David Bentley Signs (from Rumour to Transfer)

[DEFchenkOE]

At the moment this would be my strongest 11 and subs (without Berba):

------------Gomes---------

Hutton--Woodgate--King--Bale

--------Jenas----Modric-----

Lennon------Bentley-----Giovani

--------------Bent------------

Subs: Jansson, Gunter, Gilberto, Zokora, Dawson, Huddlestone, O'Hara

Obviously main problem is lack of another striker, don't think Pekhart is ready. The 3 attacking midfielders behind Bent will more or less have 3 roles and all be interchangeable. Would love to get the Butt Shaver also but would be happy with just another striker. Don't really think Veloso is needed for the price we'd have to pay.

Dammit, if I hadn't been at the Orient game I coulda been the first to break this!

According to my contact the deal was done at grovenor hotel and he will wear the NO. 5!!! (bloomin' weird number if you ask me???).

Time will tell if this is right but you heard it here first... :wink:

Lee Sharpe wore no.5 as a winger.

Look at the quotes at the bottom. Annoying scum.

5 .. that is weird. that interview with him is jokes

 

[gilpinsgurgler]

lol love the quote about it being a Wenger masterstroke....
Yes he saw us buying Bentley several years before we did, and laughs rubbing his hands like Bill Sykes.
Gooner fans...you gotta love 'em for how they are.

OK, welcome, but we are tricked in this deal, and we clearly pay overprice, and are giving Arse money aswell.

We could have done a better deal, but if he delivers the goods, and make us a top 4 team, then welcome.

Budweiser?
GET OUT!

Seriously though, terrible beer.

Great signing. Should definitely be an asset to our side.

Tricked? Of course it is a trick, I wouldn't be suprised if instead of Bentley turning up to sign the contract it will be Robbie Savage.

Just because Wenger doesn't like the way the English boys don't want to touch him, doesn't mean he's a reject. But then Arsenal fans are a bit thick really. As well as a bunch of horse clunges.

 

[Jack2]

Welcome! Good signing!! :clap: (overpriced though...)

Are they aware that Wenger actually wanted to hold on to him? He handed in a transfer request.

I saw this picture on the Spurs website, an first thing which struck me was that there is a very simmiler picture of Gazza in Italia90, anyone know what I am talking about or am I imagining things?

I think I know which one you mean, but on searching for "Gascoigne" in both Yahoo and Google, I mostly just got pictures of Bianca Gascoigne's clunge.

Funny, I got the same when searching, not half bad tho

 

[worcestersauce]

Arsenal knew how good Bentley was that's why they didn't want hm to go in the first place but he made it clear he wanted out so they tried to get as much for him as they could, That is why they put in the sell on clause.
Clever business move but it does emphasize that Bentley rejected arsenal not the other way around, perhaps we should call the arseanal fans Bentley rejects.

 

[Gedi]

Anyone know what time the press conference is at? And if it will be televised anywhere? Don't have SkySportsNews just the Setanta equivalent. :| Maybe it can be viewed online?

Unlikely i know.
