Bentley

Christofaux

man city should buy him to play on the other side of Petrov.

Alex

That's actually not a bad idea

Jopub

Simple

Bentley although improved was not good enough for us four years ago and is not good enough for us now

Never coming back, and thank fuck for that

I fully agree when Arsenal fans say Hleb's a better player than Bentley and I can understand those who argue that he's not as good as Rosicky, but not good enough for Arsenal? Whenever an Arsenal fan trots out that line it just sounds petty. Or, if they follow it up by suggesting they'd much rather have Eboué on the right wing... retarded.

Decotron

Seriously doubt that one mate.

rotherham_red

Is that why Arsene wanted him to stay? All it is, is that he was getting restless and wanted out...

Jopub

We've had this crap out in other threads

Bentley is'nt good enough for us ... end of

When I say is somebody good enough I mean can they hold down a first team place ? - Bentley no chance - never

If all our squad were fit he'd just make the bench .... just

He's not in the same class as Hleb or a fit Rosicky - not near
Eboue is a stop gap whilst others are injured

Carry on with your nonsense, or if you want him so badly lets hope he goes to Utd

.......and sits on your bench

Rosicky has done fuck all yet in PL to be counted ahead of Bentley. Not to mention Eboue gets regular games for you lot. So yes, Bentley is good enough for Arsenal to compete with Rosicky, Eboue, Diaby for the second wing.

Jopub

Rosicky even injured has already done enough for us to know that he is in a different league to Bentley, ridiculous comparison - so no he is 'nt good enough - he's Blackburns best player so there are different criteria at work

Hope you lot buy him though and the way you go about everything it'll probably be for £19 million

We's rich bitch.

Laughable to say Bentley is better than Hleb, one of the most ridiculous things I've read on here.

As for Rosicky, when fit he is a better player as well. When he gets going he is superb but has had his injury problems. Bentley is good but apart from Liverpool won't get in any other Top 4 side, will only get their side because their wingers are average.

crappycraperson

Rosicky has shown nothing at Arsenal yet. As I have said before, reputation wise he is better than Bentley. But there is only so long you can live off reputation.

And I am not sure why you gooners keep saying he won't get into your side when Eboue starts every other week for you lot.

He is not a player who would have a big difference to a top 4 team but don't think he would look out of place there.

JCurr

Bollocks. Rosicky has been fucking anonymous for your lot. Why the hell would anyone be high on him when Eboue gets the run out nearly every match? And while Hleb is quality, I certainly don't see his impact as others do. Laughable that so many consider him the best winger in the EPL. Nowhere near as effective as Petrov or Joe Cole. And there's no use in even mentioning a certain boy who is now in his own class for our Reds or his wingmate who was once also great. His dribbling sometimes resembles Giggsy Legend. It has to be said. But to be honest, he'd do well to shine #11's boots. Quite simply, your wingers are overrated. They're pretty, and they play pretty. Congratulations. But it doesn't translate to an end product. If Bentley had not grown tired of sitting around at the Emirates, he'd be starting for you wankers. End of.

Liverpool would buy him if they had sense. He is good enough to be in the top four and challenging for trophies.

GlastonSpur

I don't think so. We need a quality, left-footed LM (to partner Bale at LB down our left flank) and a quality DM to improve our options there.

We already have Lennon for RM, so don't need Bentley for that position and he wouldn't really fit in - or be especially needed - anywhere else. I'd say Liverpool is his most likely destination if he leaves, or perhaps Aston Villa.

Wes

Youse have got a good player in Huddlestone. He should always play. He's as much of as a DM as any team needs. Bentley may not fit in at Spurs, but he's good enough to play for them.

If Liverpool sign him it'll be a waste of money, he's not top 4 class. Can see Everton playing him on the right, with Arteta tucking inside.

JCurr

Good point. Wonder if Ramos will try to pluck Vincente from Valencia. I'm guessing Silva is hands off. But he may be able to take Vincente off them. Seems to have quite a reputation, Ramos... certainly in Spain. Have to say Tottenham's prospects look better than they have in a long time. Huddlestone is a solid player who could certainly suffice for your lot, but another quality option in the centre certainly wouldn't hurt. Zokora is less than impressive.

GlastonSpur

If he's playing as part of a two-man CM partnership, then I think he's actually better playing further up the field as an attacking midfielder, where his creative and good quality passing can help to open up defences. Otherwise his lack of pace/mobility can count against him when operating as the sole DM (playing in a 3 man CM set-up is a different issue).

IMO ideally Ramos should seek the following:

--------- New DM ----------
Lennon - Jenas/Huddlestone - New LM

With both Huddlestone (and Zokora and Jenas) providing DM cover when the first-choice (new) DM is not available.

Or else, in games where a 3 man CM is used:

--------- New DM - Huddlestone ----------
---------------- Jenas -
Lennon

Wes

Well, Spurs are looking like playing 3 up top most of the time I see them, Lennon pushed on. It'll be worth it when Lennon starts shooting

JCurr

Expound, please.

All the bitter Arsenal muppets claiming how shite Bentley is, do make me chuckle. Admit it, Wenger fucked up big time! He is clearly better than Theo Walcott (12 mill anyone?) and has the potential to be better than Hleb and Rosisky. He has basically carried blackburn this year and I reckon if nurtered well would make any of the top 4 sides.
I for one would love to see him at United as part of our rotating 15!

FlawlessThaw

Not fully sure he would be a success there, Liverpool have a tendency to fuck up talented players.

Christofaux

Bentley just crosses all day, he has easy pass options avaliable and he keeps putting long balls across field. He doesnt play to Arsenal's style.

FortBoyard

Bentley is majorly over-rated because he is british. Players like Niko Kranjcar are far better players at similar styled clubs.

Name Changed

Bentley would be a good player for us. He would be better for our team at the moment than Giggs who is in decline (unfortunately)
