Darren Bent

[Zatman]

 

 

Oh dear seems it's a loan deal. Why can't we sell our players?

 

strange. Spurs have got near 15 million for Parker, huddlestone and dempsey and we cant get rid of 1 player. maybe we are paying more wages than we think

 

 

Let's not talk crap about our club please. We sold Milner / Barry and Downing for £56 million. We sell players no problem.

 

Bent doesn't want to lower his wages, so it's a struggle to move him on.

 

Some will put the club down any chance they get.

 

 

you can compare Downing, Milner, Barry with Hutton, Ireland, Bent and Bannan

[Feidhlim]

If they are taking on 75k a week and giving us 2 million up front then its a better deal than a transfer IMO

 

Thats a total of nearly £6million for the year.

 

Considering most of our signings are below £5 million we can now get a player potentially as good as we all hope Okore will be, or stump up another million or two for another Benteke!

 

Not only that, but he is in the shop window for a year. So we could get a transfer fee of another million or two next season if he does well.

 

And final piece of good news, to my knowledge he can't play against Villa while on loan.

 

Good news all round. Fantastic news in fact.

 

And I wish him well because he has been good for us, whether he fits into Lamberts plans or not.

[vandaq]

Would be excellent if we could bring in a new one next week after this one goes through. Sounds like we will find out within a couple of hours.

Bent, Taarabt and BErbatov in attack, be betting Fulham go down now as not 1 of them will track back

Thank goodness we're unlike Fulham in that the strongest point of our team is our defence.

Why do you hate Villa so much? Our current attacking trio track back an awful lot, nobody mentioned either teams defence.

 

I love our team but hate double standards.

 

 

But Zatman pointed out Fulham's front three don't track back, which ours do, so in defense Fulham effectively will have 8 players where as we and most other teams will have 10/11, hence why Fulham could be favourites to go down. No double standards about it.

It better not be a loan.

[MessiWillSignForVilla]

It better not be a loan.

 

It's better than nothing, it get's rid of his wages for a year, gives us a small fee and puts him in the shop window too.

Yeah but to Fulham? A club who've already (allegedly) offered us £4m?

[Fab]

Any idea how much the loan fee could be? 

[JAMAICAN-VILLAN]

Any idea how much the loan fee could be? 

 

Apparently 2 million.

But if it is a loan move then any rumour of a permanent deal is not true as no way would we accept a loan deal and not a permanent deal.

[AValon]

If its a cash deal, its a good move all round. But if its a loan deal, then Bent is the major beneficiary imo.

 

It will only free up his wages, which could be the stumbling block between Lerner allowing us to bring in an average CM/AM as against a better quality player. And he will probably still be a Villa player in 12mths time, only a year older and even harder to shift.

As it stands Fulham will pay all of his wage, pay us 2 million up front, with the option of a permanent deal which will be another 3 mill.

 

This is a good for everyone concerned.

Yes, but could have been better for us.

How much so? No one is willing to pay up front so a deal that rids us of his wages, albeit only for a year, and potentially pays us £5m, roughly what we wanted, is a good deal

I know, it IS a good deal. I just think in regards of who we might bring in, then it could have been more beneficial for us to make it more of a final move. Could, I sincerely hope, be proved wrong of course.

The important thing here is wages - that is the key for bringing others in. £75k gone is great for us.

[LondonLax]

Until he's back here in 12 months time...

[neil3241]

Mixed feelings.

 

They try before they buy so to speak. 4m wages + 2m fee. With an option to buy for another 3m.

 

If he's shite, send him back. If he bags 15 goals plus then he is worth more than the 3m fee they will hand over for the option.

 

Of course we make 4m in saved wages + 2m. Plus maybe another 3m next year, but if he comes back costing us another 4m wages in his final year then we have only saved 2m.

[KSV]

not a fan of loaning him out. Hes down to 1 year left on his deal.. he will go cheaper not more.. unless he scores 20 goals i cant see his value increasing.
