He doesn't look like he can run anymore.

Age finally caught up with him?! Seriously though, I thought it must be down to injury or whatever, he's been a disaster for Everton.

The transfer fee sounds excessive when you first hear it but after considering the number of goals he's scored over the last few years and the fact that they've sold him mid-season, it's probably quite a fair price.

A bit off topic, but how the fuck did Yakubu end up at Leicester (or wherever it is he's gone)? His goal record is/was good, he's a shit player but obviously effective for some teams.

How is getting away with claiming he is 28 ?

Re the yak.

He does look perma-knackered.

Leicester are playing some good stuff, they'll be back in the prem soon enough

Sportsmail can reveal the deal is not even that lucrative for Sunderland because £6million of an £18m fee rising to £24m will go to Tottenham.

They will collect a sell-on fee of around £3m, having offloaded Bent to Sunderland 18 months ago, and also an outstanding payment of £3m on that original deal.

Spurs will be delighted with Villa.

well, that's only really £3m going to spurs from the £18m, seeing as the other £3m was due anyway.

I hate Spurs.

Pays for Pienaar.

I don't understand why people are perplexed about Bent going to Villa, he's a black guy from London living in the North East, of course he's gonna want to leave!

Fair point Neets! Good spot...

Didn't affect Kieran Richardson.

 

[Halmeister]

Scored on his debut. Again. 1-0 against Man City with not long left.

Got to say, he's unfashionable and overpriced but he WILL get goals.

 

[Fabio]

I wouldn't say he's overpriced, it's because he's unfashionable people think he is overpriced. His scoring record is fantastic

To be honest, I agree. If he fires Villa up the table you can't really put a price on that.
