Bent a bargain?

[kippaxvilla2]

Carroll fee agreed - £35m!!!!  And Suaraz has agreed terms and Adam is going there.  Scouse twats.

I'd have taken 1xBent & 1xMakoun plus £12m left over rather than spunking £35m on Carroll any day of the window!! Yes he may have a bright future ahead of him but is he really worth £12m more than the 3rd highest scoring prem player of the last half decade and a seasoned CL/WC experienced International midfielder? I don't think so!

What gets me is all the media were saying how we overpaid for Bent, and his fee is quoted at £24m not £18m.

However, I've had the radio on all day today and everyone seems to think it is perfectly normally for Liverpool to make Andy Carroll (6th months in Prem and comes with A LOT of baggage) the 7th most expensive deal in world football....EVER!!!!??

[kippaxvilla2]

The thing I actually like about this window is that we set the bar for fees.  And good old Liverpool have obliged by paying this obscene amount of money on one player not yet actually fully proven.

Bent is worth every penny of his transfer fee, based on what he does and what he has been doing for 5 years not on potential. He's just coming into his prime years for a striker and is alongside Robbie Fowler in the "PL all-time" on his goals per game strike-rate, better than Ronaldo, Tevez, Rooney, Berbatov etc... Only a dozen players have a better strike rate since the start of the PL.

If the geordies are convinced that carrol is worth 35 million then i think we can convince them to take beye back for at least 4 million hey we could even throw in salifou as the sweatner

[theleftside]

it's all well and good but if carroll scores 15-20 prem goals per season over next few years and bent struggles into double figures then who is the better buy....bent aint going to be a bargin if he don't score!

we worry about our own lot they can worry about there's!!!!! (and they will torres for carroll with "only" 15m diffrence plus they paid 25m for torres!!)

Don't have a problem with it at all.

If they still want Ashley Young in the summer the price is now 75 million of your English pounds.

[Chipsticks]

Bent was always a bargain in my eye, or at least the standard price you can expect to pay for a 20-goal-a-season striker.
