      But Crouchy I would rather spend money on definite starting players.

      Not squad players who i dont think are all that good. I wouldnt say no to him if he was cheapish but anything abobe £5-6million and I wouldnt bother.

      The wingers I would personally look at are Young, Turan, even N'Nogbia.

      I'd rather buy two of those than a Spurs Reserve.

      Yeah so would i mate, and said if he comes then i would only like him to come if another winger came with him. Bentley by himself would not suffice. If he accompanied a top notch winger i think it would be a great bit of business because we'd have a new look on our wings and a bit more confidence in them as an attacking outlet.

      Perhaps.

      Spend money on Young, Mata or Turan first though.

      Bentley should be last resort. We can do better.

      Hodgson will sign Zoltan Gera for £5million and call him a "great coup" I expect :)

      Why don't we buy the whole Spurs reserve team sure they are a bigger team then us now. If we sign Spurs players now it should be there best players.

      I think with the right manager i think he could offer more than Kuyt and Maxi on the right hand side. Both are the wrong sides of 30 now and Bentley can still whip a cross in and he is a natural winger, somthing we have not had since Pennant.

      Thing about Bentley is he is slooooooooooooowwwwwwww. Would be similar to Joe Cole for me when he plays on the left - unable to get down the line in order to whip in the cross.

      Once he is at the by-line he is a very good crosser and £5M aint much of a risk

      Hmmm

      Only Gerrard can cross a ball for us.

      Bentley can whip a good ball in and has a creative edge. Something we really lack. Why not for a cheap price?

      Ooo no sorry I F***ing forgot, we judge players from what clubs they come from rather than if they offer anything to our squad. :D

      Think he would be a decent squad player for us, he sticks out wide, technically is a good player and as has been said he can actually cross a ball.

      I'm sick of seeing us have people out wide who cut in and lose the ball. Bentley will either take his man on, and go out wide, or will cross it early. He's got a decent eye for a pass aswell.

      5 mill? Definitely would take him.

      Not sure about this one, some nice touches but inconsistent (but that would suit our present manager).  I mean if he ain't good enough for spurs and is often referred to as being a bit of a n*b.  I'd like to see us aim our sights a little higher.

      Least he can cross
      Least he can whip his hair back and forth (joke)

      He isn't that good since he burst on the scene i believe.

      Said on here when Spurs bought him he would flop there as he is actually not that good a player, there was way to much hype around him. I tell you now he would flop here as well.

      In fairness Beckham moved with all the speed of a glacier, but was one of the best crossers around, which just shows that getting to the byline isn't a necessity.

      He takes a pretty good free kick and corner as well.

      £5 million, combined with a couple of slaps when he starts gazing into the mirror, and we might have a decent player at a pretty cheap price.
