Nice one. I think he'd be the striker/goal scorer we need.
You what?

wtf is Sumo doing starting new threads ?
Could you not have bumped a four year old one about Marcus Bent instead?
Anyway:
I cringed at that.
Bent - has a good goalscoring record, has a habit of falling out with every club he plays for. Is going to cost 20m+, his best years are more than likely already behind him, we won't be able to sell him for half of what we pay for him, he'll get 100k+ a week on a four year deal. We'll have to pay the English tax, the Premiership Proven tax etc etc.
Fucking avoid.

We need to find the new Darren Bent. It can't be that fucking hard to find a decent English up and coming poacher.

He's a proven 20 goals a season man I'd have him.
please no. we've made a mistake with carroll (although he has time to turn it around) and we'll compound that mistake with the purchase of bent. apart from scoring the guy offers fuck all and sure we need a goal scorer but we don't need a goal hanger.

Confused..... So the only thing he does is score goals and we need a goal scorer but it would be a mistake to buy a goalscorer. I don't care how he scores.
The mistake that was made with carroll was he was boughtof the back of a purple patch, at least this lad has shown through his career he can score.

its nothing like the caroll situation, andy wasnt a proven experienced player, i duno really. you're right about him not adding anything apart from goals but thats the thing we really need right now, if we had him at the start of the season we'd be in a much better position. id rather have somebody else but i wouldnt be upset if we signed him basically

Like I've said, he'll no doubt appease our thirst for goals in the short-term, but we'll overspend on him, it will have long-term implications, and there's better options elsewhere, IMO. It would really make question the logic Kenny and Comolli are using to build their squad.
And this is coming from someone who has wanted us to sign Bent a few times in the past. Problem is we're four years a bit late.

this smacks of a panic buy to help us out in the short term but in the long term we'll be stuck with a goal hanger who offers fuck all outside the box.
yes we're desparate for goals but we can do better than darren fucking bent, SURELY?!
I disike the player so much that not even the fact he is black curries favour with me

When we were after Clichey I was wondering if Comolli was trying to prove he was good enough for a top side so he would be proved right all along. I'm kind of wondering the same thing about Darren Bent. Hopefully not - but these are the transfers a DOF is meant to prevent.
Bent, Downing, Carroll, we're like the England b team. Is Steve Hodge still playing?
Why did you shoot an elf?
Cunt.
Cunt.
I don't want Darren Bent.
I don't know who I want, but considering we employ people to scout all day every day, you'd hope they'd find someone*
* I realise this hasn't worked for decades.
