don't know. "But I don't want to sit at Tottenham until I'm 30, doing nothing. I could do that in north London with everything there for me but I want to play every week. That's why I came here." Bentley has denied suggestions that his part in the stunt which saw Redknapp drenched in water after the club qualified for the Champions League with victory over Manchester City last season was motivated by anything other than celebration. He added: "The perception might have been that I'd done it to get back at him. "But I was buzzing because I knew what getting into the Champions League meant to everybody. It seemed like a good idea at the time. "We even then went looking for the chairman!"
