Anyone know when his contract runs out? surely the biggest waste of money by spurs, the sooner he is off the books the better.
Not sure why but I always thought that if a loan player got a long term injury they basically went back to their parent club for both wages and recovery. I know this has happened in the past with our youngsters - maybe it's just for shorter loans.
If I was hiring help from another company and said help was unable to do their job, I'd send them on their way and stop paying. "hired help" might be a term that doesn't fit Bentley very well, but hey ho.
I read somewhere it was 50/50 re his wages, but West Ham had a break clause in Jan - where presumably they'll terminate the loan. Shame Agent Bentley couldn't do a number on them (007 perhaps like Agent Keane did last season It's close as to who was our biggest waste of money ever, Rebrov or Bentley, but perhaps no coincidence both ended up at the Boo-leyn
I have a nasty feeling he joined on a 5 year contract, that would keep him contracted to us until end of 2012/13 season
Well at least that's better, in some ways, than it running only til end of this season. We may still get £5m-odd for him next summer rather than paying his wages while he's crocked then him going on a free in the summer. OK - maybe not £5m...
Unfortunately, HBIC, the Resale value would have been a lot higher if we'd done the sensible thing and outed him a year or two ago. Who's going to want him now? Looks like only the Spammers.
