Laurie Sheffield 0 Posted May 6, 2004 Well respected website www.football365.com has the Arsenal starlet linked with a season long loan with the Canaries. Wenger is on record as saying he (Bentley) needs the regular first team action. Does 2 + 2 make 5 in this case? OTBC from sunny Skegness (not!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted May 6, 2004 To be honest I think the fact that when any manager says he''s sending a youngster out on loan we''ll be linked with him!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumpers for goalposts 0 Posted May 6, 2004 If we''re into poaching Arsenal players I''d much rather have Ray Parlour (and that includes Dennis Bergkamp who I''m afraid would never come here anyway). He still looked a class act against Portsmouth the other night and is much under-rated in my view. Bentley looks like a bit of a show pony and too lightweight - most reasonable players could look good in the current Arsenal team. I mean the guy had his own website while he was still in the youth squad for goodness sake, can''t imagine Worthy being too happy with that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonzey 0 Posted May 6, 2004 There''s been a few threads regarding Bentley, and the more I think about the possibility of him leaving Arsenal on a season long loan the more I feel this should be with a Div 1 side. Why should we blood another teams young players, we''re one of the top boys now and it isn''t necessary anymore for us to risk this. The type of season long loan I''d like to see is a more experienced player like Forrsell.Bentley can go to a smaller club like Ipswich, Wolves or West Ham;] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FatMan Fat 0 Posted May 6, 2004 Wenger wont loan Bentley to a Div 1 club...if he was going to do that he would have already done it. IMHO Bentley would be a good loan signing...age has nothing to do with ability...if he is good enough, he is old enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
