Swansea will probably sign Kenwyne Jones. If he doesn't get greedy, Stoke will also sell Crouch. Maybe this will mean Bent goes to Stoke, or Swansea?

Cant really see bent fitting in at stoke- a lot of highball up and under stuff - dont think he would be suited.

They went for Michael Owen though didn't they. I can see this having legs. Lets face it, he'd doing bugger all for us so we may as well cash in

Also I think he'd get decent service from Etherington and Pennant.

I can. They have Etherington and Kightly, who whilst aren't Ronaldo and Messi are decent wingers. I think a partnership of Bent and either of Crouch and Jones could work with wingers supplying them.

He is better suited to their system than what Lambert seems to want to play.

Pete Colley says Bent is staying apparently.

Would only happen if crouch goes but yes he had a good partnership with jones on wearside.

Good review of Sylla from Houllier, sounds promising.

From the man who signed some absolute turds at Liverpool, and Makoun at Villa?  I'm worried.

Yeah, I guess Crouch is worth more than Jones so that would make sense.

The pendulum seems to have swung to 'Bent staying' though.

A bit harsh. He also signed good players at Liverpool and won a truckload of silverware with them. Also, Makoun was hardly used as Houllier fell ill before really getting a chance to build his team. He was after some players who have gone on to be very good indeed so maybe we shouldnt write off what he has to say.

He's signed some decent players as well, and by and large knows French football.

What exactly did he say?
