Shunned Spurs keeper disillusioned with life at the Lane
Out-of-favour Tottenham goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa admits he regrets making the move to White Hart Lane.
The Croatia No.1 arrived in North London on a season-long loan from Russian giants Spartak Moscow last August.
Pletikosa claims Spurs gave him assurances he would get the opportunity to battle for the gloves with first-choice shot-stopper Heurelho Gomes during his time at the Premier League club.
But the 32-year-old has endured a frustrating season since being signed by manager Harry Redknapp, making a solitary Carling Cup appearance back in September and falling behind Carlo Cudicini as Spurs' third-choice keeper.
Pletikosa, a regular for his country over the last decade, winning 82 caps, admits he has been left disappointed by the loan move.
He said: "Spurs assured me I would get a chance to compete with Heurelho Gomes to be No.1.
"Now, looking back, I realise that my move was a mistake."
