Peter Crouch?

His best England days were behind him and he probably wouldn't get game time.

Bentley apparently called Capello Postman Pat to his face so i guess he didn't take being called up that seriously.

People shouldn't be so quick to dismiss rent a quote just because you don't like what he says, quite frankly.

They are dismissing it because 1) it is H saying it 2) the timing is when England have been knocked out 3) how is his comment even relevant??

It's essentially PR spin saying Come And Get Me to the FA. He knows QPR will be fighting relegation and thinks there is a chance of Roy getting sacked.

He is a Rentaquote Classless Prick

The reason so many dismiss him his because he is full of shit and behind everything he says is a agenda.

Surprised it was only 2 or 3

King, Defoe and Lennon certainly for the way they have been treated by England

I don't think Bentley was ever in our team long enough to get a call up

David Bentley (7 England caps) - LOL!
Jermain Defoe (55 caps) - Doubtful
Tom Huddlestone (4 caps) - Doubtful
Aaron Lennon (21 caps) - Huge suspect, Almost certainly him
Jermaine Jenas (21 caps) - I'm more concerned with the fact that Jenas has 21 caps.
Darren Bent (13 caps) - Could be Bent? Seems like a moody shit
Jamie O’Hara (0 caps) - Obviously not
Michael Dawson (4 caps) - Can't see it
Ledley King (21 caps) - Injury problems
Jonathan Woodgate (8 caps) - Injury problems
Kyle Naughton (0 caps) - Obviously not
Kyle Walker (10 caps) - Doubtful in my opinion and was just starting out
Peter Crouch (42 caps) - Always banging on about wanting to play for England
Danny Rose (0 caps) - Obviously Not
Scott Parker (18 caps) - Pretty certain It's not him
Jake Livermore (1 cap) -
Obviously not

Redknapp keeps coming out with this. He should be asked to name names or shut up because he is tarnishing so many of our players who did play for England.

Wouldn't blame Lennon if he was one of them. They treated him like shit. Took him to the WC and started him, then never gave him the ball and dropped him for it. That was when he was good, now he's lost it.

I really wish he'd just go away.

You were a decent manager here until you (and just you) fucked it up. You managed to get QPR relegated then barely promoted again despite having a side costing more than the space station. You've not had a thing to do with Tottenham Hotspur for twenty-four months, in this time we've had two people I'm far happier to call our manager than you, and even the one I wasn't content with at least didn't come across as quite so thirsty for attention.

You are a grown-ass man bitter because your ex has moved on and the girl you tried to cheat on her with still doesn't want you. Please Harry, just grow up.

Either be bold enough to name them. Or just shut up. In fact, shut up anyway.

It's not his club any more and we still have to put up with his petty monthly swipes at everyone. For me he's undone all the good he did whilst here all I remember him as now is a bitter gobshite.

Its Harry. Twist the blade a bit more, can't possibly be true, Harry's a gobshite. He's made it up.

Or, like it or not, it's true. This kind of thing has been going on at pretty much every club for years.

As to whom? Meh.

But why say it A&C? If you're not going to name the people don't bother...as other people are guilty by association now.

Terribly unfair IMO.

Steven Gerrard has asked Harry Redknapp to name and shame the players otherwise all the Tottenham players who played for him at the time are under suspicion. He adds that he knows Defoe isn't one of them:

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...players-who-avoided-england-duty-9555421.html

I know we as fans don't know the players personally but we do get a good impression of their passion and desire for the game.

Out of all those players I can't fathom 2-3 that would do that and by the sounds of how O'l Candleface put it on a few occasions.

Lennon possibly. No real evidence for that assumption.

My guess is that Harry is embellishing a single incident. Because he's a attention seeking knobhead.
