Darren Bent joins Fulham on loan (Reply #486)

[ez]

We were lucky to have him. I dare say we would have been playing championship football had we not signed him. I wish him well.

[The Man With A Stick]

Good luck to him wherever he ends up, apart from when they play us obviously.  Hope he doesn't end up at Stoke, he can do a bit better than that.

[richtheholtender]

We should replace him with Oscar Cardozo.

[El Hurricane]

Surely this is lazy journalism of the highest order, if Martin Samuel and Henry Winter are at the top of the journalists tree than Darren Lewis is at the bottom.

You're right that he can do better than that, i can also seeing it being something that could happen,with them being a meat and two veg kind of team.

[pauliewalnuts]

Bent was apparently keen on a move to Galatasaray the window before he joined us.

[SoccerHQ]

The great 'if only' player of recent years. If only we'd signed him instead of Heskey.

Good luck Darren.

Yes certainly, should've been signed sometime in 2009.

I wish him all the best at his new club, will probably score a goal or two past us next season but in our current system, our current trio upfront fit it much better.

Edit: Can see him ending up at Fulham (if Berbatov leaves) or West Ham as he'll probably be 10m cheaper than Carroll.

[Meanwood Villa]

If he is to go, which looks likely, it'd be nice to say goodbye on Sun. Of course him signing off with a hat-trick would be even nicer!

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

He did what we bought him for, but now his game doesn't suit ours, so let him go and get a fair whack of money.

Thanks for what you did Darren, but I will shout abuse at you when you inevitably score against us.

[eamonn]

He has clearly shown a good attitude and I bet he's turned down lots of requests from newspaper reporters in the last few months for interviews so as not to rock the boat but now we're safe he's having his say and being respectful about it. Ideally we would keep him and he could be accommodated somehow. Can't see it happening now, sadly.

Name change imminent this summer, CBBB? Who/what will you go for? 

[Concrete John]

Not a shock and not a great loss due to the way we play under Lambert.  It'll be interesting to see what we get for him, but wherever he does go will get a good goal scorer.

stick eke at the end of Bent and he can keep the initials as is

[manic-road]

Good luck to him wherever he goes, I personally think quite a few clubs would like to buy him as he's an out and out goal scorer and they are a bit of a rarity for the majority of clubs in the Prem.

"Can Tekkers Be Bettered".  Very catchy.
