Who cares what he says, he does the business on the park and you cant dispute his quality. I’d take him at the pool in a heartbeat.

Well, Scousers, you believe what you like about David Bentley.

In later news: some Scouse no-mark makes the case for Dirk Kuyt’s inclusion in the FA team of the year.

Im not making him out to be a superstar I know Ronaldo was younger but i am simply saying Babel is at the level you would expect a world class winger to be at his first season with a new club

okay…bentley does have an inflated head but lets face it man, the kid is good… and he plays really well…hes been the player of the season at blackburn and has shown that he can strike a ball beautifully and doesnt mind taking a defender on. Hes definately among the better wingers in england and the fact that he started his career as a striker shows his versatility. If he wants to stay in England, then Liverpool,tottenham or everton are the places for him.I think hes good enough to suceed at the highest level if you ask me..and well yeah real madrid maybe an okay place for him but it’ll be difficult for him to be on the first time, with arjen robben among the competition. Maybe he can look at a club like valencia or someplace. I think liverpool is the best place for him…and I’m sure he’ll be pretty succesfull there..more so than then the kewells..

Liverpool fan…. that is an absolutely preposterous statement about Babel’s first season vs. Ronaldo’s.

First off… Babel’s first season came when he was already past the age of 20, Ronaldo’s in his teens.

Second off… Babel’s had absolutely no impact this year. Ronaldo was inserted as a replacement for Beckham, and performed admirably, despite being only a teenager.

Babel will be a phenomenal player as he develops, but don’t rewrite history to make him one now.

On subject i do rate David Bentley and i do think Liverpool will get him although i dont like his reason for wanting to leave. He wants to improve his chances with England? is that a fucking joke? If Torres had of said I want to move to Liverpool to improve my chances with spain then id said fuck him.
As i said i do rate him but not good enough for Liverpool. Although i do think we will buy him.
Liverpool should be trying to buy Riberys and Robinhos not Bentleys!!

Rob its funny you have compared Babel to Zenden Kewell and Aurelio. When Babel has already had a better season than Mr Ronaldo’s first season or Drogbas. Babel has killer penitration and in a few years when his delivery and fittness improve i hope you remember what you said

As a United fan, I think Bentley could perhaps make it to the United bench in case we sell Ji Sung Park, or if he is injured for a very long time. Otherwise he will only be 3rd choice winger, and will have to prove himself good enough to be on the bench in each game through sheer struggling.

Liverpool may take him, which seems more likely than United snapping him up since they are playing a striker cum right winger named Kuyt at right wing and Pennant isnt exactly the most consistent player in the world is he?
