Re: I have just been told.............

Here is the news from the ITK at Spurs.

Pablo/Roger right re Bentley! Levy has asked for 10m in deal and petrov. (So Spurs made a offer, does not mean that City will agree to it)

Krancjar has had medical deal agree but subject to pompey signing 2 or 3 more players. (This should happen)

James no go....- Levy wont do it . (That will be the end of that one)

Hutton - 2 bids in- not sure who from nor if £££s or loan (?)

Chavez- asked for him to stay on trial and will sign on free if ok next week!
(This guy is a fall back centre half <a class="postlink" href="http://goal.com/en/news/9/england/2009/08/24/1458469/tottenham-hotspur-closing-in-on-signing-honduran-osman" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://goal.com/en/news/9/england/2009/ ... uran-osman</a>)

Re: I have just been told.............

Yeh, I remember when he signed Adebayor, Tevez, Barry, Given etc for Blackburn...

You do say some silly things sometimes.

Gary Cooks "comfort zone" comments when he first came are turning out to be right on the money.

Hughes philosophy is proving correct so far is it not? 3 wins out of 3? If he thinks Bentley can do well then im inclined to believe him.

Re: I have just been told.............

If this was a year ago before he left Blackeyed Rovers to join Spuds then I am sure Bentley joining city would be getting a different reaction. He was a good player under Hughes and Petrov will want to go, and should do, to get regular starts having just lost his second season due to injury

Got to agree with that, Bentley has had one average season at Spurs but he was cracking at Blackburn and I reckon he could do a good job under Hughes again. A straight swap of Petrov for Bentley, maybe with us paying a little bit of money wouldn't be a bad deal on our part because even if he was crap then he would retain most of his value but 10 million is taking the mickey

Re: I have just been told.............

Never been keen on bentley cos of his attitude but the same could have been said for Bellers so if this happens and Bentley becomes a City player then I will give him the benefit of the doubt....it worked with Bellers and I cheered him as loud as anyone yesterday.

You do say some silly things sometimes.

Gary Cooks "comfort zone" comments when he first came are turning out to be right on the money.

Mourinho, Benitez, Ancelotti, etc all brought in several players they had worked with before. Your trying to make out like he's only buying players he's familiar with, which is blatantly not the case.

Re: I have just been told.............

How much did Spurs pay for Bentley in the first place?? it wasn't much more than 15m, Stoke are offering 5m for Petrov and Spurs are of the view that Bentley's value hasn't dropped at all, they really can fuck off.

I wouldn't think Hughes philosophy has been proven one way or the other.

We should be looking to break into the top 4, and build a squad that will one day challenge for the title.

IMO, the three players that he seems to have an obsession with (RSC, Bellamy, Bentley) are the least likely to contirbute to that.

Also IMO, when he moves away from these signings that he must have he ends up buying much better players for the short term and long term. Thats why something like this will be extremely frustrating if it comes true, we can do so much better (and thats even before I start thinking about the bloke who is only slightly less obnoxious than Bellamy).
