[Archived] Bentley

[Billy Castell]

He would probably go crap and sulk.

[RovertheHill]

Speaking of which, not sure if it's been posted elsewhere but a couple of reports on Newsnow that he's unhappy with his role at Spurs and has been in to see Ramos.

Oh dear

What a pity

Never mind

[Hughesy]

Not playing in his position, not playing for England, bottom of the league!

Grass is greener and all that!

[DanLad]

There's a lot to be said for being a big fish in a small pond!

[Hughesy]

Its the old Blackburn Curse

[Bobby G]

How many of our players over the past 15 seasons can we say left us for BETTER times elsewhere?

May and Berg maybe. Possibly Henchoz at Liverpool as well.

The Newcastle exodus definitely didnt.

In recent years, many other players come to mind too, especially Bellamy.

There must be some sort of curse really and I wish some players open their eyes up and realize that Blackburn Rovers is a good place to play your football, but I can understand them from one perspective and that being that the owners MUST spend some money to show that the club can match the players ambitions...

[vintageadidas]

I agree, i think certain clubs are geared up for certain things. It's hard to explain, but i just dont think the likes of Newcastle will be successful - you could say its not in their blood.

Like Arsenal, in 10 years time - complete new team and different manager, they will still play quality attacking football.

Players do well at Ewood for some reason and i think a takeover of Rovers would be more successful than NUFC, West Ham ...etc

[RovertheHill]

I think DanLad hit the nail on the head. If you are a creative player or a goalscorer is it better to be a big fish in a small pond where everything is geared to your game or move to a bigger club where you are just one of the cogs. I think you have to be truly exceptional to make that step. As for Berg and May, I think it is easier for a defender because you generally are part of a unit and I think expectations are lower

[Hughesy]

Possibly add into that list Le Saux and Duff. Although neither really hit the level you would think they would from when they were with us

[waggy]

can't say i'm suprised bents is struggling at spurs,the fans are even raking him playing for arsenal up.wrong move for him,but great deal for us

[Hughesy]

Also according to some rumours he has had bust up with Jenas too! Even better!

[RovertheHill]

Buy him back in January for half price

[Mr Creosote]

Speaking of which, not sure if it's been posted elsewhere but a couple of reports on Newsnow that he's unhappy with his role at Spurs and has been in to see Ramos.

Oh dear

What a pity

Never mind

****in' boohoo

[martmitch]

sitting here watching spurs struggle in poland wondering how spurs star summer signing hardly even gets a game anymore, as he wanted a move to further his chances of england place I think its resulted in the exact opposite, grass isnt greener on the other side comes to mind

[RibbleValleyRover]

Wonder if Ramos will get the chop tonight...

No sympathy for Bentley whatsoever.

[cn_barlow]

I think this result will buy him another few weeks...

[Ronin]

Wonder if Ramos will get the chop tonight...

I hope not. The longer the Spuds can suffer before Levy panics and changes the management the better, so anytime in January would be good.

[Amo]

I don't know if anyone read Brian Reade's column in today's Mirror, but he was laying into Terry Venables for making a scapegoat of Dimitar Berbatov for Tottenham's woes. He finished by asking whether Tel would consider Bentley a mercenary too for leaving Blackburn to White Hart Lane, or don't teams outside London count?

[Frisky Jim]

If anybody deserves sacking at Spurs it's Damian Comolli. £17 million for Darren Bent?

We should've taken Spurs to the cleaners with Bentley.

[Darwen Rover]

very few players have left the mighty Rovers tobe better players...................

Now.. question to you guys, if we could do a SWP style deal for Bentley to return, would you be happy / unhappy...?? I know my thoughts...

[roversmum]

Depends which Bentley we are going to get...

[philipl]

Dropped by Spurs again today.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Spurs 1-0 down at HT, Ramos must be close to a sacking.

Poor David, not featuring again?...

[1864roverite]

Who cares ?

Spurs are in freefall couldnt have happened to a bigger or better club

(aw it did do with birmingham!)

[Ben-2000]

Poor Bentley... poor Spurs

Keep it going Hull
