I don't see how selling Bent makes us a "selling club" - he requested a transfer in the Summer and we turned him down (if we were a selling club would we not have sold him then??)

We sold him when he was ouot of form and looked completely disinterested.

Henderson on the other hand produces 100% profit (and no doubt a sell on clause as well) as he came through the ranks. I didn't want him to go but he was poor in the second half of the season and looked jaded (needed a rest mnore than anything) - has played 75 times from 76 league games over 2 seasons I think and is still not even 21 - says a lot


and what reason did he give for his transfer request, nothing to do with a managers daughter no doubt?
 
Can somebody tell me where the £13 million & £7 million valuations have come from?

All I have seen on SSN is a £20 million pound deal. No hendo value & No n'gog value.

I'm with poolie on this one. Lets give him a chance. IF he gets a run in the team in his favoured position. Re: goals 9 in 63, 54 were as a sub.
Campbell & Welbeck were both w*nk when they arrived and were bit players & were played out of position. They both came good.
 
Positive's? Ok some like to say 9 goal's in 3 year, I will be positive again and say 8 goal's last season while barely playing.

I'll trump your positiveness with my negativeness he scored 3 of those against Macedonian goat herders in the Europa league. He then scored another 2 against Bucharest (not a bad team if I'm honest) again Europa league. So that leaves 3 left, 1 against Arsenal (very good) 1 against Northampton and 1 against us (who doesn't score against us?).
Still going to give him the benefit though he has the customary 3 months to prove my negativeness misguided.
