Bent Gunning for top four
-
DARREN BENT has backed Tottenham to dump Arsenal out of the top four.
Spurs' record signing is expecting to challenge for a Champions League spot this term. And the £16.5million striker reckons North London rivals Arsenal should watch their backs.
Bent said: "I believe Spurs have a real opportunity to break into the top four now and I think we can be one of the biggest clubs in Europe. "There's no reason why we can't catch the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool. "The Champions League is the real target. That's where the best teams in the world play and I genuinely believe Tottenham will get into that bracket.
"When you look at the squad we have, we can definitely compete at that level, which is what makes this season coming so exciting." Bent tasted European action with Ipswich six years ago. And he is keen to fire Spurs to UEFA Cup glory this season. He added: "I managed a couple of goals and got a taste of it but I was still really young back then.
"I'd like to think I'm a better player now so, this time around, I think I'll be a bit more prepared for it. -
he tink he god ar -
with the kind of squad they have, its likely to happen
-
Let's see if Darren Bent is right..
-
If, I say if, Tottemham can be top 4 at the expense of which club? Arsenal? nah I dun think so.
Anyway Tottemham is just a average team only. no fear. -
there is a good chance with the kind of squad they have now.
-
Yup certainly think their capable of it.
-
I want to see pompey dump spurs out of top four...
-
It is highly possible, especially when it's shaky times at the Gunners.
Cheers.

let's see.
paul robinson provide a decent last man in defence.
the impressive Michael Dawson and (injury-prone) captain Ledley King are superb guardians.
aaron lennon provide penetration and is a livewire; tricky and dangerous.
didier zokora provide bite, stability and much-valued ball-winning abilities.
Berbatov provide flamboyance and guarantee goals.
Robbie Keane is a very good player no doubt, coupled with creativity and flair.
Defoe will perform the super-sub role.
Now that leaves Darren Bent to step up and show the world what he can do.
I reckon that he guarantees at least 10 goals, and his contributions would be very positive.
The only problem would be Jol havin' to rotate his squad every now and then to keep his HUGE squad happy. -
Dawson is a really good defender, Jol must keep him if they want to do the almost impossible(replacing Arsenal)
-
bent scored his first two goals for spurs in their 3 - 1 over southend.
-
they must also learn how to close off the match, and not let in silly goals after going ahead.
