Eidur In, Bentley Out!!!

Eidur set for Spurs Return
 
"Sky Sports News understands that Eidur Gudjohnsen is set to complete a permanent move to Tottenham within the next 14 days.
The Monaco striker spent the last four months of the 2009-10 season on loan at White Hart Lane and helped Spurs clinch a UEFA Champions League place.
And, despite scoring just twice for Harry Redknapp's men during that time, the 31-year-old appears to have convinced the Spurs boss to offer him a long-term deal.
Gudjohnsen has already proved himself in the Premier League, scoring 78 times in 177 games for London rivals Chelsea before leaving Stamford Bridge in 2006.
A three-year spell at Barcelona yielded just 10 goals in 72 appearances, and saw the striker shipped out to Monaco last summer.
Rumours circulated that Gudjohnsen was to return to England this campaign for a season-long loan deal with Aston Villa, however it now looks certain that he will return to North London."
 
 
Bentley facing uncertian future.
 
"David Bentley admits he remains uncertain as to whether he will still be at Tottenham next season.
The 25-year-old winger has struggled to make the desired impact at White Hart Lane since making a big-money move from Blackburn in 2008.
First-team opportunities have been sporadic, with Bentley unable to hold down a regular role.
That proved to be the case again last season, with Spurs boss Harry Redknapp awarding him just 12 Premier League outings.
A lack of action has led to speculation regarding his future, with some suggesting he would be wise to move on.
Bentley, though, insists he remains committed to the Tottenham cause and will be doing his utmost during pre-season to force his way into the fold.
"Hopefully I will get fit and as strong as possible and look to have another good season," he told Sky Sports News.
"Whether I get out on the pitch, you never know. You can be as fit as possible but not play any football, so we will see what happens."
 Options  On the possibility of making a move elsewhere, Bentley added: "We will have to see, you never know. I'm at Tottenham at the minute, but let's see what happens."
Bentley is keen to remain in north London, with Tottenham preparing to enter the UEFA Champions League next season.
The opportunity to appear in Europe's premier club competition certainly appeals to Bentley, but he accepts that competition for places remains fierce.
He is currently battling with England international Aaron Lennon for a right-wing berth and knows he may be forced to settle for a place on the bench at times.
"I think when you are at a top club that's what happens," he said.
"The Champions League is great for the club and great for the fans and hopefully it will be great for me. But you never know and we will have to see what is going to happen."

I'd probably sell Gio now his stock is to rise after a good WC. My fear with Gio is with him in the side along with lennon nd modric we lack decent size in midfield. Selling Gio after the WC we can demand a higher fee for him
COYS!

I would be quite happy with Eidur staying on a free transfer or for a small fee. His experiance will be vital in the CL next season. He has alos become quite versatile in his twilight years, dropping deeper into to midfield as well as being a focal point up top.

I think Fitness was a problem with Eidur last season... he just looked so slow to me and couldn't keep up with the pace. If he can get him self fitter then keep him

I agree, if he can have a good rest before preseason then hopefully that can help him and his fitness and sharpness will only improve. He undoubtedly has the talent to be good addition to the squad.
COYS!
