I know it's Randy's money. But I am pooing my pants a bit.

It's so much money, I'm pooing Randy's pants for him.

I'm opening up a specialist laundry service.

Twenty four million pounds. Aston Villa are spending twenty four million pounds on a single player. Twenty fucking four million pounds.

Say it quietly - if he finds out it might just finish poor Doug off!

Who is Timothy Abrahams and why are we assuming that his figure is the correct one?

He could have easily just lifted it from that error-strewn Telegraph article.

And its only Darren Bent. maybe Randy's thinking is it is worth that much to ensure that we don't go down. Pay what it takes and then we'll take it from there next summer. I doubt we'll be that busy in the next transfer windws in terms of players coming in.

Colonel Abrahams has just issued a statement alleging that he is trapped, like a man in a cage.

Bringing all of my many years of accountancy training to bear on that, I can confirm that that is an awful lot of money.

Has David Craig surfaced today on SSN to play everything down and try and talk the fee up ?
They had Craig David on talking about his favourite ice cream flavour, he then gave his opinion on Darren Bent saying it would be tied up in 'seven days.'

He always gets excited during the transfer re-rewindow.

Former Sunderland striker Kevin Phillips believes Darren Bent's demand for a move away from the Stadium of Light is motivated by "pure money".

Phillips, 37, who now plays for Birmingham, spent six years on Wearside from 1997 to 2003.
"I'm very surprised. If you are asking me, I think it just boils down to pure money," Phillips told BBC Radio 5 live.
