yeah, current wages are at least 60-70k a week according to my villa supporting mate so little chance we could afford him sadly
Exactly there is no way we could afford him, And he still has two years on contract! So dont see many clubs wanting pay the full 60-70k Maybe a loan out and part payment?
£60-70k a week to sit on the bench all the time is just madness. If he was desperate to play he'd drop his wage demands.
People seem to be overlooking the way Bruce was livid with him at Sunlan for the way he went about securing his move to Villa.
We're never going to sign Darren Bent, I don't know why he keeps getting mentioned. He'll go for more than we'd pay, he'll get higher wages than we can pay and Bruce thinks he's a twat. Complete non-starter.
Bent won't be coming here - even in the likes of Liverpool aren't interested he wouldn't drop his wages to a level we could afford
Villa want £6-8m for him He's on £80k a week He's also been linked with Liverpool and Fulham Take your pick.
For the reasons he's just given Charlie!! Didn't Bent have a Twitter rant afew years ago when he was leaving Spurs about not wanting to join us?
I missed that one of my list, in the name of good taste. He wasn't best pleased when Bent buggered off either... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/video/2011/jan/21/steve-bruce-darren-bent-sunderland-video
