I think they'll cash in if it means they can get someone they really want in.

Worrying for us that could be either Zamora or Carlton Cole

Cashing in and opting for one of those two would be the biggest sign yet that Lerner has lost interest and just wants his money back.

It sure does.  Maybe he does want money back due to his divorce and with his ex probably demanding half of everything (finances that is).
Its interesting what Eck has said about selling Bent in the Sunderland Echo:-
"I'm not willing to sell anybody at the moment but you don't know what will happen,"
Clear indication that if a big enough bid comes in, he wil cash in on him

Keep him.

Play better football.

Bent isn't the problem.

From what I've heard Bent is going to Liverpool without fail.

I basically agree with you but am struggling to think of any players who have got back to their best after suffering failed-big-money-move-to-big-club syndrome.

Bergkamp, Van der Sar, Thierry Henry and Scott Parker?  Even Maradona fluffed his lines at Barca.

I remember watching Bergkamp at Inter on C4 all these years ago,it never happened for him there. Though its a bone of contention now,Bent rebuilt his career after his tough time at Spurs.

Twitter, presumably.

That's where everything comes from nowadays.

If Bent goes I will be massively pissed off. It will be the final nail in the coffin in terms of showing how alarmingly this club is declining.

I've never thought Bent will leave but just seen Sky reporting we're interested in Cole from West Ham and Liverpool are interested in Bent. I dont think the media rumours will go away until the transfer window closes.

I nearly possted this a few weeks ago as a horrible joke .    ffs   . Cole in Bent out .     25,000 crowds to come

If it is(and I stress if) Bent out and Cole in, then Randy may as well put the club up for sale. It will show just how clueless the leadership of the club really are.

If Bent goes I'm not spending any more money on the club and AMC might has well hand in his notice now because he is the one going to take the flack every week for it even if it has nothing to do with him.
