    Felix Magath announced that Bent wasn't used against Everton because he wasn't fit.

    Bent Tweeted that he was.

    Looks like he'll be on his travels again, but surely that's his lot in the Premier League now, regardless of whether or not he stays at Fulham?

    MLS maybe? Could easily follow Defoe.

    He's still a Villa player so heading back to the West Mids in the summer.

    He found his comfort zone after big money signings and England caps - no motivation now.

    Just checked - He signed for Villa in Jan 2011 for £18m.

    Can't believe he'll be out of contract this summer and can leave on a free.....

    Which is why I suggested MLS.

    He'd be class there.

    £18m was ****ing madness in the first place.

    can't believe that some of you ****s were hoping to snag him to come to City last summer.

    I mustve posted a dozen times, that would never happen after the way Bent left Bruce at Sunlan.

    Yep. Check out the Stoke match thread. Some proper moaning poodles on there and he's the biggest of the lot.

    yeah, I know but ****s sake.
    his wage demands would be sky high.
    think he would be best doing a Defoe and crossing the pond

    Yeah, I think that was the general consensus at the time.

    MLS or Championship.

    perfect fit for DQPR as they enjoy another aspirational season in the Champ.

    Scored goals in the PL wherever he's been, still only 30, capable of scoring at this level for a while yet imo.

    His problem has been the move towards playing 1 striker up front, as Bent plays off the shoulder of a CB and looks to get in behind and will invariably finish. What he's not great at is holding the ball up and linking up play, as he's an out an out striker.

    I don't know why he's been shunned at Fulham, makes no sense, as they've got **** all up front.

    Yeah, he's a good scorer, but I guess Fulham need people who are gonna get stuck in.

    Mind you, given the situation they're in right now, you'd think he'd be worth chucking in.

    If he's on big money and his contract is still running at Villa, they will be lucky to get him off their wage bill.
