Darren Bent joining Brighton on loan

[Toronto Villa]

He's done pretty much everything that could be asked of him down there, so I wonder if somebody near the top of the Championship might fancy throwing a million or two at us for him in January.

He'd be perfect in the Championship for a team looking for that final push. Not often you get one of PL's best ever goalsscorers available. He needs a run of games in a team that work around him and just get him the ball in areas where he is lethal. Championship level defenders won't always have the required level of awareness so he can take advantage. His time is past with us and did the business when we most needed it. I wish him the best in finding an Indian summer to his career.

I think we'd be looking at closer to a million than two to be honest, if that. We may decide just to give him up early for next to nowt like Ireland.

As he is out of contract in the summer, and he is still going to want to pick up decent wages, I doubt we'd get much for him from a Championship club. If he leaves in Jan I reckon there is a good chance it will be on a free.

Even if we end up paying 50-75% of his wages that's still going to be the at least the equivalent of another Sanchez or Okore's wages freed up (if the rumoured £65K/week was true)

[MoetVillan]

I doubt he would even start at Blackpool at the moment

He's used "Super excited", "hey guys" and bought half and half scarf's. He should not only have be thrown out for being a Brummie Red twat, but he should also have been put in stocks so people could pelt the whopper.

He sounds like the Arsenal fan out of the Fast Show.

I appreciate we've wasted a lot of money and Bent looks like he has practically retired these days, but that's pretty harsh on him

I can see someone taking a punt on him in January. Leicester? Palace?

[lovejoy]

If they do I hope we are savvy enough to make it a loan then go permanent so he can't score against us.
