Darren Bent

Wine however...

OK. It's shit now everything is shit. i don't like the weather, don't like football...I just hate everything.

Is that enough?

[olaftab]

I can confirm Legion is going to have an accident.

Did he survive?

[DrGonzo]

I think Carroll would be a better fit for us than Bent is, if we got him and a nice cash sum, did someone say £15 mill??, of which we could spend say £10 mill then maybe.

Darren Bent doesn't strike me as the most loyal of players. I'd also say with how we are as a club, who's in charge, and our style of play, we'll be better off having a striker who works harder, and probably one with more physical presence. We're not supplying Bent enough, and thus he's not proving useful enough to justify what we paid. Sell for a profit and use that to go towards adding 2-3 decent players to make our squad just about the bare minimum of what's needed to compete in the top half of the table. If we still had Houllier in charge (can't believe I'm saying this) then we'd be getting the best out of Benty. Right now he's mostly been a liability IMO.

Anyway, there's probably better shops in Liverpool.

I'd rather play Gabby up top on his own. I'd also make it part of the deal, that they have to take Heskey with Bent.

It still amazes me that DOL seems the only person that's ever been found guilty of this sort of thing.

It really shouldn't. He's the only person to stupid enough to admit to doing it.

Sad but true.

Pretty much how I see it.

Bent is a limited player in terms of what he is capable of, and I'd prefer a more technically gifted and skillful player over Bent any day of the week, but we bought him last winter to contribute goals to steer us clear from relegation and that is exactly what is needed for the second half of this season.

There are much better players out there than Bent so if we sell him in the summer then I really wont be bothered as long as his fee is substantial enough to replace him with someone better plus funds for additional players, however the timing is completely wrong to sell him now.

Bent would be brilliant at say arsenal , he would score 25 prem goals a season , at the moment with Villa , he is looking like Luke Moore.

I appalled myself by thinking "Darren Bent is wasted with us" when I read that JP
Then I saw the terrible truth of it...

Ha ha! Same here. Frankly, the stat about Bent having fewest touches in the Prem still disturbs the shit out of me.

[Matt Collins]

Darren Bent would never get in the Arsenal side. Can you imagine their one touch football working with his cumbersome first touch? Not me.

[Mazrim]

Bent had issues of racism at Sunderland. I dont think he'd want to go to the Scouse reich.

You have to think it would make him think twice wouldn't you?

I think the stick he gets for his work rate and first touch is incredible too, considering how brilliant he was for us last season when we played to his strengths.

The 100,000 a week would make it more palatable.

I don't think they'd care about that if he scored 20+ goals a season. Which he would if he was given the service.
