Re: I have just been told.............
I wont be getting drawn into that TBH its obvious what the problems are and not alone in my opinion. By not alone I am talking 10s of thousands here I have yet to meet anyone in the flesh that thought it was a good idea.
hopefully Santa Cruz will prove you wrong. According to the training reports he's spending some time training on his own in the gym, and with the physios, and some time in full training with the squad so shouldn't be long before we see what he can do. I don't think we'll see the best of him straight away, and with the way Adebayor is playing it will be hard for him to get the game time he will need. he also needs sevice from the wings, and that perhaps is a bit of a weak point in this team. As good as Robinho and SWP are, they are not really known for delivering pin point crosses, and Adebayor and Santa Cruz are two of the best headers of the ball in the Premiership. That's why I think it could be a good move for City and Bentley. But I'll let it rest now!

If Hughes can get him playing like he did at Rovers under him then it could be an okay deals (the values are way-out but still), not happy with this but think Petrov deserves to play and not warm our bench.

Re: I have just been told.............
From the Guardian:
Tottenham, who have lost the midfielder Luka Modric to a fractured fibula, also want the Manchester City midfielder Martin Petrov, who was believed to be in London tonight. David Bentley, who Tottenham signed for £15m last summer, has been discussed as part of any deal

bentley is dog shit, hughes i think is about to make a big big mistake, he's done well in the transfer market so far, it would be a shame for him to blot his copybook.

Manchester City make last minute bid for England ace
Published 22:48 31/08/09 Exclusive by John Cross
David Bentley has been lined up in a sensational £15million player-plus-cash move to Manchester City.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is close to a £5m deal for City’s Bulgarian left winger Martin Petrov.
But big-spending City and Tottenham are also discussing a last-gasp deal for England international Bentley to go the other way, with cash also changing hands.
Bentley, 25, who last week was banned from driving for 12 months for a drink-driving offence, joined Tottenham for £15m a year ago.
But he has struggled to win a regular spot and also lost his place in the England set-up as he has failed to win over the Spurs fans.
Everton, Aston Villa and Sunderland have all been interested in signing Bentley and Spurs are prepared to sell - as long as they can bring in a replacement.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is also demanding that he gets back almost all of his £15m outlay on the former Blackburn winger.
That has put off other clubs, and Everton even failed with a loan bid, but mega-rich City have the finances to sign Bentley and add the England winger to their expensively assembled squad.
City boss Mark Hughes managed Bentley during their time together at Blackburn and helped turn the former Arsenal trainee into an England international.
That prompted Tottenham to enquire about a possible player-plus-cash deal involving Petrov, 30, who was yesterday pulled out of the Bulgarian national squad to allow him to discuss a move to White Hart Lane.
Petrov nearly went to Tottenham two years ago but, after suffering a long-term knee injury, is now surplus to requirements at City.
But Tottenham are anxious to boost their squad after losing Croatian international Luka Modric for up to three months through injury.
Tottenham also made a cheeky enquiry to take Portsmouth’s Croatian midfielder Niko Kranjcar on loan, but now appear to be getting Petrov in a shock last minute deal.

Re: I have just been told.............
If that's true what a terrible deal...
...however, lest we forget, this is the same guy who said there'd be no more deals after Lescott. (Not doubting you have some sources at the club but you can't have it both ways)

Re: I have just been told.............
What I dont understand is they paid £15 million for him, been shocking since he went there. Cant get in the Spuds side even as a sub. Twichy has been trying desperately to get rid of him since he got there.
Petrov is worth £7 - £8 million at least in this market.
So according to these reports we are effectively offering £ 22 - £23 million for him.
Could anyone actually look me in the face and say they would be happy with such a deal ? You have to draw the line somewhere.

From ITK on Spurs site Kranjcar done for £2m, so I do not think they will now go for Petrov.

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

the guy is top class, etoo is nothing compared to ibra give him a break ffs
Godfather said:luke3210 said:That is the worst deal in the world. I know your in the know spurs, but are you shirt it isn't the other way around - £10mil and bentley for Petrov?
I beleive it could defo happen but i'd be very disappointed if that was the deal.
Cheers Spurs
Im pretty sure Eto'o + £40m for Ibrahimovic takes that award.

Re: I have just been told.............
Yeah, not a concern for me. From what little I know of their relationship, I imagine Hughes could get Bentley to into a lamp-post every day as part of his training regime.
Problem with this deal, from a PR perspective, is that it allies those who don't like Bentley with those who just don't want Petrov to join Spurs. I always thought a move for Bentley was likely, and that it would be the last of the deals, pushed through relatively quietly. Equally, I always felt Petrov would be likely to want to leave. Seems to me city have made a slight error in not selling Petrov abroad beforehand. This proposed deal looks favourable to Tottenham, and City have no opportunity to ameliorate the fans and balance the squad by replacing Petrov.

Re: I have just been told.............
Bentley was good under hughes and if he comes hopefully would good under him again! I like petrov but people on here seem to think hes as good as robbie! He is a decent player who depends heavily on his pace which in my opinion will start to leave him soon and he has a terrible injury record! Bentley is still improving and i think he could a job! He will be good cover for swp and ireland and is a creative player which two days ago people were crying out for ffs! And RSC was bought to give ade competition plus ACON! I think he will be a great player here!

Re: I have just been told.............
Spot on with everything you have said there.
THis will piss off a large proportion of fans IMO. They dont want Bentley AND they dont want Petrov sold. Its a double shit sandwich, with our wealth he should have been sold for less money to a club a broad or at least to a side that we are not competing with in a big way IF he had to be sold at all.
If it happens this will definately bite us back in a big way, Bentley will prove to be a poor singing and Petrov will be awesome at spuds.
Its easy to see what will happen. Things are going so well at the moment, overall we have done brilliant business in this transfer window. I dont understand why we would would do uneccessary deals now that could spoil things or take the gloss off an excellent start to the season and summer window.

These 'stupid' English people have never seen him put in a decent performance against the worlds best though(English clubs) Time will definitely tell but unless he pulls his finger out of his arse against the big boys and scores more goals than Eto'o...Shit bit of business.
