After last season Bent's performance Tottenham fans booed him. Why? well in the last season he was injured but still able to score 8 goals in 15 starts. And he just couldnt break the partnership of Keane and Berbatov.
Even many Tottenham fans chanted him as the Comedy figure.
So, now the partnership of Keane and Berbatov was eventually broken. Its the chance for Bent to showcase his imment talent and a touch of goal scoring. He scored two hattricks in the last 3 friendlies. The question is will be the right partner for Berbatov.
Bent is never, ever going to work in a 4-4-2, he has never scored goals in that formation. Ipswich and Charlton both had 4-5-1’s built around him which is why he did so well there. That is why I thought it was a terrible signing last season, as I thought hell would freeze over before spurs played 4-5-1!
Yes, now Ramos has to switch the 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 or even 4-1-4-1 formation.
Bent deserves to play for any team. Bent has scored goals where ever and when ever he has played regularly. I’m sure he will grab the bull by the horns once he gets the chance. One of the egos has gone and the other will follow shortly. Ramos would have found it hard to leave either of them out of the starting line up last season but I’m sure he realises Bent’s potential and will give him every chance this season. I’m looking forward to it.
I think if Bent starts 30+ games next season then he would get around 15-20 goals and maybe even more. After scoring couple of hattricks in the last 3 friendlies, Benty now deserves his chance to prove all the critics wrong. The style of play and the creative talent behind Benty = 25 plus Benty specials in the Premiership this season.
Moreoverly, Bent will get full support from his team mates in Bentley and Lennon will provide them neat crosses from wings, upcoming Arshavin and Modric will be behind him with one touch passes and long ranging shots and Hutton and Bale will come down from flanks to provide the crosses. Bent is a class in the air.
Bent is the ultimate professional since he signed for us. He hasn’t whinged about not starting, has tried his best when he has come on and has started pre season very well. Still Tottenham fans says that they need better striker than Bent. Why? Just look into the goal scoring record for Charlton Athletic where he scored 31 goals in 68 matches for them.
Bent still has a lot to prove, but what Bent fans saying is, give him a chance! You can only beat the team given and he certainly has done that.
