Giovani dos Santos believes he never had a chance of making it at Tottenham.
The Mexico star struck twice on the weekend for loan club Racing Santander.
Giovani told fifa.com: "I went through two very tough years, during which I barely played. I just wasn't given a chance.
"The situation wasn't ideal either, because when I signed Juande Ramos was in charge and I was quite regularly involved. Then he got sacked and Harry Redknapp came in, and I've not been part of his plans.
"This season has been more frustrating because I thought I'd get more playing time.
"I came back from the World Cup, played during pre-season and performed very well in several games, but yet again I wasn't given an opportunity.
"I trained hard and gave 100 per cent during the week because I wanted to convince him to give me more playing time, but at the end of the day it's his decision and it didn't go my way. The most important thing is that I'm now doing really well here in Santander."
