ED209 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Corluka is a class right back tbh. Very smart, good passer, good positional sense, very underrated going forward too (doesn't bomb forward or anything but is very smart when deciding when to bomb forward and support the winger. He lacks pace though which is probably his only flaw. Would be a quality signing for you guys but i doubt very much we'd let him go in January, So he doesnt bomb forward but is good at deciding when to bomb forward? I am confused.

Not really that confusing is it? he doesn't bomb forward OFTEN but picks the right times to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 He's definitely an improvement on Simpson, but not someone for the long-term, imo. Hasn't been that good for Spurs for a season and a half or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two that i know seem to think he is the worst player to have ever played football!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Mark Lawrenson claiming Liverpool have signed Bent from Villa How much is he claiming has been paid? Villa would surely not want to let him go unless the fee was silly mind you, considering its Cunterpool, it wouldn't suprise if they paid in excess of the fee given to the Mackems for him.

I heard £24m. A sale this early means the Mackems lose out on £6m as well in bonuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Bent would be a ridiculous signing for a club aiming to get in the top 4 (as he already showed at Spurs). Like Carroll he can only play one way and that's if the team is completely set up for him, he's showing again at Villa he's anonymous in any other system.

Absolute lolfest if Liverpool pay £20 million for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 1 in 3 under Mcleish. And since he offers nothing else but goals that isn't great, you might aswell play 10 men for most of the games. He will get you nearly 2 goals a game if you set the whole team up for him but that means few other players score many and you won't get any higher than mid table.
