Like a monster in a horror film, the 'David Bentley-Martin Petrov swap deal' story has come back to life to ruin your Christmas. It's in the Mirror today. This was last suggested in the summer, and it's an understatement to say that I was unenthusiastic.
Both wingers have spent the season so far on the fringes of their respective sides, and while Martin Petrov has fought for his place and chipped in with three goals and three assists, David Bentley has picked up a drink-driving conviction and little else. He started at the Emirates and ought to have been sent off within the first eight minutes.
I'm not sure for how much longer we'll have Martin Petrov, and I would be sad to see him leave. But I would be distraught to see him go to Spurs in exchange for David Bentley.

Excellent article. Completely agree. First off, it makes sense to try to keep Petrov. If we can't do that, bag the money and spend it on a better winger than Bentley.
If we do end up signing Bentley, we will have to hope that Hughes does a similar job on him as he did on the other quasi-nut, Bellamy.
"It's in The Mirror"
The well known red-supporting red-top, therefore it must be true. Wouldn't wipe my arse on The Daily Mirror. You'd wipe more on than off.
I agree with Mark Wilson.
Thing is, I don't think Bentley and Bellamy are the same kind of "quasi-nut". Bellamy is passionate about performance, and at times in his past has misdirected his enthusiasm. Bentley shows no evidence of giving a shit about anyone or anything other than Bentley. Why anyone would want him, I have no idea.
If Bentley signs for City, I will have no alternative but to conclude that Sparky has taken leave of his senses.
Of course, this could all be Daily Mirror nonsense...
