[DontLookBackInAnger]

Bentley is more of a Mr Hughes type player that Petrov ever will be..

Agreed and I think after what he has done in the transfer market this Summer its about time people gave Hughes their full backing signings wise.

I think Bentley is a good player but even if I didnt I think Hughes has done so well in the transfer market over the past 3 months that he would deserve the beneift of the doubt from me anyway.

How about if he signs we judge Bentley on his performances for our club?

So we should simply close the board? As Hughes knows best there is nothing left to discuss, the reason most people don't think it's a good deal is two fold first the fee reported, which is surely something we as a group can have an opinion on. Secondly the fact that we are trying to sign a player who is disliked around the game by almost everyone, can't get close to the Spurs team and who's career is in the toilet AGAIN, which brings us back again to point one the fact that Spurs are reported as wanting the full value of what they paid for him.

I honestly can't see it being Petrov and £10 mil, Petrov and £5 mil on the other hand, I'd take their arm off.

Will Bentley be happy swapping there bench for ours??? he'd be better cover for Robinho on the left instead of Bellamy but RW for me is Swp and Weiss.

Bentley hasn't whined much in the press about being a bench warmer, but Petrov has openly showed his disappointment over the years and most importantly during the last couple of weeks. It's not like we don't have money, so I think this is a really good deal.

And who knows if Petrov breaks again...

Buying a right winger to play him as left midfielder?

If Tevez or Ade is injured, Bellamy is needed as striker, or as backup to Santa Cruz.

Am sure Bentley can play on both wings mate.......could be wrong but am sure ive seen him on LW a few times.

Of course people can have an opinion but some of the stuff on here is borderline insanity. I dont really class 'I dont like his personality so I dont want him at City' as a valid reason. The vast majority of those who come out with these types of comments are the same people who wanted Vassell at the club because he was a nice guy and want Dunne to stay because he is loyal. The deciding factor should surely always be about the football?

Petrov is in his 30s, he has barely kicked a ball in anger for 12 months and has had previous injury problems prior to this yet people think that we should be getting about £10 million for him despite having paid much less than that ourselves for him when he was a couple of years younger! Petrov also earns £50k+ per week, thats equates to at least £2.5 million per year for the remainder of his contract, for a player who will warm the bench for 99% of the season and moan to the press while doing so! £5 million for him is good business on our part!

As for Bentley he has had a bad time at Spurs but he is a good player, a player who Hughes used to great effect when he last managed him. He is good on the ball and a real threat from set pieces. People should also realise that if Hughes wants him then he will have to pay full whack for him because Spurs have proven time and time again that they do not let players leave on the cheap, if they say they want £15 million for him then that is what we have to pay because they will not roll over and play ball like other clubs.

Getting £5 million knocked off the £15 million they are demanding and will not budge on by letting them have our 30 year old, injury prone, whinging, 3rd choice left winger is excellent business on our part.

Hughes has done extremely well in the transfer market, well enough for me to say that if he wants him its good enough for me!
