The great thing is though that both provide completely different options. Bentley is much better on the ball, and his passing and crossing is really similar to that of Beckham, while Lennon's pace is special and he can get past almost anyone on pace alone. So really it depends a bit on the defender they're playing against.

couldn't agree more.
I think you're right about Bentley because a) he gets more first team football and b) he's 3 years older than Lennon.
Your point about Lennon's is good too because many said Evra was the fastest in the EPL, and yet when Spurs played Man U at old trafford Lennon absolutely destroyed him for pace! You won't see many Left backs quicker than Evra, so if Lennon can smoke him then he can threaten anybody.
