Isn't Mertens the one that PL was originally considered signing, went to scout him and saw Benteke? We were linked with a forward last season who apparently had a rather large ego - was that Mertens?

According to The Express, Fulham have placed a bid for bid Bent. And want him for less than £5m. Silly season really has arrived.

Now with added link:

Presumably that's an opening bid and not their final offer.

Wasn't it Jelle Vossen at Genk?

No way should we let Bent go for that. Stoke have been known to pay over the odds. Fulham got more than that for Bobby Zamora I believe, and he's older and more injury prone than Bent, with not nearly the track record.

I'm sure there will be takers and there should be a bidding war. I'd expect more like 8 million, possibly a little more if we're lucky.

Mertens is very highly rated. That would be an exciting link.

Sell him to Stoke, or we can swap him for N'Zonzi and Shawcross.

What a lazy frontline that would be Bent & Berbatov, would also be a goal threat, but certainly not team players.  £5m is taking the piss, must be double that surely?

It's an obvious link really, Fulham need another striker as Rodallega has failed and Jol was his manager at Spurs.

I think he'll end up there or West Ham if they don't sign Carroll.

We wont get more than 8m for Bent. Bare in mind it's pubic knowledge he wants out, and that we're happy to let him go.

Well maybe, but he did fantastic work sponsoring lower league football. Didn't he sponsor West ham once?

He makes Nigel Reo Coker look like Andrea Pirlo.
