Blackburn's Bentley wanted by Liverpool
tribalfooball.com - March 23, 2008

It is believed that Rafael Benitez is confident of making David Bentley a Liverpool player.

There has been reports that Liverpool are set to make a £12million bid for the 23-year-old winger, claims Kop-TV.

It is known that both Liverpool and Atletico Madrid are in a tug-of-war over the young English winger.

Liverpool are desperately looking for a winger to replace Harry Kewell whose contract is running out soon. Furthermore, Bentley is proven in the Premier league.

The England winger contracts run out in July 2011, which means Liverpool or Atletico may have to fork out a large sum to get their man.

Manchester City and Valencia are among a host of other clubs interested

And Berbatov is priced at £32 mio - any bid for bentley for only £12 mio would be disrespectful and shouldnt be dignified with an answer.

Obviously Bentley will be sold at some time, but it has to be for a hell of a lot more than what has been mentioned in the media - we should explore that prices are over inflated!

AND MH has proven that he will not sell key players even if they want to go - i. e Mcarthy and Roberts. This is the way to go - except when players "give up" like Benni.

we are going to get this speculation from now until Bents leaves, whether thats at the end of this season or end of next season.
£12M theyve got to be joking though.
i suppose though its whether he's got escape clauses in his present contract or a 'trigger'.
in my view every player has a price and if he was to go so long as we got the right money for him then all the best, but you never know hughsie's golden tongue might be enough to keep him here.

And rightly so, Berbatov is twice the player Bentley is.

Ooh look...

A dingle!

All wave at the dingle!

Don't mention local derby results though - they start crying!

Ah here we go again Benitez coming out again with his puffed out chest,confident he will get his man because it's Liverpool.

He did exactly the same with Bellamy 'no problem he supports Liverpool' & look what happened to him- a bit part player in the infamous rotation policy !!
Benitez wants to take a good long look at himself & realise just why he as never got close to winning the Prem. His total disdain towards the culture of English football sticks in my gullet.

If Bentley goes to Liverpool I put bets on it that it will be the biggest mistake of his footballing career.

As much as I have respect for Liverpool I truly believe the philoshopy of that club is wrong for todays Prem. Benitez is fast becoming a clown & who is no nearer to achieving the holy grail.For me the guy is pig ignorant.

As for 12mil,if Rovers go with that they want lynching. Bentley is worth twice as much. We need to keep hold of him.Summer willreveal that.

For those who say Berbatov is twice the player of Bentley your another deluded individual.
Show me the stats that prove thats the case?
Berbatov is over valued simply because Man Utd are interested & of course it's a London club so the value must be right!!
The Prem trophy will land again in the North West,in it's rightful place.
As they say footballs coming home to were it all began!!

I wouldn't worry about Bentley going to Liverpool chances are Benitez wont even be there next season. As for Roberts getting a run in the team at the min I can only see Hughes doing this so he can put him in the shop window for the summer. The more goals he scores from now till the end of the season the more money we will get for him in the summer

Chances are Mike you could be right on that?

My biggest concern for Bentley is that if he goes to Liverpool I dont see the football they play will compliment him.

I personally feel he needs a club that will bring him on,Liverpool & there brand of football will not do that.
Sundays game against Utd quite clearly highlighted just how far away they are with Benitez at the helm.

He just doesn't get English football!!

Look at what MH as achieved considering what he as spent in relation to Liverpool?
Get Benitez to a club where he as to earn his corn- with nothing!!

Bentley must stay at BRFC unless some-one of real class comes in for him.Then I would have no problems with him leaving so as he can ply is trade on the biggest stage(which they all say they want). Give MH a budget to match his ambition & he will take BRFC right to the battle front of honors.
Then there would be no need for Bentley to go anywhere & he would even be complimented with further class.
Like Ossy states 'Hughes & his silver tongue' could just be the key to keeping him here...

