January Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

Selling Bent would be pure folly.

Lamberts getting nothing out of him though.he will be sotting on the bench under lambert.
To keep bent you must give him service.

One more to come in.

We want £10m for Bent. If that happens we could get a couple more.

Bent in part ex for a stoke player would be an option though - they want £5m for crouch , uncle arry is stalling.

Has it been said why Crouch actually wants to move again?
If I'd been replaced with Adebeyour at Spurs by Arry,
I think I'd take my chance to pay him back and stay put.

Straight swap Darren Bent for Nzonzi.

Sorry but that's a none starter, Nzonzi is the best midfielder we've (Stoke) had for a long time Charlie Adam however....

[Mazrim]

Bent for Shawcross

Would work in my book. N'zonzi is not convincing at all.
Stoke wouldn't let Shawcross leave unless we threw money at it as well I reckon. Still, why not ask?

Harrys had him a  few times!

I would'nt be looking to let anyone go, we need to add to the squad.

[Somebody_Told_Me]

Would you be happy to let Bent go?

If so what would be the lowest fee you resonably expect??

Have f*ckin' Sky Sports News filmed Jim White entering the building like last window? Jesus.

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.

He also brought in Bent and Kyle Walker and he wanted Cabaye before he had to leave.

The 02/03 transfers for Houllier:

Bruno Cheyrou Lille
Anthony Le Tallec
Florent Sinama Pongolle
Alou Diarra B Munich 
Salif Diao

This is the man who paid £10m for Diouf, and £5m for Igor Biscan.  75% of his transfers were absolute garbage, and expensive garbage at that.

Hes tucking into a haggis sandwich at the moment.

Looks like Sylla is now signed on his twitter he's holding up a Villa shirt for official photo.

Not yet but it's only a matter of time. That really was desperate stuff.

[Greg N'Ash]

I'd keep Bent if only because Lambchop won't be here for ever, and when Benteke and co get flogged we'll need a 15 goal a season striker in the championship. Just because the current manager is too clueless to play to his strengths, doesn't mean the next guy will

Salif Diao was immense for us (in the championship mind you) helped form the platform that gained promotion and keep us there. (oh and Lee Hendrie on loan ;-)
