Steve Bruce bids £1m for Bentley

[Jay_SUFC]

So why did Steve Bruce bid a million for him in the same Division? probably with a view to being their number 1 keeper.

What makes you think Bruce wants him to be No.1 and don't they have McGregor as No.1?

Given Southend's apparent cash-flow problems at present, maybe it makes sense to sell Dan Bentley now and reinvest at least part of the fee in acquiring the four players Phil Brown says he needs before the beginning of the League programme. A lot of people said Dan was not ready when Phil Brown gave him his chance in goal, and I am wondering whether Ted Smith is now approaching a comparable stage in his career.

Theres a big difference just physically between Bentley and Smith. If Dan moves Im sure we will sign another keeper.

But Ted isn't going to get any bigger. He has a different body type to Dan Bentley and that won't change. Regardless of that he is clearly rated highly by everyone at the club and if Bentley leaves I think he'll get his chance.

Nothing is definite in life. I asked Hull supporters on their message board what they thought and they reckoned No1 as McGregor was not very good last year.

difficult to tell, but i think people have forgotten just how much dan has filled out since he first played.

When did Dan make his league debut for us?

Bentley not in the squad today. Farewell Dan!

22 October 2011 as a substitute against Torquay at home in a 4-1 win. Same season as that picture.

Brown told Chris Phillips that he would play today as well... Fingers crossed there is an explanation behind it.

 

[bazzashrimper]

Brown told Chris Phillips this days ago. Ted plays today and Dan is playing vs Charlton.

He said Ted to play vs canvey and Dan vs daggers

What a long way he has come since then.

Looked incredibly shaky and nervous throughout his time on the pitch (Completely understandable from a youngster on debut) to the calm, confident and dominate goalkeeper we have now.

The plot thickens!

Just tried to find the tweet and now corrected.

[Sufc.2008]

Apparently Bentley looked jaded in training... Those two games must have been tough for him! Don't buy this at all. Expect him to sign for someone on Monday.

 

[manor15]

Hmm, don't see this as Dan causing problems but if he's close to a move then Brown could have come up with a better excuse, let's hope that this is the truth.

Anyway, good test for Ted today.

Going to forest

 

[bess30]

If he goes no excuse not to BUY 1 or 2 strikers plus a good keeper

Err wages may come in to the equation though

Forest have just signed Ben Hamer