Do we want Bentley to stay?
Then I suggest we get down to Ewood Park & sing until our lungs burst with the echo of 'BENTLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEY IS OUR GOD'!!

well at £32 million for Berbatov that makes Bents minimum £16 million so its not 'rightly so'

nice woody as usual i agree entirely, it seems apt that this time of year we are talking about GOD. if bents and santa are GOD then who else on the current staff is the third piece of the holy trilogy?
its got to be hughsie as GOD the father, bents as GOD the son, and santa as the holy spirit.
with those three in the harness we can only believe.
to all you true rovers fans out there get your backsides down to the cathedral of football and pay homage to the great and the good.
and most of all
KEEP THE FAITH

They are not gods, they're just human beings like you and me, stop kissin their arses every weekend just because they play well, its only a job to them.

not kissin thier a*ses bud, just the ground they walk on.
KEEP THE FAITH

Santa better not get complacent over the goal tally in his first EPL season. Just look at his fellow striker, Mccarthy. Wonderful first season with a mouth-watering goal tally and then we all knew what happened.

I agree with all the points previously. I do think Berbatov is a better player than Bents but I think £16m is a fair price for a top player like him.

It's testament to MH that we can make posts claiming that a £12m bid for a player we paid £1m for is too low.

I think he will go in the summer and to Liverpool, but were not getting the Bellamy treatment this time. We should make them pay for that!!! £4m over the odds should do it.

If Berbatov is worth £32m then I assume you must mean Marcu Bent is worth £16m? Because if Berbatov is a Rolls then our Bentley is of the same class with a far superior attitude and work rate and no sulks - £35m min - but Ossy you have me worried about that escape clause!!

Morst and Ossy - an escape clause is a terrible thing to bring up. I was under the impression that MH and the rest of the gang had learnt from their mistakes! :-)

And if not - had showed a bit more forthsight than putting the buy out fee at only £12 mio. I really cant stand to go through this again! Come back Bellamy )-;

What have we learned in Blackburn in recent years: NO BUY-OUT clauses please :-)

That said - I wouldnt be surprised if there was one - as a compensation for his "poor" salary.

sorry lars just being realistic, ive no idea if bents has one or not, and ide hope the club had learnt thier lesson with barry ferguson and bellemy, but thats why these guys have agents to do this type of thing for them.
ive still got faith in the old silver tongue though.

ps hows the weather over there in Denmark?

Yeah I know :-) One should think that I had accepted the whole Bellamy affair by now. It just all came back to me - terrible :-) So lets hope Bentley havent go one.

Its quite cold and snowy in Denmark - as always in the winter :-)

FYI - i thought you were from Australia (Ossy) before i read the heatened discussion regarding your whereabouts :-)

Cheers

Santa! Woop! He is absolutely awesome! Hope he stays for years! Hope he keeps in top form! go for breaking that 20 goal barrier! Yay!

Bloody hell Ossy dont be thinking about 'clause' in the contract!!

Tell him Morst!!

Here's another one for you reagarding Bentley..

Have the 'Gooners' got a sell on % ?

I am glad that MH has finally realised that Benni is a lazy so & so. Jason Roberts played his socks off on Saturday, that is what Roque needs to partner him up front, somebody who is strong and can hold up the ball. They look good together R&R, bit like S&S from years gone by. Please give Jase a chance boys.
And on the subject of Bents I don't think he will go anywhere for next few years unless the manager was to leave, I think he has lots of respect for MH, he brought him out of the dark from the Arsenal. Bellamy has done nothing since he left us, he was greedy, it serves him right.
C'mon you blues!!!!

Brilliant Chico, I think you're now ready to go it alone in the big wide world. Just remember the things I have taught you and you won't go far wrong.
Ring me anytime you get stuck.
Good luck and keep the faith.

If darren bent is worth £17m, SWP is worth £23m, and neither can get into the england squad, then bentley must be at least £25m

Hey Shilo, I'm not ringing you - you're a wierdo!!! - you keep sending me dodgy photos of yourself! And that tattoo you got of my face on your chest is just wrong! You'll be hearing from my solicitors about the restraining order!

I take my responsiblities to my fans very seriously, and try to respond to all of my fan mail in person (especially my superfans from Burnley where Chicomania is running WILD !)but you've taken it too far with your deviant behaviour! Have a word with yourself Shilo!

Take care though,

Santa Cruz is an awesome striker and he can get those 20 goals any day. He’s been great since he came to Rovers and let’s hope it all goes well for the rest of the season.
WISH YOU ALL THE LUCK SANTA!!
