A striker, please. And a CB. And some hope. (Transfer Thread)

I think having a former SAS trooper in midfield would be pretty cool.

 

Bent issues Tottenham ultimatum

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/feb/13/darren-bent-tottenham-hotspur-premier-league

He will have to give 200% and improve his overall game if he is going to overtake Defoe, Keane and Pavy.

 

For me I feel its good and bad for us. Bent has tremendous athletic ability and when in the box and he has the ball in shooting position he is usually going to score. The bad is his mouth and it seems his attitude. He doesn't ever stop going to the papers. Personally I like him and think he has been decent this year. 2 goals in 1 min is good for me. Still if we can get a big target man to fill his shoes....(Pavel Progrebnyak) then I would be very happy. Pavel would be someone would accept that 4th striker role for a couple years but hopefully by then he will be a big part of the first team. Also he is good friends with Pav so I mean that is a plus.

 

For the rest of the season he'll be a sub with Keane+Pav the default front line. Personally I can't blame him for saying this, given how the manager has belittled him in public. He'll do allright at a mid-table club (step up from us, then ) that has fewer strikers on hand. You could see him at Fulham, perhaps, or Portsmouth. Everton are short but that is aiming a bit high for him. Still if Saha is good enough for them I would think Bent is.

But 2 years ago, he was doing great at Charlton and we all thought he was an upgrade on Defoe. Overpriced, but still an upgrade. Now we got Defoe back as an overpriced upgrade on Bent...

 

Well said.

We overpaid for him at a time when we didn't need him, and have never had a team that he fit into very neatly. But that's mostly not his fault. He's deserved far better treatment than he's gotten.

 

Quite simply, Bent is a good player whose style just doesn't suit our current get-up. His game is all about making intelligent runs, getting behind the last defender and springing the offside trap. For this to work, he needs good delivery from deep in midfield. The only player who could provide that (imo) is Hudds, who is not getting the minutes either.

Without Huddlestone, Bent gets no service. Maybe Modric might be able to play this role, but often he's too far forward to really pick out the pass that Benty needs. Service from the wings means nothing to Bent, as he's not really a target forward, nor is he that great in the air. And pairing him with another forward doesn't seem to work either, since he's doesn't have an understanding with anyone.

Now that we have Palacios (who can cover a lot of ground in the middle of the park), Harry may well give Bent and Hudds a shot together. But really what they need are a run of games, which he's unlikely to get. Shame to see someone not get a proper shot, but Bent will definitely be sold this summer.

 

Even when he was on the bench he would be bumping those gums. Seriously he talks a lot and to say play me or Im off is stupid. I think he has done well and Harry really must not want him on the pitch but he has to understand that he should keep it quiet when were trying to get out of relegation trouble.

 

Does that apply only to darren bent or everyone?

What about lennon, jenas, or bentley? They've opened there mouths every time tottenham pick up a point or 3, yet they fail to grasp that there team is still in the relegation Hunt, and thus all talk of champions league, top4 finish is 100% OUT OF LINE.

Bent is your leading goalscorer.

 

and you are the leading prat on this board.

is this guy gonna get banned or what? this is not vietnam, there are rules here (right?).

 

Dude, whats Your Problem?

This is BIGSOCCER...............Not Bigtottenham.

 

Give him a chance...he is converting to a Spurs fan cause Arsenal is getting boooorrrring...

 

and this is the tottenham hotspur section, not the retread arsenal twat fans section

 

Get out of here. Nobody cares about your thoughts for the last time. Go and get a job sir... A JOB!

 

Taiwo would be a big upgrade on Ekotto, physically strong and good going forward.

 

I don't need anyones approval on this site to post. I can do that where ever i feel like it.

Some of you need to put your club loyalties aside, and grow up. we aren't 9yr olds here, trying to insuanate that im "vietanamese" as if that we're some sort of an insult is telling about your group here.

Most club forums here get along, even with there rivals, but not you guys. This is an internet forum.

 

here's the thing, you come over here to talk shite and then get all bent when people react poorly to it. if you want to have a productive conversation im sure no one will react negatively, but that is not what you are doing. if you want to talk shite, go to the england rivalries forum and not the spurs board.

p.s. the comment about vietnam is from The Big Lebowski and has nothing to do with race, but is a reference to the Vietnam War

 

why stick around and troll/post where you arent wanted? what kind of a loser are you? then you get even more upset when people dislike you for that kind of idiocy. there are other arse fans and other team fans that come in here, and they get along fine, because they arent huge ********twats like yourself.

 

Even if i we're to come in here and say that "tottenham are the besT" I'm sure they'd still flip out. my posts aren't negative or racist or expletive filled.


The problems start when they see "supporter:arsenal"

But ok, Warning taken.

 

No, they're just devoid of any sense, purpose or value.

No one likes you, no one cares what you have to say, no one appreciates your point of view, and you know this full well. Hence, the only reason you post here is to piss people off, which is something you should be banned for doing -- no matter what type of language you use.

The very fact that you've hijacked multiple threads with your nonsense should be grounds enough. Now, go away.

 

You know full well that you have been trolling, and a similar approach to posting in the Arsenal forum from someone on here would trigger a hostile reaction from the natives, and has done in the past.

Bad enough that you troll, now you whine when you get called on it. Good grief.

 

Can we get back on topic and just ignore the troll. The more we aknowledge his douchebaggary the more we will have to deal with it.
