Actually for me it's got more to do with the fact we have a right winger and he can't get close to the Spurs team.Marvin said:Petrov is not in our first team, and is past his best after a series of injuries.
Bentley was key to Santa Cruz's goals at Blackburn. I bet the reason why most of you who don't like Bentley has got nothing to do with his ability as a footballer, and more to do with his image - whch is pretty meaningless
Remember the goal he scored for Spurs against Arsenal last season? He's one of the best strikers of the ball in the Premiership, and would be a good addition to our 1st team squad. he hsn't done well at Spurs, in fact the move has been bad for him, but he showed what he was capable of under Hughes at Blackburn. If he could produce that then the service we could get into Santa Cruz and Adebayor would almost guarantee goals.
Looks a little unlikely that this will happen now given that Kranjcar seems close to signing for Spurs which is a disappointment for me, but at least most of you will be happy
You need 2 players for every position, and Bentley and SWP can play in the same team.mcfc_nick said:or that it brings in competition for his place so he could improveBlue Train said:What no one seems to have realised yet is that this is the end for SWP.
Might explain why he couldn't crack a smile in the last game.

When Tevez signed we wondered where SWP would play, and he's ended up playing in the same team.
With Elano going we are a little short of cover on the right of midfield, or central midfield if Ireland or SWP were to get injured.
citoeast said:Everton want Bentley but at £10m, £5m less than the Spuds paid for him.
We are insane if we pay the money quoted plus Petrov for him.
We get rid of Dunne and bring in this failed footballer who is a joke, a big time charlie nearly made a good player footballer. I thought we were strengthening our side.

I love the way you only believe the rumours that suit your agenda.
hope this not true would be gutted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Blue Train said:What no one seems to have realised yet is that this is the end for SWP.

We don't have a right winger. SWP can't cross a ball. he can dribble, but he can't cross, just like Aaron lennon. Spurs don't play with big forwards so they've used Bentley inside.DontLookBackInAnger said:Actually for me it's got more to do with the fact we have a right winger and he can't get close to the Spurs team.Marvin said:Petrov is not in our first team, and is past his best after a series of injuries.
