One mis-hit when on as sub, and he's another Schevchunko?
Not really, Spinster. He's probably an overpriced player, but he's still a goal-getter.

Jol signing him instead of a couple of extra decent defenders will cost him his job.

Overpriced, probably, did Spurs need him, not really, is he crap, no, of course he's not.

Given that in both he's had about 45 minutes of game time that is hardly fair. Was a bad miss on Saturday but those are the kind of chances that have been routine for him over the last two years (well more really but two years in the Premiership).

BensGrandad has a point though - regardless of Bent's striking prowess, they could do with less clowns in defence. There was one move (where Adibayor actually missed a sitter himself) where THREE defenders rushed to mark Robinson - leaving Adibayor total unmarked space, and freedom to have a go!
Robinson was beaten by a long shot from the middle in a very recent league game, and in the England v Germany friendly. So, the defence should also have closed the gap before Fabergas prodded that past him.
Spurs are apparently very easy to score against, and will also be profligate in attack - hence their record so far this season, and their lowly league position.

It was tongue in cheek (a quote from Roger Mellie out of Viz which I found amusing at the time)
Maybe I should have told him that I've f***ed his mum instead? Or wished cancer on his family. There's always next time I guess.
Chimbonda Dawson King Bale should be decent defence with Huddlestone in front. Shame for Spurs that King is clearly taking medical advice from Darren Anderton's doctor and Bale is needed on the left side of midfield. And the other problem that Jol won't play Huddlestone every week.

Correct NMH. Of course it's true that Bent isn't really as crap as I first suggested, but his market value was surely nowhere near the 16mill that Spurs forked out. They could have had 2 or 3 high class defenders for that price.

Bent is frigging useless. There was no need to buy him at all. Defoe is a lot better and his current treatment is poor. He should have gone to Villa or Man City. Taking off both Bale and Malbranque (the only 2 creative players) whilst putting Lennon on the left was moronic. Tottenham are a mess. Jol has done well to get Tottenham into Europe but it is time for someone new. I hate to say it but Arsenal's third goal was awesome.

As a closet Spurs supporter I believe that Martin Jol has made 2 expensive bad buys that he didnt need and has not improved the side Bent and Malbranque. I would have spent the money on Curtis Davis and Matt Taylor. The situation with Ledley King has been on the cards for some time because they have bought a number of central defenders going back to Calem Davenport and not solved the problem.

You call me a c*** because I question your view of a prem striker who's stats, as you quoted, are 'quite impressive'.

Is Darren Bent really sixteen times better than Trevor Francis?
