Nobody seems very "Keane" on him do they? Throw in a few butter chicken dishes + a few bob and its a done deal.
That's their fourth signing already Ensil, but with the way that they dropped off in the second half of last season, I'm not surprised. They were dire.
They set up their side to play to Bent's strengths and then he ****ed off! Ungracious twat. I think that they've made some interesting signings so far, though it'll be interesting to see how they work out. Wickham's still very young and relatively unproven, Larsson shows some ability but is a bit erratic and Westwood's highly rated but Mignolet looked pretty impressive and they've still got Gordon. Isn't Gardner a holding midfielder? Could Cattermole be on the way out? I don't think that some fans have appreciated Gardner's Keane-isms, judging by his wiki page! "The Multi-Supporting Money Grabbing ****er signed a three year deal with Sunderland for an undisclosed fee rumoured to be around 6m on 30 June 2011. Gardner said he was a lifelong Birmingham City supporter. He had previously claimed (while playing for Aston Villa) to have been a Villa fan since childhood. He recently claimed after signing for Sunderland that he grew up supporting Sunderland and is a life long fan. Craig has stated that moving to sunderland will be a great stepping stone to Newcastle a club that he was brought up with and is a life long fan."
I don't think that Sunderland wanted to sell him, but they probably feared another Twitter rant, Ensil! I actually had some sympathy for the twat until that point, but his childishness and utterly unprofessional demeanour has shone through ever since. Please don't mention the claret and blue parrot on here. He's effectively dead, so let's not resurrect him. Having said that, I don't think that the HL profile would last a day on here. Some of his others, though...
At £24mm, or whatever, I can't imagine Sunderland were that upset. I just don't understand why Bent thought a move to Villa was a step up. Must have been the money, as usual.
Can you really see McLeish(sp) getting anything let alone the best out of Bent or anybody at Villa. I would say that they are relegation fodder so let's find Holte just to rub it in.
