Spurs will make the CL this season and show Liverpool that they have to step it up and not settle for 4th for the 15th time in a row. Bentley is a good player, maybe not the best attitude but still England's 2nd choice right mid. Add that to Arshavin, Dos Santos and Modric, and you have one of the best midfield four in the Prem.

I'll say it again - if Spurs played Arshavin, Dos Santos, Modric, Bently arcross the midfield they would get murdered.

Just a shame they have a dog shit defence. And when did Arshavin sign? |

Eh? Murdered? Sure, its all attacking, but aren't goals the whole point of football?
And Arshavin hasn't signed, but he is expected to.

I don't know, I heard a few days ago he was expected to sign, but things change every day with transfers so you never know what's going to happen.

theres no balance or physicality to those 4 at all. Putting 4 excellent but lightweight players together would be easy on the eye, but otherwise total madness. Doe the words holding midfielder mean anything to you? |

Yes, they do. They mean good, solid player. Spurs need one. The midfield would look like this:
?(DM)
Dos Santos(LM)
Modric(CM)
Bentley(RM)
Arshavin(AM) (if he signs)

I largely agree with Lumps on the England issue. We've been over hyping a bunch of basically average (world class level) all rounders for a fair few years now. Granted we had a real barren spell under Taylor where it seemed little or no talent was coming through, but along with the over hyping of the Prem, the Sky generation simply lack any real flair and increasingly any good old fashioned guts. Ince is probably the last ball winner. There does seem to be some desire to bread identikit players right now.
Bentley is ok, but just because he can occasionaly look good on the ball he is hyped up beyond his real worth, and so £15m is way too much for a player who couldn't hold a candle to many foreign players supposedly of a similar ilk.

Dos Santos is more likely to play up front, judging by the pre-season games.

Bent is the one to watch this year for spurs.Probably the most natural british goalscorer since fowler just a shame he was in the middle of the berba/keane/defoe love in for most of last season.
If he plays a whole season he will get 20 goals simple
