Harry Redknapp insists Spurs have no plans to let David Bentley and Roman Pavlyuchenko leave for knock-down prices when the transfer window reopens.
Both are being tipped to leave White Hart Lane in the New Year after failing to secure regular first-team football under Redknapp.
Spurs shelled out nearly £30million on bringing to pair to the club and Redknapp insists that if they are allowed to leave that it will not be for a bargain price.
Redknapp has confirmed that chairman Daniel Levy will have the final say on deals, however if he were brokering the fees that he would be looking to recoup as much as possible.
“David would like to move, there is no doubt about that,” explained Redknapp. “He feels he needs to move on and play.
“Obviously Pav wants to move but we are not mad to sell them. They are not going cheap and are both good players.
“It is up to the chairman and whether he gets the money and it is the right offer. I would not let them go cheaper. Otherwise you end up giving them all away.
“I won’t let my emotions get in the way of the fee we get for Pav and Bentley.” (Sky Sports)
Tottenham look a totally different side to the one that Harry Redknapp took over just over a year ago and the White Hart Lane boss has slowly worked his magic in the transfer market and got the most out of the players who were already at the club when he arrived but it appears more than likely that neither David Bentley or Roman Pavlyuchenko have much of a future at the club.
Bentley has failed to justify the price tag Tottenham paid Blackburn Rovers for the England international and the former Arsenal man has found himself warming the bench for pretty much the entire time Redknapp has been at the club but it seems that whilst some clubs, Man City and Aston Villa to name two, have shown interest in the attacker, no one has actually come forward with a bid.
Roman is in a slightly different category to David in that he has performed pretty well when called upon but has found himself slipping down the pecking order due to new Tottenham arrivals. Harry may well like to keep hold of the Russian but the former Spartak man needs to be playing regularly at his age and deserves to be at a club who could well use his services and the likes of Roma and Valencia have been sniffing around the big forward.

Both can go, they’ve expired my patience. However, with Hughes no longer at City I only hope that they still want Bentley. In a perfect world Liverpool will sack Rafa & appoint Sparky ( it could happen
) & Bentley will end up with the scousers. I could actually see him doing OK up there. He would suit playing next to someone like Gerrard & I think they’ve needed a proper right-sided midfielder for a very long time

. . . plus Spurs are very good at mugging North-West clubs for cash when it comes to transfers: Michael Carrick, Berbatov, Robbie Keane – all bought for twice their value

It’s probably best for all concerned if they were to move to pasures anew,as we really need players that have a strong mentality as well as being quality footballers so they can move us on to the next level,and I think perhaps David and Roman though very gifted technicaly are ready for another challenge in their game.

It’s also pertinent to add that other than Torres and Gerrard, cant really see anyone else in the Liverpool team getting in to a spurs side. Tottenham are pretty much stronger in all positions.

Liverpools squas is awful. I have said from day 1 of the season that they will finish nowhere. The surprise is not that they are eighth now but the miracle is that they somehow finished 2nd last year. I know Alonso was good (Rafa you mug), but him in the middle and a fit Gerrard and Torres were papering over the cracks of a seriously shit squad. The only other player I like is Johnson who is seriously good going forward, but even he is having problems defending. Retryboy – carragher was good but is shot. Even at the top of his game however he wouldn’t be fit to tie Kings bootlaces, or woodgates for that matter.
COYS – Spurs to finish fourth, Liverpool to put a run together and finish a commendable seventh (with that squad and manager)

Don’t sell pavly. He is still good. Redknapp should rotate the strikers. But robbie keane should be sold. He is useless. Spurs shud offload him and get a young striker
