Durham is illiterate as far as football goes, one day he winds up Arsenal fans, the next day Chelsea and this time it’s our turn. If not enough listeners phone in the object of stupidity is changed, it’s all about listeners phoning in and making the radio company money.
Don’t listen to his tripe opinions and most importantly ignore your phone while he is on air.

Doesn’t Durham himself prove that Bale and Tottenham don’t owe anything to Redknapp?

“Harry was forced to put him in the first team when Benoit Assou-Ekotto suffered injury”

Redknapp didn’t want to play Bale, he wanted to loan him out. He just had no other option but to play him. He also kept saying that he will be a left back when it is obvious to everyone that Bale is a left-winger now.

It’s all been said. Harry didn’t sign him and wanted to sell him; he stagnated initially under Redknapp who did not know what to do with him. AVB has improved the team; the shape; the defending inidvidual players in a way that Redknapp never could. And, as everyone knows, Durham is an idiot who knows nothing about football and has to be controversial so that people listen to his pathetic radio show.

Redknapp did not sign Bale, who came to spurs in 2007. He certainly was not a weakling, and, in fact, had already produced some outstanding performances for Wales against teams such as Russia and Germany, before becoming a star for Spurs. I would not expect Adrian Durham to be aware of this.

Durham’s love of all things ‘Arry and wish to see AVB fail sees him come out with some absolute rubbish.
He claimed the day Harry signed for QPR he would lead them to finish above Spurs this season.

Harry didn’t sign Bale he was already at the club when Harry arrived, Harry WAS forced into playing Bale, he didn’t fancy him at all.

Bale was extremely talented before he joined Spurs, he had a run of bad luck and was emotionally and physically immature. He picked up a quite serious injury but then ran scared from most challenges.

As he matured and filled out he rediscovered his form, maybe Harry told him to “man up” I am unaware of this, but really Harry was extremely lucky to inherit Bale and the rest of the Spurs squad he did.

And Harry blew it so unlucky. ANd shut up Durham you are absolutely full of it.

Harry owe it all to Bale, the reason why he stay in the spurs job that long, Andre has improve Bale and Lennnon 100%, they were Ineffective when played out of they usual position, but effective every where now.
