Bent plays for Charlton Athletic. He scores 20 goals a season in the toughest league in the world, how is that NOT worth 16 mill? Transfer fee's are increasing every year because of the increase in funds coming to larger clubs... i think this is a great buy and i know for sure that Bent will offer the versatility we need up front in order to give our bigger stars (aka Berbs) a rest he deserves.

What about in the domestic cups? Berbatov should NOT have to be playing against championship sides and lower. Bent will offer the domestic rotation option that the top four employ yet still be proven enough at a high level to get the job done.

Good buy in my opinion and will take a hell of a lot of pressure off berbs.

Defoe will prob go now, so 3 strikers in to 2 positions over 60 games is 40 starts each. That's where he'll play for f**k sake!

Too much money though, thanks to west ham

2007-06-23T12:26:00.000+01:00

Can't see the point in buying him as we have defoe, and he is not an improvement, also he is only worth about half the quoted figure, and he will be 3rd inline. All we need is some up n coming championship proved striker to add to the bench warming party, not bent, and a merrygoround for mido & defoe.

2007-06-23T11:57:00.000+01:00

It's obvious. Defoe and Mido will leave - there combined transfer fee will almost cover the cost of Bent - and we will play next season with three main strikers in the squad. Both Berba and Bent can play up front on their own if needed and this will work particularly well on tough European away nights. This will also allow us to have a good creative attacking player in an advanced midfield position such as Taarabt. It will also give Peckhart and Barnard on oportunity. I also expect us to sign another young striker or creative/attacking midfield player as well as a left winger. Bent has a proven goalsoring record and is still young. He will be a great signing for the club and will fit well into our signing policy and playing system. Have faith in Jol et al, look how far we have come in two and a half seasons under their leadership.

2007-06-23T08:45:00.000+01:00

think about what would we have if berbs got injured (touch wood he doesnt) we have naff all but now we got bent we have back up and we can play berbs and keano up front with bent as a 3rd striker

2007-06-23T03:03:00.000+01:00

Bent is exactly what we need to get a balanced attack..he gives us options.

Neither Keano or Berbatov are particularly quick..Bent is.

Neither Keano or Berbatov are traditional battling centre forwards..Bent is.

We paid over the odds but we got the player we need.

I trust the board totally - 100%
They got a lot of stick for selling kanoute and buying the new rebrov. Now look, if they feel the time is right to sell berbs at the end of next seaon with bent as the long term replacement and youth coming through i will not argue - Top three and a final here we come - please stay defoe.

Bent will be a useful addition will give us a proven striker to provide different options whether or not Berbatov is goin(its possible over next season)we may need to play Defoe and Bent as an optional pair

Let me explain something to all you negative Spurs fans......
It does not matter how much we pay for bent. He is a proven PL scorer in a shit team, most of the time up front on his own. if anyone who knows about footbal could see, he works his fucking socks off ( positive number one). He declines the spammers offer of 1st team football and 75k a week ( positive number 2). Then he says he wants to come to us....knowing he is facing spells on the bench cuz of the strikers we already got, so obviously, that dont faze him and he won't be a whinger ( positive number 3). If this guy has got all these qualities, surley 16- 17 mill aint to bad a deal? Anyway, so far Levy, Comilli & BMJ know what they are doing....so far so good as far as i'm concerned. We Will finish Top 4 for sure this coming season, this is the time to step up another level....so trust in all concerned, get behind the team and some of you will be on this site next year talking about buying world class players for the CL. ( I have already got 50 quid each way at 66/1 spurs to win PL....ok maybe they wont win it, but 3rd place is a REAL possibility) COYS

Bent drifts out on to the left hand side when he plays maybe we will use him like the Scummers did with Wiltord on the right and have him as a thrid striker/winger?

whats wrong with 4 strikers?
berbs and keano
defoe covering keano and bent covering all three with us put our selves about in all cup comps and even top 4 spot we will need 4 top quality strikers to do so! i dont have a problem with benty, as long aqs we get a left winger!!

2007-06-22T18:29:00.000+01:00

You all seem to have missed something - Jol has said more than once that he wants two players for each position.

If fat lazy twat Mido goes (please) buying Bent may just be an alternative to Berbatov in Jol's preferred "big man/small man" strike partnership.

In spite of the doubts about the value of Bent he's pound for pound better than the £4m paid for Mido. Buying him doesn't mean Berba will go ( he might but I doubt it for next season) or that Defoe will go ( if he does he's unlikely to go outside of the top 4).

We know that Jol wants to compete ( as we all do) for all four competitions which means 55/60 games. Having a stronger squad than last season is no mystery - it might just mean that Levy & Co are serious about WINNING SOMETHING!!!

2007-06-22T18:28:00.000+01:00

Berbs is staying for sure!

Jol see's Bent as added pace up front, look at it this way last year away from home we struggled to get behind the defence's.
Bent will for sure will add pace.
16 millon bit over the odds, but still only 23!

2007-06-22T18:03:00.001+01:00

The majority of website readers have voted 'no' to Bent's 16-million pounds signing. But will that deter Martin Jol from signing the player? Not likely. Only by this time next year Jol will be struggling to offload Bent for a substantial financial loss.

£17million I don't think so, why waste it on Bent?...

2007-06-22T18:03:00.000+01:00

£17million I don't think so, why waste it on Bent? I would like to see a left midfielder sign for us and a centre back, not an average striker.

2007-06-22T17:58:00.000+01:00

Absolute ******* disagree if Bent is signed for 15 million +. How can the management team at Spurs think this is a good piece of business. He is a better player than Chris Armstrong, but it is still a similar type of signing. Why does the club do this kind of thing when you think they are finally moving in the right direction. It makes me so mad.

Calling Poshspur and the THBN team I want answers it seems you only respond when people give their name mine is Bernard, you said and I quote “The same source that reported the deal to THBN has informed us that Martin Jol will not be spending any more money in the transfer market until the last two weeks of the transfer window (approximately 15th August 2007 - 31st August 2007)” the deal being Kaboul so was this just what I imagine, a purely speculative article just to get hits. Does this blog have any credibility what so ever?

Are you going to respond or hide
