[KevinGage]

SSN Yellow ticker thingy.

[KevinGage]

We've offered £18 million upfront rising to £24 million apparently.

18m for Bent!!!!! cant belive it

[KevinGage]

Wonder if it's players + cash or straight deal.

Have to assume it's purely cash as no other players were mentioned.

[l_mckay]

the bloke on sky never mentioned any players,must be straight cash.

I am not having BENT on the back of my shirt !!   

[Risso]

Well fuck my old boots.  I owe the board a few apologies if this is true.  And Mazrim.

[Dave Cooper please]

If this happens it will be fantastic, only problem is we may have alerted other clubs to him being available

And this also means that Houllier will be in charge no matter what happens until the end of the season.

We had the chance to buy him 2 years ago for £10M - MON failed to follow up his initial interest. Now it'll cost us double that if the rumours are true! Mind you, he is a proven goalscorer we need. 32 goals in 58 games seems a good ratio to me.

[PaulTheVillan]

I've never doubted Randy Lerner.

I wouldn't have trusted MON with £18m.

[Mazrim]

Well fuck my old boots.  I owe the board a few apologies if this is true.  And Mazrim.

Not at all old boy. Just rejoice and be happy.

[Risso]

I've never doubted Randy Lerner.

I wouldn't have trusted MON with £18m.

What a shame we didn't get him when he was going for £12m.

[l_mckay]

anyone think if this happens, Ashley young might think about staying??
