villa4europe Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Sunderland fans not happy by this, its about time we did it to another club.. i'm sick of tired of it happening to us, just hope it goes through. Very much this, im actually amazed at how many fans from other clubs are suggesting hes moving for money because sunderland are a bigger club than us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daft Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 RTG does make me laugh As well as some so called safc supporters 9:19 AM Jan 9th via ÜberTwitter Just a note: He reads the message boards of the clubs he goes to (RTG is ReadyToGo - Sunderland message boards) I dont think its at all a real reason but some Sunderland fans are suggesting his reasons for leaving are: a) Gyan Newcastle fans smashing his car in c) Nobheads on Message boards Disclaimer: I think its because we're going to win the league and he knows it. Eeek, let's hope he doesn't read VT then. He'll be off before he's even played a bad game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJay Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 He's a real off the shoulder of the defender player, very intelligent in getting into space very different to what we've got would be a brilliant signing. Always rated him great goalscorer at every club he's been at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellyoakvilla Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 How confident are the ITKs that this will actually get done, also any truth in the 'having a medical today' rumours?? No medical today unless we agree contract and terms in the next few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Have we actually agreed a FEE? As there are many sites saying we have and many just going with the transfer request so its all just confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Excited by the prospect of Bent, very ambitious by the management and board, something MON would never do. His goals will be vital, assuming everything goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 17, 2011 Moderator Share Posted January 17, 2011 A not-so-positive article Black Cats to reject £18m offer for star striker Bent DARREN BENT has stunned Sunderland by handing in a transfer request – with Aston Villa making an £18m bid for the England striker. But Sunderland will reject that offer out of hand and, as a result, Bent is not believed to be in the West Midlands for talks, as has been reported elsewhere. The Black Cats paid £12m to sign Bent from Spurs 18 months ago in a deal that could eventually rise to £16m and, after he scored 24 Premier League goals last term and forced his way back into the England set-up, there is no way Sunderland will let him leave for £18m. By Sunderland’s reckoning, Bent’s value has at least doubled in his time on Wearside. Bent is understood to have handed in his transfer request within two hours of yesterday’s Wear-Tyne derby draw at the Stadium of Light. And any hopes he had of forcing a quick sale have been dashed by the huge gap between Sunderland’s valuation and Villa’s offer. If Villa and Sunderland do not reach a deal, it will leave Bent in an awkward situation and he will have a lot of bridges to rebuild with the fans.

dappadan Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 It seems the £18m bid was rejected and the improved offer of £18m rising to £24m and Bent handing in transfer request might be what Sunderland are willing to accept? This is what I can gather reading between the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted January 17, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2011 I think at this minute every article is just complete guesswork. I bet fees and terms are being discussed between the two clubs as we speak so... no one really has any clue whats going on at this moment in time.
