ha, i've just put this in the transfer thread. And as i said in there, i'd fucking love him
 
Two out of Hazard, Young or Sanchez and we'd all be laughing.

Without addressing other araes yeah perhaps we'd still conceede two goals per game but we'd score at least four ourselves.

Alexis.

Wouldn't mind Suarez either but I'd love to see us getting our hands on a real, pacy, skillful winger from top-drawer.

Obv Villa need a striker, and Bent's a good player, but 18m is a *lot* of money.

Also, I thought Bruce loved him, and the feeling was mutual?
[/quote]

He absolutely hates life in Sunderland apparently.

You can see his point.
 
Christ Bent went to Charlton for £2.5m
Spurs for £16m
Sunderland for (eventually) £15.5m
If he goes to Villa @ £18m

Thats..........thats.........

Thats some millions.
 
'Seriously getting p***ed off now,' read his first message. The striker then went on to add: 'Why can't anything be simple?
'Sunderland are not the problem in the slightest.
'Do I wanna go Hull City? NO. Do I wanna go Stoke? NO. Do I wanna go Sunderland? YES So stop f****** around Levy.".'

----------

'He said: “I had a good chat with the manager recently and I just thought that, with the run we’re on at the moment, I needed to get rid of the distractions.

“I have to solely focus on getting Sunderland out of the relegation battle and I have shut the Twitter down. I don’t even go on it any more to look at what other people are posting.

“It became a distraction I didn’t need. I thought I would fully concentrate on the football.â€'

Twittering was making him lose his focus on getting his club out of the relegation zone. Decent player, obv, but that's shameful.
 
After not getting selected for the World Cup last year, Bent got a tatto on his arm with the letters 'KTF' inscribed. For 'Keep the Faith'.

True story.
 
He's worth 18M easily if he can score 20 goals a season for any of the top sides.

Would he do it at a bigger club though when he's already failed at Spurs?

Personally I think he failed at Spurs through little fault of his own.

If he was partnered with Torres I think he could do very well for us.

The deal is worth 24M once you throw in all the add-on's apparently.

That's a lot of cash for somebody who's only ever succeeded at mid-table clubs, and not been looked at by a succession of International Managers.

24m is to much.

2m more and we got Torres.

I still think he's an excellant striker and would score goals in any team that plays him regularily.

But f8ck me 24m??????
 
Word is that they raise the $$ for it by selling Young to us or something.

"Word"

Young is not a 20 million player.

I hope we don't pay that much on him...
[/quote]

If Robbie Keane is worth 20m, Dossena 8m and Poulson 4.5m then Young is easily worth 20m.
 
I don't think it's a like for like transfer or anything, just that Villa will try to fund most of the Bent deal through whatever we apparently give them for Young.

Apparently being the operative word.

None of those players are worth what we paid for them though, unless you're suggesting we should guage transfer fees based on some of the biggest flops in our history.
 
Liverpool sign Bent.........................

To be fair, he's a London lad used to the bright lights. Living and playing for fcuking Sunderland is a bit of a dampner. I could understand his eagerness to come down further south to Birmingham. People are quick to throw the money jibe at him, but in any year gone by (beside this one), going from Sunderland to Villa would be a big step up.

Yeah, but it's a lot closer to London.. and has got a better nightlife scene than fcuking Sunderland.

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.
