Bentley's Future

[DonWaccoe]

According to Massimo Cellino( Leeds owner), a deal has been done. He scouted him the other week. Told a fan outside Elland Road today.

Ron's Bentley?

Bit of a strange move for him if true. He seems to be very well settled here, living in his hometown with all of his family, girlfriend etc. around him so didn't think he'd be too keen on moving that far oop north. Knew he would go eventually but thought he'd try and stay more local.

Although I suppose if Leeds can offer him a very decent pay packet, football at one level below the Premiership and a first team spot then it's a good move.

But still... :'(

Great timing if true:angry:

Only post from this user, and the source is just an anonymous fan claiming he spoke to the owner. Until I see something more concrete I'm assuming this isn't true.

 

[Mark Stevart]

I don't think so considering paul robinson is on his way back to leeds from Blackburn

 

[amsemp]

Great timing if true:angry:

Not out of character though. Massimo Cellino's always been a monumental knob.

 

[Mark Stevart]

paul robinson is going back to leeds that's true I doubt Bentley would go to a bottom half championship team at best

 

[Jam_Man]

Leeds are a big club, whether its true or not that would be a good move.

 

[Mark Stevart]

its not true though

 

[DonWaccoe]

its not true though

If you type Cellino Southend in a Twitter search, there is plenty of speculation, including a photo of him scouting at a match.

I think there is mileage in this rumour.

Great move for Dan as long as he is playing of course......a juicy contract too.

Bentley's immediate future involves extra kicking practice when it's raining.

 

[Mark Stevart]

Bentley aint going to leeds as there signing paul robinson from Blackburn if he goes anywhere be a bigger club then leeds

Bentley's immediate future involves extra kicking practice when it's raining.

To be fair his kicking was poor but he was confident as hell with balls in given the difficult conditions.

You are probably right...but Bentley must be sold this summer, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't he entering the last year of his contract

If we go up I reckon we'll persuade him to sign another year or two with the understanding if a prem club come in with a seriously big offer we let him go. Better for him to be first choice with us a league up and see where it goes from there than gamble now and chance ending up on a bench for 3 seasons.

I heard he will join Bristol City

There were rumours but I feel he would use pretty much all available budget they have and given they already have a decent keeper they probably want to reinforce elsewhere for preference.
