Spurs set for £16m wonder winger bid: A fantastic talent!

Valencia may well have secured David Villa’s future at the Mestalla, but another superbly talented Spaniard is being hotly pursued by Tottenham.
Joaquín is set to be the player that Valencia have to off-load this summer in order to balance the books and Tottenham Hotspur could be ready to match his asking price.
The 26-year-old has demanded answers from the club in recent weeks about their plans for him after los Ché persuaded both David Villa and David Silva to stay, according to Marca.Valencia made it clear towards the end of last term that they would have to sell one of their big names and it now appears that Joaquín will be allowed to leave for the right price.
Juande Ramos is a fan of the right-sided winger and looks set to offer him a chance to resurrect his career in the Premier League as part of his new look side at White Hart Lane.
Valencia’s asking price of €20m (16m) could be negotiable, but would not be out of Tottenham’s reach and if Valencia tell the player that they will listen then he will help speed up any transfer. (goal.com)
Joaquin is an old-fashioned winger who loves bombing down the wing and, more often than not, delivering a delightful cross to his welcoming team-mates. After a solid season in La Liga, it was somewhat of a shock that Luis Aragones decided to overlook the former Real Betis man in his final Euro squad. Obviously, the speculation linking the 26-year-old to White Hart Lane will further fuel speculation that fellow right-winger Aaron Lennon may not have much of a future at the club. Do Spurs fans feel that Joaquin would be a better bet than the England wideman?

Lillywhite barry knight - July 8th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
To be fair mate i agree why would he want to join ArseAnal , when he can join Super Spurs.
Lee Hunter - July 8th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Would rather Ramos buy Bentley, the only foreigners I am interested in him buying are Podolski and Capel.
tonykoay - July 8th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
As a spurs fan… I would like to welcome teh arrival of Joaquin but I would also like to hold on Aaron….

hes a good plan b signing just in case blackburn decide to be stupid about bentley

Get him onboard. Competition is just what lennon could do with. Also he is qaulity with pace & end product, crossing/scoring. Bentley on the other hand is just another overrated englishman & over priced.
Dean in Brum - July 8th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
I don’t really know much about this Joaquín player, but for many reasons, I would rather see us purchase Bentley and keep Aaron Lennon.
Bentley would give Lennon some much-needed competition on the right-wing, and this purchase would mean that Lennon would really need to “up” his game if he was to start ahead of Bentley.
I also hope we keep Steed, as alongside Robbie Keane, his is one of our hardest working players and also very popular amongst the fans.
I will be rather disappointed if we retain the services of Dider Zokara as I can’t see what he gives to the team - he reminds me of Stefan Freund, but with a lot more pace, i.e. pretty useless.

ha rry hotspur has said bentley is a yid so if not true i dont kno why he ballshits and makes up storys
Judge - July 8th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
we dont need to get joaquin and bentley one or the other, i say bentley! i feel we could get an extra defender because i just cant see King playing evrygame which is unfortunate and i just dont feel Dawson is good enough, also woodgate and daws are slow so they just cant play together whereas with king woodgate is fine!
supersuperspurs - July 8th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Id rather joaquin than the much overrated bentley, having seen him play a bit, ok last season for valencia wasnt brilliant or consistent but the same can be said for david villa and silva but just look how they both performed in the euro’s under the guidence of a better manager than they have at club level, anyway please please please superramos buy joaquin, otherwise we will end up being a laughing stock again buying an overpriced english player who has had one half decent season with a middle of the road premier league club…….funny how they both have BENT in the names though.
and as for the childish a5erna1 pikey chavs clear off u aint welcome.
Spursahoyy - July 8th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Joaquin all the way watched him for valencia last year an he was there main danger and outlet from midfield, very fast down the wings and always delivers a fantastic cross!! also a great freekick taker!! bentley i believe is a bent/crouch/nugent, they all excel at the lower levels but have any of them done it at the top so far?
Loon - July 8th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
JOAQUIN IS 3 TIMES THE PLAYER BENTLEY IS, IN NEED OF A CHANGE IN DIRECTION IN TERMS OF CAREER .BENTLEY HAD A GOOD SEASON B JOAQUIN WORLD CLASS .GET HIM RAMOS

arron ramsey…. nice work arsene, nice work!

