Transfer Speculation / Gossip

None of those players will be missed.

They won't amount to more than £2 million between them if we manage to sell either unfortunately.

There's been a few suggestions in the papers that Darren Bent is going to get a reprieve and isn't among those 7-8 in the brand spanking new Bomb squad. If that's the case I'm quite pleased. I'd much rather keep Benty on than sign a duffer like Bendtner.
Bents pace may have gone but his movement in the box and eye for goal will still be there. As Klose proves, as long as the service comes, and those instincts are there, a poacher will always grab you goals.

If we concentrate on midfield and fullbacks now, and sort out the supply line, perhaps we'll get a few goals out of the likes of Bent, Kozak, and Weimann (provided he plays through the middle).

If Kozak isn't going to be ready for a few months, then having Bent in there makes sense.

Wow that's depressing . And Andy Marshall is back.

Don't think it's depressing. None of them are any good

I still think Bennett deserves a chance - he was playing well by the end of 12-13 season (as was Sylla) and was injured for much of last season.
He, and the others in the sale provide cover if nothing else at the moment. If they all went off to Championship clubs next week it would weaken an already weak squad. But there's no doubt that some of them need to go.
Clark/Baker at left back?

We desperately need a few more midfield options more than anything else!

Pete Colley's tweeted that Villa have told him Bendnter's not coming. This must be the second bit of good news that Delph alluded to.

Hope this is true, he'd just be another addition to the wage bill with no benefit to the team.

Agreed. He'd want a fortune. He's an arse. He's shite. He never scores. Worst of all, judging by his Twitter page, he's a Robbie Williams fan.

Bullet dodged. (Hopefully)

Let's hope we have no regrets.

He's only score once in a Millennium

Seeing as our three senior left backs are on that list, they will be missed if they aren't replaced!!

[Clampy]

What list is this? One that a newspaper tells us exists?

Goodbye, the Bomb Squad but hello, the bigger Bomb Squad.

I'm worried about the bomb squad. I don't think we've got anything like enough cover if one of them was to get injured. With N'Zogbia, Hutton and Bent being shipped-out, it's now desperately light in terms of quality. I can't believe Lambert hasn't looked at moving Westwood or delph across as cover yet.

I am having cold sweats thinking about Baker and Senderos when Vlaar has gone "marshalling" the back line.

I bet Baker can take a penalty though.

[ozzjim]

Ah great. 8-1 instead of 8-0 then.
