UPDATE: Rovers seal Bentley return

By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
BLACKBURN Rovers have secured the return of former midfielder David Bentley.
The Spurs midfielder has put pen to paper on a loan move to Ewood Park until the end of the season.
Bentley established himself as a fans favourite at Rovers when he played for the club between 2006-2008.

Appy Anorak time……Arsenal squad value 250m (4th most valuable in UK) v Blackburn rovers squad value 47.5m (24rd most valuable in UK)……..0-1……
..will be putting a few pennies on @8=1
Looks like Wilshere and Vermaelen -carrying knocks won't be risked because of CL next week....Wenger is gong to use this game to utilise his squad.....Come on Appy play the best 11 we can win this one...the posers dont want to miss the big CL game

2 chuffing years of dirge as covered OUR club and still the good folk cannot, or dare not stick their necks out for this signing.
Well, come May if the guy as totally facked it up then I'll be here for you to stick your knives in me for my enthusiasm followed by the possibilities that he can bring to OUR team. I'm backing Mr.Appleton on this 100%.
His fitness is the only issue, but that will be taken care of now WE have a Sports Scientist back down at the club, and remember this - CLASS IS PERMANENT ! Bentley knows how to play (a) football.
No fear !
Who's going to down the Dingles ?
Excited ? Chuff me I might even break into a chuffing smile today !

Who appointed Kean? Who sent Shebby here? Who got rid of JW and TF and Uncle Tom Cobley and all and some of our most experienced players? Who got us relegated? And who brought a load of horse manure into the club? Only Venkys.
That is why we said Venkys Out for two years or more.
Maybe things are changing now, it is looking better than it has done for a long long time now under Appleton. It does seem that Venkys are backing his decisions. But its too soon to tell for sure if this will continue yet.
Once the majority of Rovers fans can see genuine and positive moves and good decisions being made which are in the best interest of taking the club forwards from the Venkys - then there will probably be no more Venkys Out calls. Though there is still a lot of hurt out there...
Ask the same question in a years time mate and see what the answer is then...we all may be surprised!

Have a good day at Arsenal, couple of early challenges should see them lose the will.
You have added the depth needed to come from the pack to make the play offs and if you don't surely it can only be seen as failure?

Words a dingle will only get to say if he switches his allegiance to a real club with real heritage and real ambitions as the mighty Rovers.
of course we won't hold it against you for hanging around trying to be part of it while your own gets as much attention as a Bricklayer in a transfer window.

Throwing money at the problem won't solve all the problems on and off the field. There's a whole new lineup of players entering the squad who, though adding pace and oomph to the proveedings. will need to gel and play as a team which surely isn't going to happen overnight?

On his day Dunny was exceptional, sadly his days have just been too few and too far between.
If he's fit he's a great option to bring off the bench to make something happen, and we even saw a great 30 minutes from him earlier this season, but he's fragile,and there's not much room for sentiment if we are going to fight our way back to the prem.

Is that coincidence?
Bents will contribute more positives than RR, genuine assists and a few for himself
Do you know anything about football, or are you just trolling?
Welcome back David, excellent signing and it looks like you Naysayers have your answer to the will Venkys back MA questions

I think Mark did a good job of getting the best out of him , I hope a bit of time we can get him somewhere near he used to be when he pulled on the blue and white half of Rovers.
One of the things that crossed my mind on hearing this news was how DB went on the list of those who left Rovers for brighter lights big city.....
And failed.......Lets hope he grabs this chance with both hands ..

No conspiracy, just Dunny and his bad back which knackers his hamstrings
Simple, he will never regain his fitness, I know as I have the same problem but I am well past playing.

Venkys must be serious about promotion to PL.
Sack Shebby Singh and Hendry and bring back Alan Shearer back to Ewood Park as PR man at the club.We need fans back too,only 14,000 turning up at Ewood Park so the 10,000 fans are staying away until they get the toys they want.How about Bollywood Dancers and drums to liven the place up .
The theatre of dreams Ewood Park is half empty because some plastic fans have dissapeared .

Birmingham Mail's opinion on his loan there "flattered to deceive."
Loan spell at West Ham ended in injury.
Loan spell at FC Rostov ended in injury.
I'll be happy for him to prove me wrong, of course, but I'm not too excited by this. We're not getting the Bentley who scored a hattrick. Rekik, on the other hand, I am very excited about.
Rochina > Bentley any day of the week.
