Herd and Bent fallout?

[olaftab]

I can't believe we have got 3 pages out of trivial nonsense.

I have heard that Gabby detests Bent. Could he have been tampering with his missus as well?
No smoke without fire.

Which one? (wink)

[Mazrim]

I really hope we're not seeing the start of a witch hunt against Bent. A player I think still has a potentially massive part to play for us.

That said, the understanding Gabby and Benteke are forming is very encouraging. I was delighted to see Gabby anticipating Benteke winning the header and actually pointing to where he wanted the header put, then moving to that place and scoring.
The only thing stopping Gabby becoming truly lethal is his understanding of movement.

Maz it is in full swing.

And you are spot on re Gabby. If he had the ability Bent has to find space and be in the right place, he would be lethal. Bent will go, and score a lot of goals for another side, but I will be grateful for him for the 9 in 13 that kept us up after his arrival. They were priceless, and showed how good a finisher he is given the opportunities.

I think he wants to leave, and lambert is resigned to him going. Not saying that is a good thing, but I don't know how else to read it.

Anfield bound. Can't see any other explanation.

On 5 Live match report yesterday, when talking about additional strikers required at Anfield, specifically said that Bent would not fit in with Rodgers style of play.

I heard that. Some scouser from The Times talking about Liverpool's problems as if we all needed to rally round to help them through this difficult time.

[N'ZMAV]

I wonder how committed Bent is to us at the moment?

[N'ZMAV]

Darren Bent isn't that good a footballer. Which is why a 'top 4' (pass the bucket) side hasn't invested in him. Long gone are the days where an average footballer (Andy Cole) can get in a top side and do well. Managers expect more total football type strikers these days. Sideways move for Bent is the best he can hope for.

That happens every time that they are in the doldrums. They would have been passing the collection tins round now if it didn't clash with Poppy fortnight.

Apparently by reading this I note that he is committed to a number of local girls so that should be enough to heep him here plus £80K per week.

Cant see  Rodgers going for him.  He will be be a  save us signing for QPR for £25M I hope.

Can't see it. Rodgers wants team players who can fit in to his philosophy. Unless he totally panics and can't think of anyone else to sign.

[Concrete John]

I'm coming round to the idea of selling him and couldn't care less where he goes.
