    Has he been our most expensive ever flop ?
    He has done next to nothing since signing.
    He has been an absolute disgrace tonight, not trying a leg.
    He should never wear the Spurs jersey again.

    Yes to all.

    Went missing for long periods of the game especially in the 2nd half.

    very disappointing tonight. doesnt he call himslef a spurs fan? to play like that against the arch rivals? i think lads on here would have done better than him tonight

    At least Rebrov ran around.
    Bentley didn't break sweat tonight against our rivals and his old club.

    Cnut must be laughing when he looks at his bank balance every day.

    even at the start of the game last night, there was bentley standing in the centre circle with tatoos all the way up his arms, he even looked like an ape

    i really think we should cut our losses on him and let him off for any ammount of money

    We'd be lucky to get rid of him on loan. We paid a fortune for him, and he is on crazy money. And remember we signed him when we already had Lennon :rolleyes:

    Lets not all be wise after the event though, everyone thought he was a good signing at the time no matter who we had in the squad.

    It hasn't worked out and now its time to move on. I reckon we'll swap him + cash for Pienaar in January

    piennar is out of contract next summer so no cash will be involved if we give a player id say

    In fairness, it was widely regarded as a strange signing at the time. We had Lennon up and coming and were crying out for a left sided player, and we spend a fortune on another right sided player :rolleyes:

    Anyway, that's all water under the bridge now. I have said enough about him, my feelings are well known.

    Lennon had played over a hundred games for us before Bentley signed, so saying he was piss poor is silly. He was young with great potential who many expected to become a first team regular which he has.

    ok he had potenital , but he wasn't setting the world on fire - when we signed bentley he started to deliver - a sort of rocket up his arse which he could do with now

    He just seems too much of a messer.

    I read an interview with Woodgate, who is not a shrinking violet and he said Bentley is just bannanas.

    On the Arsenal game, it galled me the way he played and someone who really wants to play and adds value like Niko is sitting on the bench.

    Pieenar wants to come to us, but there is noting to say Moyes will still be at Everton in January. Just cant see Everton score goals to keep him in the job, especially with a canditate like O Neill in the wings.

    Give him a few games before ye all condemn him! I thought he had a great end to last season so perhaps there's still something left in him?

    You would imagine that Harry told Bentley that the right wing position was up for grabs as Lennon is playing poor at the moment and to go out and put in a performace against Arsenal.
    You would imagine that Bentley would be fired up. He is a Spurs fan, he was playing against his old team, his old manager and he also had a chance to win a place in the Spurs team.
    What he proved in the Arsenal game is he doesn't care about anything only himself. I reckon actually having to play a game every now and then is a big inconvience for him.
    We don't have a reserve team and he won't get near the match day squad after that display so if the lads train 2 hours a day the most he will have to "work" is about 10-12 hours a week.

    I will reiterate my stance.
    The fella is a joke and should never have been on the pitch tonight.

    While Lennon is out, he is a very good replacement. He's played about 2 games all season so it's harsh to criticise him on his performance last night. Players need games to get up to speed when they've been out injured.

    How? And who would you prefer to replace Lennon. Please don't say Kranjcar because he is crap at right mid.

    Bentley hasn't played this season very much, and for those who seem to have a short term memory, try to remember, when Lennon was out at the back end of last season, Bentley came in and did a very good job at right midfield. And we ended up finishing 4th.

    Yeah, we definitely dont want him!! Young Darrell Horgan has twice his work-rate (no joke).
    I am now in full agreement that we need to get rid of him. Was useless last night and showed no interest in the game whatsoever. Zero workrate, zero heart. We dont need him. If we get Pienaar for him oh how I would laugh!

    Jenas would have done fine on the right no doubt.

    Jenas is not a right midfielder though. He would have done no better than Bentley.

    He'd work harder and put in more effort.

    I'd play Jenas there. Not that he's all that but he'd be better than Bentley. In fairness Bentley wasn't bad back end of last season though I do think it's a bit of leap to credit his displays with our finishing 4th;) .

    We should have jogged him on when his stock was "high" last summer.
