Bentley is the exact reason Levy does not want to pay over the odds for a player.
So has his contract officially run out and we've released him?
Thought he still had a year left, no?
One thing people forget is that Lennon had become distinctly complacent at the time and Bentley's arrival was crucial to give him a kick in the arse and regain his mojo...
Looking for a silver lining here...

A number of clubs are weighing up moves for Tottenham's David Bentley
Sky Sports understands David Bentley is set to leave Tottenham this summer with a number of clubs chasing his signature.
Bentley spent this season out on loan at Russian side FC Rostov and Blackburn after finding himself down the pecking order at White Hart Lane.
The former Blackburn and Arsenal man decided to go out on loan in a bid to get some regular first-team action.
The 28-year-old is unlikely to find himself in Andre Villas-Boas' plans next season and it seems both parties are considering a parting of the ways.
A number of clubs are thought to be monitoring Bentley's situation and are ready to move for him this summer.
The likes of West Brom, West Ham and Wigan are all believed to be admirers of Bentley, and are keen on signing him if he does leave Tottenham.
i thought he was out of contract this summer??....sh!te, will we ever see the back of him
The strangest thing is that his crossing ability, skill on the ball (Which he has bags of) and right-footedness would have been perfect for our left midfield position last season, which was mostly shared between Dempsey, Sigurdsson and Lennon as Bale moved into the middle.
If only he applied himself. Sigh.

I still don't think Bentley would have done much on the left. Sigurdsson and Dempsey work very hard, something Bentley doesn't.
