David Bentley

I think Redknapp would regard us as 'rivals' next season, so he probably wouldnt sell to us.

He's not really what we need, we need pace!

I'd certainly take him though, for the right price.

Is that a joke?

He's one of the quickest players in the Prem.

David Bentley?

David Bentley?

David Bentley.

A couple of seasons ago Nike did that thing where they measured how fast players run to the ball and with the ball.

He was behind like Agbonlahor, Ronaldo, Lennon et al. at running to the ball, but running with the ball was second only to Rooney.

EDIT:

Actually, according to the list he's the fastest dribbler.

Agreed. Dont think he works hard for he team. he's more for himself.

He never looks quick to me, I've got to be honest.

I'm not saying he's slow, he's quicker than Osman and Pienaar but that doesn't make him quick.

He's always being compared to Beckham, his game is all about getting crosses in early, he's not a byline hitter.

 

[Rook]

Not a good attitude. I think he makes as much as Arteta and Peanut combined as well.

 

[TyphooToffee]

I wouldn´t mind having a go for him.

Same here, he played well in a hard-working side at Blackburn and the Blues, of course, are a hard-working side too..

 

[TyphooToffee]

I'd bite Spurs hand off. We need some quality on our Right hand side, he fits the bill perfectly. Moyes would get the best out of him.

Spot on!

He would be a much better option than Osman tho. But I can see them wanting biggish money and hes a risk.

Ofcourse, he's a good player.

I'd take him for the right price.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Spot on!

Yep. I'd rather someone like Bentley who is more skillful and can cross the ball acurately on the wing than someone who is fast but has no decent end product.

We don't need a pacy winger we need a skillful one (also known as Pienarr V2.0)

Saying that he can be very hit and miss Bentley with a slightly suspect attitude and even more suspect haircuts.

And i can't see him being cheap. Shame he will be out of our price range probably.

This forum is so boring - you want to reply to the new thread and then ToxtenthBlue comes first and post qoutes you had a plan to use. Shame on you .

Would prefer somebody more pacy and more aggressive, but we have a players who can capitalize on his crossing ability, so no complaints from me, if we would sign him.
