iaintoomer Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Regardless of all else, he is terrific value for money. (at least according to BBC website today) Everton will ask Tottenham about taking David Bentley after being quoted £15 for the former Blackburn winger last week. Full story: Daily Mirror To buy him at 15 quid, Bill would even be able to afford a years worth of Taxi fares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jofanon Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Lost his way at Spurs (who doesn't?) but it wasnt that long ago when he was getting MOTM awards for England. Love him here. Not sure where he fits into the team but he's quality. Perhaps defensive mid is more pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 if we got him it would certainly bring competition to the team, that is what we need. and the ability to change things around. we dont have another player like him in the team, different options can always help any manager. rambling now, but i want him.

Ian C Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 He's the type of player that will always have a £6m-£8m fee to a Sunderland or a Wolves. So if he fails miserably it won't be a massive loss. Not that he will fail. I think he's a quality player and I'd love to see him here. Those Beckham comparisons weren't given lightly, the boy can cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allmark-Blue27 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 yeah! just think of yak on the end of one of bentleys crosses he could be even lazier . we'd also have 4 contestants for freekicks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottirishkearns Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 He's better than Osman, so it's definitely an improvement to the first XI. But £15 mil is a bit steep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainFerguson10 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Bentley will only be sold, so I can 't see Everton paying above ten for him. If Moyes wants a winger, sign that other Russian bloke who looks better than Bentley anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) I think Bently would be a great signing. He his a fantastic crosser of the ball, and his passing ability is also very good. He has a good shot, and would compliment our team. He is good at tracking back, and importantly can play in the middle as well as on the right (although we have a derth of central midfielders). At Blackburn he made their side tick, with Pederson and could do the same for us with Pienaar and the new Russian lad. It gives us options that we need at the level we are aiming for. Crikey just add Arteta (god bless him) into the mix and we lots of creative options and threats for opponents. If we get the signings we are roumerd to be after we will have a very VERY good squad. Please God lets get these players on and kick on as a team! Edited August 29, 2009 by London Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 he's never made anything tick You have a very short memory because he was absolutely quality at Arsenal & Blackburn. Its only since he joined Spurs that his career has stalled, and to be fair he has been in and out of the side and often played out of position since he has been there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Pederson was ok until he did the dive of shame, his assists per season . Anyway Bently is quality and I believe that DM will get the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 i dont think we need bentley now that we have Billy. Billy is left sided and Bently is right sided, most of our recent problems have come down the right when we have had to play Ossy, Bently would would make the right side much stronger especialy with Mr H from Atletico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazRicho Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 To be honest I just cant see Bentley coming. If he does then great but I wont believe anything the papers talk about until I see them holding a scalf aloft next to Moysey. Its all gone very quiet regarding Banega hasnt it.................

If this does happen it means either Billy or Pienaar will be warming the bench. Billy is too expensive for that and Pienaar is playing too well for that. I think a defensive mid is more important at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have anywhere near as much money as the "Top Clubs" so with the little money that we do have wouldn't it be wiser to improve the positions that need improving rather than just creating competition.

Calico Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 With Pienaar off in January for a month I wonder if he would be a good player to compete with Arteta for the right-sided position, better than Osman for it probably but then . . . what about Gosling? I would much prefer to see Pienaar and Gosling competing for that role and then either Arteta, Gosling or Osman be the mainstays over on the right. Of course, I am desperate to see Arteta in the middle so am hoping that Moyes doesn't find a reason for him to be shunted out there either way. Over all I think only if it is a low fee and his wage demands are not too ridiculous as, to be honest, I'm not sure he is good enough all round to be one of the best paid players at the club.

lilpyrokid951 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 with heitinga looking like he'll be the answer to our right back slot, we can forget a double swoop for bentley and hutton. and with banega looking less and less like to happen by the minute, i think it would be a good piece of business to get bentley and jenas and get rid of ossie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
