Here's hoping Blackburn Rovers don't need to sell their prize Bentley
The former Arsenal player has been brilliant this season for Rovers. He's a potential summer transfer target for many of the big clubs, but Chris Goldsmith pleads with Mark Hughes not to sell.

Davids Bentley has been in superb form for Blackburn Rovers throughout this season. He has made Rovers midfield a lot stronger since his move from Arsenal, where he had little opportunity to flourish, playing only limited reserve games.
It was a big move for the youngster. By deciding to join amid-division (but admittedly ambitious) team like Blackburn he virtually forfeited the chance of more immediate Premier Ledague and Champions Ledague opportunities.
But Mark Hughes persuaded Bentley to join the Blackburn line-up guaranteeing him first team football and enabling the player to show just what he can do on the pitch. I think Bentley has been a great success this season and is definately a player Rovers do not want to lose in the summer transfer market. The team would not be the same if a big club came in with a big offer that Hughes and the club could not turn down.
Bentley's strength is his attacking nature. He is confident when striking the ball, making him very dangerous from set plays illustrated by his ever growing goals tally for the Ewood Park outfit. He is also a great crosser of the ball and this works well in tandum with the goal-scoring nature of strikers Roque Santa Cruz and Benni McCarthy.

J D, are we wasting our time? It seems that our scholar Chris is so focused on producing a great calibre of work that he has no time for a basic spell checker. He either thinks his readers are utter morons or has such little pride in his own writing reputation that even so much as reading through work is a waste of his valuable time. Seriously Chris, why are you bothering to write at all? Just work in a bar until you have the money to buy the Playstation. Then again, that would take a degree of attention to detail.

It's obvious that JD is to spelling, what Michael Thomas is to grammar & punctuation
