Title: Darren Bent
Post by: Scot Munroe on Friday, June 29, 2007, 20:31:39
gone to the yids for £16.5m on a 6yr deal. Thats a very good bit of business done by spurs. Berbatov and Bent upfront next season.

It's obvious that Spurs have spent that much money on Bent as a softener for Berbatov fucking off to possibly Man Utd.

You always have to pay more for youth and potential. Plus Henry's wages push his transfer fee down

Spending half that would have been a rip off. I'm not saying he's shit, but ffs that's stupid money

in some respects spurs are paying for the partnership - the pace and power of bent alongside the skill, elegance and creativity of berbatov is, on paper, one hell of a front line. then with keane, and defoe on the bench, those are some serious options.

£16.5million might seem a lot of money, but premiership clubs are suddenly very very rich thanks to the new tv deal.

I think its a good deal IMO. Of course Bent is going to cost more than Henry. He's about 7 years younger and he's English of course. Henry has peaked and could be a bit injury prone now. I am sure Spurs will fly next season and fully expect them to finish above Arsenal who could atruggle upfront.

The guy's now 22/23 ish, i would say that is at, or approaching his peak for a striker.he is not going to get any better, he will never first choice for his country, in fact will struggle to get into the match 16 for England. The  bloke is not worth 16.5 million pounds on a football or commercial aspect, simple as

Who cares about the reserves league though?

£16 million seems a bit high but good player to buy.

Good signing, bad price. That is all.
