Darren Bent

This.

 

Bent would be a negative signing for me. It doesn't really matter what the club think of him, he starts on a back foot which is always a danger. Whereas Aubameyang, for example, would have thousands buying a shirt with his name on the back and be given pretty much all the leeway he needs, Bent would need to score within his first two appearances else everyone will assume he's as crap as first feared.

Can't quite understand why I'm even reading articles on the likes of Bent, Tomkins and Pilkington. It's like we just got relegated.

 

20 goals a season in the right set up. He's not the sort that will score goals no matter what team he's in.

You need to basically build a team simply to feed Bent.

 

More news (or is it ?) on Darren Bent, although there is nothing on the AVFC website to back up the claim that he has been ostracised by Paul Lambert. As it is an open secret that AVFC wants to offload Darren Bent, because he does not fit into the game-plan and to save on his wages, the press will continue to speculate.

Telegraph - Aston Villa freeze out Darren Bent and leave former England striker to ponder his future

 

Sad mackem bastard, your just a sad mackem bastard.

According to the Chronicle Bent is now our only striker target:

I thought Brown Ideye was the most likely to come? I still retain hope that Bent is being considered IN ADDITION to a top class striker, though I am increasingly resigned to the fact that a dinosaur like Kinnear probably thinks he IS a top class striker.

 

I'm not sure I'd want Bent IN ADDITION to a top class striker, he's had his day and I'd rather have a younger player with a future ahead of him that'll be keen to impress rather than just pick up a pay cheque.

 

Bent can p*** off.
Mike Ashley can p*** off.
Joe Kinnear can f*** off.

 

I don't believe it, we've gone from being tactically inept but signing quality overseas players for a pittance, to being tactically inept and signing has-beens for more than they're worth. How could anyone look at our previous model and decide the one thing that needed changing was our budget gems transfer policy?

 

To be fair, we should wait and see what happens. I don't recall any club in the history of the world asking its' fans "well, whaddya think of this guy?" before splashing the cash. But as I've said, it would be staggeringly inept for "the board" to sanction such a mind-numbingly unambitious deal with all eyes upon them. There's got to be dozens of better options than Bent.

 

Not want him back at your place Sid?

 

Now that is a stretch Sid...

 

Think he'd be a decent signing for £5m if you can get him to drop his wages a bit.

Shouldn't be a problem if he harbours any ambition to get to the world cup!

 

Unimaginative signing, a bit like our manager seemed last season so maybe it will be a match made in heaven

 

I nearly missed this, with all the talk about Benteke.

Skysports - Newcastle boss Alan Pardew targets strike duo Darren Bent and Loic Remy

If Pardew wants Darren Bent, then it should just hinge on the transfer fee.

The Kinnear factor might derail matters.

 

Apparently the deal offered for Remy is £6 million plus Steve Taylor. Is sometome taking the pee as it puts Saylor's worth at about £2 million. !!!!!!! Tompkins is worth £6 million apparently so someone is talking sh..e.

 

Not for the first time.
