Tottenham’s Bent offered escape route out of nightmare

Where do people get ther information?

it is widely reported about Daniel Levy’s Wage Cap

According to those pages that Josh Scott above linked to Bent is on 94k a week

DREAM ON – Ledley, Berby and Keano are the highest paid players at Spurs very close to the Capping on wages at 45k a week

if you are going to print links then dont just copy the info, read it first to save REAL Spurs fans the hassle of seeing just more rubbish in the tabloids.

If you want to post information, please do so with the intentions of providing GOOD information to fans, not just to get people here from NewsNow to increase your hit rate.

Otherwise you end up in the same bracket as most of the journo’s out there – “a guess monger”

for christ sake…….and this is to everyone who thinks we paid 16.5 mill for bent……WE PAID 12 UP FRONT!!! WITH THRE REST BASED ON APPPEARNCES AND PERFORMANCE WHICH HE HASNT FULFILLED YET. not 16

Although i appreciate all comments and feedback on my articles, some of these seem a little overly aggresive so…

he transfer for Darren Bent not only broke Tottenham’s transfer record, but the wages he was given reportedly made him the 19th highest paid player in the world based on weekly wages alone (see http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2008/04/02/ufnpaylist102.xml and http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/article.html?in_article_id=107896&in_page_id=43&expand=true)

I admit Bent has not been shocking at White Hart Lane, but for a player that earns more than anyone else a tthe club (according to the statistics above) and broke the transfer record for the club, i am sure that he was brought to play first-team football and not to sit on the bench. Yes i stated in the article he earnt £30,000-a-week, but again that was the statistic from the Daily Mail, this statistic is from other sources and either one may be right.

The rumour has appeared in top newspapers around the UK and the Internet (look it up). Therefore the article cannot be damaging to anyone, as most rumours may never prove to be true, they are rumours not facts! But as it appeared in many National newspapers and online websites, i felt it worthy to appear on soccernews.

Bent did reject West Ham for Tottenham because they are a better club, but i am sure he still did not doubt his ability to gain a starting place in the team. No striker would move to sit on the bench, and Bent has admitted that although he loves playing for the club, his limited chances to start have frustrated him and his chances to play for England.

In my personal opinion, and not that of Soccer News, i expected Bent to break through into the first team. I watched Bent play week-in week-out at Portman Road and have followed his progress keenly since his move from Ipswich to Charlton and then onto Tottenham. Bent was prolific at Ipswich and i always expected him to wow the Tottenham fans and do well, and the fact of the matter is that he has not lived up to many peoples expectations.

Bent moved for £16.5 million last summer, worth more than Thierry Henry, so i believe many expected Bent to make his mark this season and he has not.

Yep, agree with all the other comments…. the only possible way his season has been a ‘nightmare’ has been the injuries and illness he’s had at crucial times of the season.
As a Spurs fan I’d be GUTTED if he left now… and I’m sick and tired of websites and the media in general labelling people a failure when they’ve not even had a proper chance to prove themselves.
It’s paper talk and hype that got Defoe his move to Portsmouth – and at the time, the FACTS were that he had actually played in over half of Spurs’ matches, and around half of those were starts. The WHOLE media constantly reported Defoe as a super sub, and revelled in the possibility of him moving somewhere else to get ‘regular’ football.
The fact of the matter is, at the time he was very inconsistent – and no-one, regardless of their ability has a god given right to be selected from the start if they are simply not playing well. Defoe is now turning it on for Portsmouth and England, and long may it continue – but it is important that Bent gets his opportunity as a reward for simply playing V.WELL when he got a run in the team, and being patient when injuries and lack of form were affecting him.

glen you just about wrap up my views here also! simple as that!

Bent is a top class goalscorer and has proved it – but had injuries and Defoe to compete with! Funny how once Defoe was sold Bent started to get into some form and confidence – he was working hard as well as making and scoring goals for fun towards the end of the season.
You can’t give a £16m player just one season – especially with the slightly complacent Berbatov’s future uncertain. To sell now would be a waste, and utter madness to me.
He may start on the Bench, but if he breaks in this season… and shows his end of season form again – he will put amazing pressure on Keane and Berbatov and to be honest is more of a natural goalscorer than either of them (ie 20+ per full season).

Im sorry but this title actually offends me. It’s simply pure stupidity. Bent chose Tottenham over west ham (where he would have started many games) because he wanted to be with a better team. He knew he was going to be behind in the pecking order when he signed for spurs. Now when you say nightmare in the title it implies that something dreadful and unexpected happened. This is not the case and by this title you are damaging the reputation of this site, general football knowledge in the US, and by far most importantly my club.

how is bents move to tottenham a nightmare? did you expect bent to regularly start ahead of the best strike partnership in england? im sick of bent being labelled as a flop or having a nightmare season. I could have told you roughly how many games bent would play before the begining of the season. Anyone who EXPECTED something else in terms of goals, playing time etc just simply doesnt know football. Im looking at you “soccer” news.
