Dan gets in to the England Team of 'future stars'.

Begs the question of how long are we able to keep him?

Let's hope the Mail do better than the last time they tried their hand at this, eh?

shows you how wrong they were - haven't we just turned one of these down (Hoyte) after a trial?

Good PR for our youth system but a bit worrying if there's no young English goalkeepers in the three leagues below us who are considered more of a prospect. They've probably just come across Brown's quote about him being good enough to play for England one day. Not sure about him being 6ft4 either!

Just turned 21, Bentley is yet to be recognised with any sort of international honour despite making more than 60 league appearances for Southend.

You've got to like their assumption that if they are good enough to play 60 times for the mighty Southend that they should have had international recognition by now.

Ha ha yeah loved that bit. "Despite 60 appearances for Southend."

Surprised at this, I'd have thought that there would be other young keepers in Premier reserve sides somewhere with a greater claim. If Dan's aspiration is to get to the top, this is a big season for him - he needs to cut the inconsistency out of his game and make strides towards the top 2 divisions. From our perspective this can only increase his value.

I agree with that , although you could argue that with the best record for 'goals conceded' in L2 last season , he is already quite consistent

Or perhaps the defence in front of him was!

Always going to be inconsistences for a goalkeeper of his age,remember people he is still learning,so be patient,even JOE HART is inconsistent and hes your England keeper.
