skysports say Sky Sources reveal Fulham made improved offer for Darren Bent today. Let hope it will spark other teams into action.
Just seen that. I think that a move to Fulham is a good move for him, should it happen.
The offer apparently is £5m ...

Charlie Austin signs for qpr
These have nothing at all to do with Villa.

Villa are doing nothing at the moment so hardly surprising people are meandering to other transfers in here.

agreed and tell people to stop victimising me i had to trwal through pointless bale and soldado news !!! People going on about spurs transfers ...Austin was linked to villa i was merely stating that hes moved. why someone else starts to have a go at me when speople post about bale and soldao is annoying and upsetting !!

He's still worth a couple of more million than that at least.

I think Lambert would be more inclined to give one of our up-and-coming young strikers (Burke, Robinson, Drennan, etc) a go, before paying money for one.

Yes that would be good to include one of these in more first team match action game time..i like this. Also regarding other great young players we have( im confused if i can type this here but) i want to shout out for GG and hope he gets game time this season can go onto big things

Nobody is victimising you. Look back over the last few pages, the issue is something that has been discussed with numerous people.

At the start of the summer I was thnking £10m and would reluctantly take £8m.  As it stands now, we'll do well to get the £6m.

And I think we've already replaced him in Helenius.

We have and we don't need 4 out-and-out strikers with a 3 up front as we use wide forwards.

Our problem with Bent is that only Fulham seem seriously interested. Unless you count Joe Kinnear's cheeky cockney offer of a bottle of Newcastle brown and a tip for a dead cert at Romford.

Yeah, I'm surprised no-one else is in for him, must be the wages. As play the right way, he will score goals - his record speaks for itself, loads of clubs would benefit having him e.g. Cardiff.

The trouble for Benty is that more and more sides now are playing a more modern brand of football which almost makes his game obsolete. There aren't that many options open to him, not as many as you think so for his sake I hope the Fulham deal goes through, because it'll be his last Premier league move. Not many clubs will gamble 80k a week for a player who may contribute 10-20 goals if he stays fit, but possibly in the long run, to the detriment of the team as a whole. His fitness record and age aren't helping. If we get 5-6 we'll have done alright. The main thing is getting those wages off the book. I don't look at it like taking an enormous hit on a player we payed up to 24 mill for. Not in this case, because Benty proved his worth by playing a key role in us staying up two years running.
