Interpolic Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It still makes me laugh, that. Is he really necessary? Would this skilful prick add anything to the team? I don't know why I'm trying to re-phrase it when it was really funny in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Well I think the skilful prick would add something. KK fitted Barton in on the left and we're now playing him down the right. Barton isn't a winger he's only doing that job because he's one of our best players and we are finding a place to get him in the side around what else we've got. He is really a central midfielder. Routledge can kill a left back for pace but his delivery is shall we say inconsistent. Bentley will put good crosses in, can pick a pass, and can score goals btw. I still don't know what to believe about this rumour but if it comes off its ok by me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Scottwilsonecho Scott Wilson @airborneracimo They've asked about both [bentley and Keane], but I'm told Bentley is the one they're really after. Spurs want to sell rather than loan though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chubby Jason Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I think he's said an offensive player all along, not necessarily a striker Yeah true, it is glaringly obvious though that a getting a forward in is a priority, I shudder to think where we would be had Carroll not had such a start to the season.

Ah yeah I wouldn't disagree. The thing is, I wouldn't be suprised for Pardew to think 'we've got a few strikers - Carroll, Shola, Loven, Best, Ranger' with out seeing that only one of them is scoring and suggesting we get someone who can deliver. Bentley would be decent, but from what i've read he sounds like a bit of a c**k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the reason why we wont buy another striker? Maybe the plan all along is to use Ben Arfa off Carroll - and hope that we pick up goals along the way till HBA is fit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chubby Jason Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I remember Capello's first England game and Bentley was great. He started on the right and moved into the middle, his delivery great in both positions. If he can recreate with with AC up front we could be deadly.

Ikon Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Read in a swedish newspaper that he's supposed to be asking for 25-30k/week. That's not much imo if those numbers are to be believed. Never heard anything about him having a bad attitude either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I think Bentley would be brilliant for us, I also think there is zero chance he will sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Really hope this comes off. Beggars can't be choosers here and if we give him plenty game time he could return to his best which I'd love to see. Is his injury record poor or has he just been overlooked for a long time? I don't understand it myself.. Either way, a long way until this is even confirmed. Personally, my fingers are crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
