Seems I'm one of the few who thinks he is a very good player....

Oh he is a good player yes, but 10m + petrov who is a good player, not great business is it. But then again, petrov's how old?

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

no, this can't be happening, bently for petrov, and we give them CASH, you might not know which way redknapp is looking, but he's not daft!, i love petrov, great player, to a team who we may be competing for 5th place, it's wrong!

SSN: Kranjcar close to Spurs move, while they also enquire about Petrov

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

I just had a look and this info came from a guy that works for The Sun (He has a top job there). He gets more wrong than right, but would have been told that from the Sports room at the Sun.

Eh? You're saying you know how Spursmad gets his info or just you know where this rumour has come from?

I know the guy that posted it, and I expect the Sun were told or read it somewhere, and they tell him because they know he is a Spurs fan.

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

I'm probably in the minority here but I wouldnt mind this. Bentley isnt a player i'd personally aim for but he does have qualities.

Petrov has had his day IMO, he was one of my favourite players under Sven, but he isnt as good as what we have now. He's a great player to have in the squad but from his attitude this pre season, he sees himself above that. Its a little bit Elano-esque for me. He's 30 now, isnt going to get better and had a bad injury to have at his age last season.

Its a shame, I would have liked to sign him a few years earlier when we were tossing about with Riera and Musampa, though I suspect we would have been a backward step for him at that time.

Petrov's biggest strength is his pace, personally I feel he lost a yard last season when he did play, which is natural as he is 31 soon and will only lose another yard or two. Id prefer to keep him as a squad player but he wants first team football.

Bentley - played his best football under Hughes. Doesnt have the pace of Petrov but has a better delivery. We dont really have a right sided player with a very good crossing ability, he would provide that and would be good service for Santa Cruz and Adebayor. RSC wouldnt have scored half as many for BBurn without him. He may be happier being a squad player then Petrov would be.

I dont like the guy personally, I dont like Bellamy personally, but he's a good player that does well for us and is committed, which is all I want to see from players. If Bentley does the same and gets 10 assists a season, im happy with that.

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

Bentley is a Hughes boy though, from the Blackburn days
He'll need a lift to work everyday though
Should have gone for Sniejder

31 in Jan. Bentley was 25 last week.

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

I would rather keep Petrov than get Bentley but can understand why Hughes may be thinking of swapping him.

It looks like Hughes will be using Robi and Bellamy down the left so that only leaves SWP on the right. I wouldnt say that Bentley is worth more than Petrov though
