Rich Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 David Bentley has apparently told SSN that he wants to leave Blackburn. Probably off to a better team but would love to see him here. Beat me to it. Be interesting to see where he ends up. You'd have to hope we at least have a crack at signing him, though I'd be amazed to see him come here.

Dave Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Pretty snidey of him to announce his intentions to the Blackburn fans in that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 So he says he wants to play Champions League football or in Europe next year, so that pretty much rules us out. I reckon he'll go to Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he'll go to Liverpool. They can't afford him Man City can, they're in Europe and are managed by Hughes.. A midfield of Petrov - Johnson - Elano - Bentley. Top four-tastic.

Cajun Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 He said ages ago he wanted to play in Europe next season. Thats why I have been saying we don't have a chance of signing him only to be drowned out by "52,000 fans every week, bigger club" etc etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Elano was gash for half the season. In his first season in the premiership. People are way too harsh on Elano. He already showed he could be outstanding in this league and just didn't quite have the stamina to maintain it over the full premier league season. I'm sure he will only get better and more consistent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Is Johnson a holding midfielder? Looked more attacking on the few occasions I saw him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Does the Intertoto Cup for at least two matches (and only two if we don't sign some players beforehand) count as being "in Europe"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From past experience, all you need to kill of those ties are a couple of clinical midfielders/strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one of them could tackle a fish supper and Elano was shit for the lions share of the season. He had a good few months at the start of the season and then went missing. That midfield would be walked all over. Not that Mark Hughes would ever dream of putting such a lightweight team out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Those four, with a decent old school centre forward/target man (Huntelaar?) up front, with a player built like a brickhouse behind, would be quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree this midfield is too lightweight, but Petrov and Bentley out wide! a great combination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
