Useful player when on form. Hasn't been on form for a good while now but it just hasn't happened for him at Tottenham, he doesn't really get enough games but he's not as bad as some people are making out.

Should he join Liverpool he'll be a squad player until his form picks up, so the above squabble is pointless. David Bentley is most certainly good enough to be a squad player at a club aiming for the CL.

They have enough players good enough for a squad aiming for the C/L. Its the starting XI where improvements are needed.

Spot on Goonie, I'm sick and tired of us splashing £20m on four players hoping that one of them will reach the next level.

Yeah that's true but for £5m they'll get another option out wide where Liverpool really need improvemnts or anything really, and they ain't gonna sign any real quality in January anyways. His delivery can be smashing and from set-pieces he's also pretty dangerous. He would be a sensible enough signing for Liverpool, c'mon it's £5m ffs.

I would take him IF

jova and maxi are shipped out to cover it. He is decent but I dont think he can handle being a squad player tbh

Don't even know why Jovanovic is used on the wings.

Calling it an "oh dear" signing is absolutely ridiculous. Even off form he'd still be the best wide player they've had for years and at 5Million you can't complain. Ever thought that the reason he is off form is because he isn't playing enough to be on form? If it were to happen and he gets regular first team football I guarantee he will flourish.

Whats ridiculous is giving players like Clichy stick and then sticking up for Bentley when he has been shit for just as long. Do you think Clichy would be a good signing for Real Madrid? He would on his 07/08 form but its not 07/08 so it is indeed an oh dear signing and its ridiculous to think its anything other than that. Bentley when he first arrived had a run in the team and was poor. Whats the excuse for that?

Clichy & Madrid is a different scenario because they already have a better LB. So it would be a pointless signing. Whereas like I said, even Bentley off form would be Liverpools best wide player. Bentley isn't the first player to arrive at a team and be poor, It happens in football.

Clichy 07/08 is better than Marcelo and the Bentley we have seen recently is not better than Kuyt. So I don't see how the scenario is different. Joe Cole has been poor this season but i'd be shocked if Bentley was much better than him.

Clichy has been playing regularly at Arsenal for the last 2 seasons and hasn't convinced much at all. Bentley on the other hand isn't getting all that many games so his chances of a revival, given a decent stint in the team, are higher than Clichy's para mi.

No. Bentley has had a run in the Spurs and was shit. So he did have a chance to get form.
