My old Foreman reckons Liam Prynn who with have signed from Torquay Utd will be a bit special. It's early days yet but good luck to the lad.
Liam Prynn played for a local village team on my patc and is supposed to be a cracking prospect Im told by folk from his village of Constantine

I wouldn't be shocked if he is homesick - having just spent a week in Port Navas
Good point, D.Boy you are a lucky man living in that part of the world. I'd miss it too if I'd have to move.

Just saw Kinnear on SS saying they had agreed a deal with Bents agents and were waiting on Aston Villa but another club is now showing an interest in him.

Yeah, saw that. Joe looks a lot more aged in HD...don't we all, I guess. He mentioned that there were clubs "around the country" interested in him, so maybe more than Fulham which will help push the price up.


Maybe Joe is just using Bent's name to try and get a cheaper deal for Loic Remy

I'm surprised Kinnear could remember and pronounce a name as complex as 'Bent'

Well he did ask if he was still going down that fancy dress shop.

I'm amazed that there aren't 7 or 8 clubs in for bent at £6million (if we're lead to believe correctly). Aside from the clubs already mentioned, he'd represent an absolute bargain for Norwich, Cardiff, Stoke and S'oton. I even think he'd score a shed-load of goals for a club like Liverpool, with service from the likes of Gerrard, Coutinho and (dare I say it) Downing.

I think the club are quite confident that the asking price will eventually be met.

Personally, I think he may be a busted flush.

I've no evidence for this, but his injuries may have had affected him a lot more than is let on. If true, I don't imagine the club or player are going to want it shouted from the rooftops.

I completely agree, I said to my brother just the other day that Liverpool should go in for him. It's a no brainier for me.

I sincerely hope he's a busted flush because the greatest fear about selling a player like Bent is that the goals he'll score for his new club will put them above us in the table.

Aside from his injuries, having a year of playing very little competitive football won;t have been good for his sharpness.

Confirmed by their chairman or owner yesterday on SSN. It wasn't Simon Jordan but he had the same floppy hair and tan as him.

If I am a owner of weak team or promoted team or Liverpool I would gone for Bent and Defoe to lead the attack and it will 11 millions pounds for 2 proven England Internationals, that if I don't have quality strikers already.

That's why I want him at Liverpool, we won't be passing them yet even if they are getting shitter.

Worked well at Tottenham, I must say.
