if we rate him enough we should offer bannan, plus nathan and maybe 2 millions for him to Palace after completing deal for bent then we only got to get rid of Given, ireland and N'Zog.
 

The price for Bent should be £6m, or £4m if you take Ireland as well.

No, we'll give them £4m to take Ireland.

or 5 million for Ireland, Bannan, Bent, Hutton, Given and Nathan.

I'm hoping we've got a 30-game dossier on Malaga's Polish number 19.

Looks good. Cheap alternative to Kiyote perhaps?

I've raved about him on both the Malaga and Luna threads. Tore us apart and he's only 20 (21 in a few months).

Eagles boss Ian ­Holloway hopes to hijack Fulham’s bid to land out-of-favour Bent from Aston Villa as he looks to recruit a ­proven Premier League goalscorer ahead of ­Palace’s return to the ­top flight.

The Londoners have agreed ­personal terms with Bent, 29, and are now hoping that Villa will lower their £6million asking price so that a deal can be done.

Bent, who has made four moves, totalling £47m, since starting his career at Ipswich, was banished to the Villa Park sidelines for long periods last ­season after falling out of favour.

As I said on Twitter, why agree terms if you can't afford the fee? If you don't want to pay our asking price, then don't waste Bent's time!

I think that's the way transfers are done these days - ask to talk to player, agree personal terms, do the purchase deal.

Why should we sell Bent to a half-arsed manager who used to be famous?

[neo_Villan]

I suppose so. It's Bent I feel sorry for though. Getting his hopes up that a move is imminent, only to piss about with the fee.

I would just love someone involved with the club to come out and publicly state this line word for word.

Didn't another manager do that a couple of seasons' ago? ... some gobby short-arse from Blackpool, IIRC.

Nah, I must be mistaken.
