Sorry, couldn't help myself. I have another picture somewhere...Darren Bent, formerly of Charlton Athletic, has signed a 6 year contract in a transfer deal worth £16.5m. Staggering money, at least for us, and as such occasioning worries about the future of other players. If we can afford to pay so much for Bent, is that because there are imminent transfers for Defoe or Berbatov? There has been no talk of Berbatov going for a while, and The Guardian today reports that Defoe (ever the likelier to depart) will stay. If we for a moment dare to believe that our striking line-up for next season will, in fact, be Berbatov, Keane, Defoe and Bent, then we have cause for nothing but celebrations.
Europe next season, plenty of games to be played, and with these four talents there can be some rotation and back-up. Bent is a very good and still young player who really wants to play for Spurs, and as such a most welcome addition to the team. His decision to turn down astronomic wages at West Ham and fit into the comparatively low (comparatively, remember) wage structure at Spurs does him credit. "In my heart of hearts I always wanted to come to Tottenham", says Darren. Welcome.
Ah, here it is...