feckdemgooners - July 9th, 2008 at 7:43 am
I think Bentley is overvalued but still good, I think with him and lennon and Dos Santos plus Bale too we already have some good wide players not sure if we need to spend this. Would prefer a quality DM. Re CB I wonder if Gunther will be expected to make the step up and play CB, watched him play for Wales U21 v England U21 and he looked quality, wales best player (ain’t saying much)
James - July 9th, 2008 at 8:15 am
I agree £17million is alot for Bentley but I would still him rather than Joaquin whenever Ive seen him play I was unimpressed. Bentley is an arse hole and thinks he’s better than he is but then so does Ronaldo. I’m not for one second saying Bentley is anywhere near as good a player Ronaldo is but there both arse holes and bein an arse hole doesnt mean he cant do a job. Bentley can get valuble goals from midfield but more important can cross the ball. They should definatley keep Lennon if they can if they need to free up cash for another centre back then Id get rid of some of the other fringe players over Lennon.
SomerYid - July 9th, 2008 at 10:08 am
I can understand what people say about Zokora, however I have a different opinon, yes he isnt the most technically gifted player we have, however, he works hard and his role goes unnoticed, he breaks play up and pressures people! He isnt there to create, hence why we have Modric. I for one dont think he should start, but he is a useful squad member, can pivot the midfield, and can comfortably slot in to CB if required! I can understand why people would disagree, but he does the poor mans job, the battler, cast your mind back to Spurs 5 Arsenal 1, Tainio was the battler and he had a blinder, not many noticed tho as all he did was pressurise, win the ball, and give the ball to someone like JJ to build! Zokora is that type of player, one prepared to sit and break the play! I hope he stays as stated earlier, as a very useful sub/utility man in my opinion!
SomerYid - July 9th, 2008 at 10:10 am
tuff a la gooner - big words from a top 4 selling club!
lilywhite - July 9th, 2008 at 11:03 am
joaquin is an older version of lennon - his final ball is not great and to me it seems he has less time to improve thane lennon - everyone forgets hes only 21.
lodvic - July 9th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Take the £17mil that we might waste on the over preened over rated Bentley and spend it on Wright-Phillips. He is a better version of Lennon and if he was playing regular first team footie Bentley wouldnt even get a look in regards the England team. If we cant get Phillips then sign Joaquin as both these players are simular to Lennon and will help Lennon develope without having to chage the style of play. I dont think we should let Blackburn hold us to ransom over Bentley as he is not good enough. Maybe next season when Blackburn fail to quilify for europe again we can take a couple of Ince’s players cheeper but 17 mil for Bentley….. No Way!!!!
I havent even see Modric play more than 5 games i already know he is better than Bentley and he only cost us £16 mil…
No one else will pay the £17mil so if we dont pay it he will stay at Blackburn untill his price comes down or everyone realises he is shite!

Why is there such a massive divide between “Marmite” Bentley. Most pundits and analysts of the Premiership last season claimed that Bentley and Berbatov were the hidden gems of the league. Granted, i’d be sad to see Bent leave Spurs, he arrived last season on the back of enormous pressure as well as an enormous price-tag, therefore expectation may have been too high. Still best ratio of goals per game last season though, and i have a feeling he’ll recover his best this season. IMO, Bentley is one of the best playmaking wingers in the league, plus he’s young so we should be glad to have him.
Dam - July 9th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Same website that just stated we would sign Bentley by Friday, another right sided player. Make your mind up!
i love giovani - July 9th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
firstly f4ck off gooner scum .secndly. how the fk can u lot think bentley is overated..he can pass shoot cross works hes bllks off hes a london boy wants to come and is an eng internationa….if he joins ill have a w45k
onegrahamroberts - July 9th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
bentley coming to the lane would be a major coup..and as for slagging off bent ,hes never had kick, dont jugdge to soon.as 4 joaguim…hes past it ,he was bril 3 yrs ago ,,hes fatter then jol
HoxtonBoy - July 9th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Bent has got pace and power but he doesn’t really fit into the intricate build up we get with Berba and Keane. He needs to to running onto balls over the top and powering in crosses. I’d keep him and try to play him more but the team needs to be able to adapt to the attributes of whichever strikers are playing.
paul - July 9th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Joaquin is a quality player just started to get back to his best towards the end of the season, would be a good signing as would Bently both are very good technically, Lennon hopefully he is back fresh from the knee injury which i think hampered him last season and he is crossing a thousand balls in training every day.
The best signing was seeing both Ledley and Bale back in training, bale is going to be quality this year……….
