Santa Cruz i'm not sure about either, he seems to score goals in clumps rather than consistently.

For Bentley I think now that he has his eye on the right wing for England he has knuckled down more and if given a chance back at a top team he'd thrive. It would be a bit of a gamble.

As for Santa Cruz, it's the age-old 'would he score more goals at a better team?' ie. Arsenal where he's going to get many more chances created for him? Again, a gamble.

Yeah absolutely. I just don't think Mark Hughes will sell either of them for the kinda money you'd want your team 'gambling'.

Very true. Although I can't see Wenger going out and spending big money on David Villa and Ben Arfa like all the papers are reporting. We'll end up with some 12-year-old Tunisian goalkeeper and a centre back from Botswana that's just hit 19.
