Would love to see him come in on loan and prove himself, although I cant see us taking a look at him with the relationship he previously had with 'Arry http://www1.skysports.com/football/...uled-out-of-Christmas-programme-due-to-injury
Thought there was something about if he plays more than a certain number og games in a calendar year then millions more are owed to Sunderland or something like that?
Still got this feeling that Frank Lumplard is inbound. Not ITK just a feeling/relation to Arry/London/Short term. Plus we all get to see his 'horse mrs'!
I believe that once he's played 50 league games for Villa, they owe Sunderland another £6m (it was £18m rising to £24m on appearances). I don't think it was a coincidence that he played in the league cup!?? He'd be a great signing but would Villa let him join a relegation rival? Also, if you were him would you join us? I can't see him being offered the money (£80k a week) he's on at Villa plus, unless TF is totally mad, he'd need to sign a contract that lowers his wages if we are relegated. Think this has got Liverpool written all over it, probably with Downing going back in the deal.
All in the family? 'Arry knows best?

I think Bent is past his best and now injury-prone, THAT more than anything, as well as the financial liabilty, is probably why he is being frozen out. It's a shame for him as at his best he was a tremendous finisher, I remember him scoring a hat-trick against us in a pre-season friendly against Charlton years ago and he was different class...
