I'm not sure what Blackburn's cash situation is like but Hughes has been complaining about not having any money to spend, I think a big offer for Bentley would tempt them but how much would he cost?
I'm guessing around £9-12m as they'll fight tooth and nail to keep him.
I can't see Blackburn selling him for that.
Put it this way, I wouldn't be surprised if we had to break our transfer record to get him.
Would you pay that for him? Personally i would like us to give Blackburn a take it or leave it but time is against us and clubs wont want to sell their top players so late in Jan.
Yes I would, because he has the potential to be a World class footballer in a few years, I'd rather us sign someone like SWP to play out wide and use Bentley in the centre, he's got all of the attributes to be a top class CM in a few years time, up there with Gerrard and Lampard.
I agree, bentley is pure class; his attitude on the pitch, his vision, his delivery and he's got a wicked driving shot. The lad will be a star and buying him now at (even 15 mil) a seemingly ridiculous price will surely pay dividends in the future.
That being said, will David even want to come to newcastle?
