Bent cant play with Benteke, Benteke is better and will play all available games. Bent is too expensive to be a non-playing sub hence loan him out.

Precisely.

Why can't Bent play with Benteke?  What does one striker being better than the other have to do with anything?  Its about a partneship.  Now I can't say for sure that the pairing would work, but that is because they have never been tried.  And like I said before Bent coming back in would just be a short term, needs most thing.  And like someone else said we could even just considering making him an impact sub option.  Don't forget for whatever reason CB is not pulling up any trees right now.

Grant Holt, you say? Worth a sneaky bid?

Thank god he's on the long term injury list.

Obesity?

With 31 in 68 league games, isn't Benteke our "most prolific striker"?

Yes and he also makes others play better.  Not denaying how crucial he is.  Just saying that he needs a bit of support.

Bent and Benteke together was the partnership when Benteke first signed. It didn't seem to work, so we started on the front three that worked so well at the end of that season and now seems tired. But I don't see how something that didn't work two years ago is likely to be better at this point now that half of it is older, slower and larger.

And we've also tried Bent as an impact sub this season. And it didn't work.

Do we still official still own Holt I'd completly lost track of him?
We've never owned Holt.

Well maybe but I don't remember them starting that often together.  I guess I would go with Weinmann along side Benteke or playing off him before Bent.  Its just that I don't see Lambert going down that route exempt in the odd game.

The speed and bluntness of that official denial speaks volumes.

Just what I was thinking! It just seems like a life time ago now and was such a pointless bit of biz than I just couldn't remember if we'd signed him and then decided to loan him out here, there, and everywhere, or if it was a loan all along...

I believe that Huddersfield own him.

Or Wigan still own him and loaned him there.

Translation - He is up North somewhere.

Somewhere he can get pies easily and far enough away from us.

He was on loan there.  Nasty cruciate injury that required surgery so he's back at Wigan.
