He is a very talented player but has never really adjusted to the idea that he might have to actually work at it. Players like him are ten-a-penny in terms of talent, but it is the ones who can add a work ethic to their games that make it at the top, His biggest problem is that "luxury" players no longer really exist at the top level. He couldn't go and be what he was at blackburn now because those teams all rely on grafters to stay up.
VDV has ten times his talent and works his socks off every minute of every game. He should have learned from his example!
The sad thing is they are not!
If you look at most of the english players in the premiership and compare their natural ability with david bentley's there are very few that come close to him. That is what I have found so frustrating about his time at Spurs, ability in abundance but savethe odd moment no return for us!
