Yeah, I think Bentley has all the potential but needs 2 or 3 good seasons to be a top European player. Next year is make or break for him. I think he went to the right team at the wrong time. He was playing better at Blackburn under the right manager, if he was still at Blackburn, he'd be in exactly the same position now.
I think the only other option of him doing any better now, is a loan at Portsmouth or Hull. Give him some match time and a team where he can control midfield. But I'm not sure the rules allow loans after Jan, I know some circumstances apply, but thought they were scrapping it altogether.
