Title: Darren Bent Post by: land_of_bo on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:22:34 Off to Villa, £18m :hmmm: :no:
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Chubbs on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:25:40 with the possibility of rising to 24??
How the fuck has that been valuated? Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: bigbobjoylove on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:25:54 Wonder why O'Neil wasn't given that sort of money to spend? Unless they're selling a few players to finance it.
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: land_of_bo on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:27:59 Did they not get £24m for Milner?
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: mrverve on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:29:27 A good player but £18 fucking million?
Gerard Houllier is a mentalist. Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Sippo on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:30:02 Did he put it on twitter first?!
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Chubbs on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:37:36 his twitter said "Heading down to birmingham now. Freezing"
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Benzel on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:38:33 Why on earth would he go to Villa?
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Power to people on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:41:27 He's never worth that amount
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:49:58 That's nearly £50m in combined transfer fees in his career.
Is he really that good? Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Nemo on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:51:44 He's moved between Premiership teams, is English, relatively young and a goalscorer. All of those factors lead to inflated transfer values, he just has all of them so ends up looking a bit daft. Of course, if it's the difference between Villa staying up and going down then he's worth every penny, but Sunderland have a decent deal too: they have Gyan, Welbeck and Frazier Campbell in the position and can strengthen elsewhere with the money.
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Bogus Dave on Monday, January 17, 2011, 13:54:39 The best english goalscorer
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: bobby on Monday, January 17, 2011, 14:02:02 Alot of money for Sunderland to turn down, not to sure why why he would want to go though. Sunderland are 6th and with gyan and bent have got a very good chance of staying there while villa are struggling
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: london_red on Monday, January 17, 2011, 14:09:10 his twitter said "Heading down to birmingham now. Freezing" To be fair that was on 5th Jan, when Sunderland were away at Villa. It is a lot of money but he's got the track record at Premiership level. Only Drogba and Rooney have scored more since he made his prem debut, so i don't think it's an outrageous fee given the sort of money that's been spent on Milner, Glen Johnson etc in the last few years. Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Langers on Monday, January 17, 2011, 16:25:52 Why the fuck go to villa! I can only assume for money.
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: DMR on Monday, January 17, 2011, 16:40:19 I cant make my mind up about Bent, the amount of chances he squanders is shocking, yet at the same time, he's always thereabouts on the leading scorers lists - so his presence clearly brings about chances.
Imagine if he was as clinical as an Owen or Shearer in their pomp, he'd be fucking lethal! Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Arriba on Monday, January 17, 2011, 16:45:09 to be fair to him,he has scored shit loads of goals in the prem.
didn't work out for him at spurs, but everywhere else he has played he has banged them in regularly. Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Spencer_White on Monday, January 17, 2011, 18:03:30 £18m for Bent should ruin Villa for a while.
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, January 17, 2011, 18:18:17 What a dick. Sunderland got his career going again and now he wants to fuck off because Villa (who are much shitter than Sunderland may I add) have come calling. Sorry but this smells of more money to me. Just doesn't make sense.
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: leefer on Monday, January 17, 2011, 18:19:19 Been reports that he has had problems off field in Sunderland.
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, January 17, 2011, 18:19:52 Been reports that he has had problems off field in Sunderland. It's the only thing I can think off that would make him want to leave. Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Boeta on Monday, January 17, 2011, 18:22:26 southern boy isn't he? can't think of many southerners who would want to live in sunderland
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: leefer on Monday, January 17, 2011, 18:25:44 It's the only thing I can think off that would make him want to leave. To be honest i am suprised none of the bigger clubs are sniffing at that price....not a great footballer but scores for fun. Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Abrahammer on Monday, January 17, 2011, 18:43:35 £18m for a 26 year old who is the 3rd highest prem scorer since 2005, sounds like a good deal to me.
Only Drogba and Rooney have scored more in that time and it's safe to say, based on the standard of their team mates, they have probably had more chances during that time. Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, 11:36:24 ***Exclusive*** Liverpool sign bent

Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, 13:01:30 Wouldn't surprise me to see Sunderland try and sign Owen from Man U
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: cavpete on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, 13:13:11 Sunderland have accepted a £24 million offer for Darren Bent
£30 million + Emile Heskey made me chuckle when i saw this Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: nevillew on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, 13:16:56 Wouldn't surprise me to see Sunderland try and sign Owen from Man U Especially as it was blazed across the back page of one of the Sunday rags. Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: Ginginho on Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 17:12:52 Apparently Aston Villa Chairman Randy Lerner likes their players Young and Bent.
Title: Re: Darren Bent Post by: land_of_bo on Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 17:17:47 Apparently Aston Villa Chairman Randy Lerner likes their players Young and Bent. ...and Gary Glitter has applied for a season ticket. He's praying Otto Pfister takes over as manager. |
