Does it matter much? Probably not, but that, plus the fact that I think he's shite as well, probably adds more weight to me not wanting us to sign him.
I forgot to add that Bentley is a cock, and famously (rumour has it) told Wenger that he is better than Bergkamp in front of Bergkamp! I like players with attitude, but not shit players with attitude.

Quaresma and Ben Arfa have the talent to be a Ronaldo. Bentley doesn't.

This is Quaresma stats this season...

Ricardo Quaresma - 8 goals (5 league goals + 2 CL goals + 1 Cup goal), 9 assists.

Bentley's is probably better but you are saying Bentley is better on that alone? Ha Ha.

Bentley is a right midfielder. If we sign anyone for the right, and also continue with this formation, then we need someone better and also more offensive by nature.

Replacing Pennant with Bentley would be like selling Riise and buying Phil Neville.

Zenden did all that at Boro before we signed him. I'd give up on the league now mate if you get him. Utter waste of money.

More to the point, like replacing Pennant with Benayoun and Benayoun with Kuyt... utterly pointless and a waste of money. It's what we have been cursing all these months.

It doesn't matter how popular a player is in the dressing room, but only if their quality makes up for the fact.

bentley has more goals (9) and assists, again, in a tougher league playing with worse players, lest I remind you the last time queresma stepped up to a better league he failed utterly. oh, rashid what has happened to your boy joaquin? TOLD you he was wank.

Bentley is this years Zenden/Crouch/Kuyt/Pennant - and those that want him will be rounded on and humiliated in a years time.

How old was Quaresma at Barcelona? He was about 18 mate... he is an international with a national team that has more wingers than any other team.

Can Bentley do this? Would Quaresma be scared to take on Abidal?

Would Bentley EVER get compared to this guy?

YouTube - Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Ricardo Quaresma (2007-0

Joaquin even today is 10 times the player Bentley is mate, just watch him next time Valencia play. He just isn't in the news as much as he isn't available for transfer.

no one wanted zenden
no one wanted coruch (although I could see why rafa bought him)
pennant has never in his life been a goal threat
kuyt scored 12 league goals in his debut season

Perhaps if Bentley was Portuguese, plucked his eyebrows, waxed his chest & did about 20 step overs he would be welcome.
