bannedfromHandV Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 £5M too much IMO but needs must I guess, thanks largely to MoN. Kinda puts a spanner into the works of all the whinging muppets on here though eh?!? Ooo we don't have any money, Lerner's hearts not in it, Houllier's gonna make a load of dodgy foreign signings, woe is us oooo the worlds gonna end........maybe time to give it a rest now eh folks?

granto Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Villa talk in meltdown, took me ten minutes to open this. Get in there. Surely worth it if he does the business rather than the mediocre bench warmers bought previously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denaldinho Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 OK, i believe that there is only one reason he wants to come, its closer to london, with a fat pay cheque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Darren Bent has yet to agree personal terms and pass a medical at #AVFC so keep calm. He is said to be in Birmingham at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 SSN saying that the bid is 18M rising to £24M. Bent is in the Birmingham area awaiting permission to speak to us. As soon as he gets permission from Sunderland, he'll be able to talk to us. This MIGHT get done today and personal terms will be discussed along with the medical completed. Stats: Scored 32 goals in 58 games for Sunderland. Only Drog and Rooney have scored more goals then him in the PL since 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Sunderland Echo seem to think there is more to this deal to be done... DARREN Bent has handed a transfer request into Sunderland and Aston Villa are looking to pinch him with an £18m bid. But reports that the club’s top scorer is in the West Midlands looking to tie up the deal are not believed to be accurate and Sunderland will not consider letting the striker leave for anywhere near the £18m mark. The Black Cats paid a £12m fee to Spurs 18 months ago, rising to a potential £16m with add-ons and Sunderland reckon the player has at least doubled in value since then - scoring 24 Premier League goals last season and currently leading the club’s goalscoring charts with eight league goals - 11 in all competitions. It is believed Bent put his transfer request in just two hours after the end of yesterday’s derby but Sunderland will hope to hold on to the player and will certainly not let him go for the fee of £18m offered at Villa Park. The news has come like a bolt out of the blue and there are likely to be several twists before the situation is resolved. But it’s a headache that manager Steve Bruce could have done without and if Bent is not sold in the transfer window, then the striker will be in a similar situation to Wayne Rooney at Old Trafford where he had to win back the fans after putting in a transfer request which came to nothing. More reaction and comment in tomorrow’s Sunderland Echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 A lot of money. Journos on twitter think its a waste. Do they not release we haven't had a proven goal scorer since Yorke? Since Dublin (before his neck injury). :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieB Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 For all those saying we've paid too much.. SSN reporter outside BH has just related an interesting statistic.... Only 2 players have scored more goals in the PL since 2005. Didier Drogba.... & Wayne Rooney they're on 82. Darrn Bent is on 81!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Since 2005 only two players have scored more league than Darren Bent (81). They are Drogba (82) and Rooney (83). That's why it's £18-24m! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
