MagicMushroom Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Could see him going there if they were interested, just to spite the Sunderland fans who racially abused his family. I cant. Have read he is pretty settled in the Midlands, so he may not wish to uproot that far. So Stoke or Baggies, both with rumoured past interest?

CI Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Can't see NUFC matching his wages therefore he won't leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMushroom Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Can't see NUFC matching his wages therefore he won't leave Well, we are a much stronger squad with him in it, so i wont be unhappy about that. However, its pretty obvious that Darren is not happy about being part of a squad. If not the two clubs i mentioned, then maybe Fulham or West Ham. Both can find ways to pay his wages since they may drop if hes desperate to get away, and moving house may not be a huge problem since both could supply lodgings down there, whilst he keeps his home here.

roadoftrinity Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Wonga wasn't a concern for Cisse last season though was it? Anyway, lets hope he manages to force a move and then we can shift Bent. Edited June 11, 2013 by roadoftrinity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Last season, Cisse played in a kit with 'Virgin Money' on the front, who as a bank, presumably charge interest Edited June 11, 2013 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Big rumours going about the toon hes off to them. Nothing on their main forum, so where are these big rumours? There is some proof for you BIG rumors question all be it the telegraph are 2 days later than my post. It’s just a pity people can't post on here with some little info they hear without getting sarcastic responses. It’s no wonder people who do hear wee bits of things that prove to be true or even untrue are all being driven away. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/aston-villa/10114171/Newcastle-United-manager-Alan-Pardew-ready-to-make-cut-price-offer-for-Aston-Villa-striker-Darren-Bent.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 didnt Sissoko goto them Villa couldnt match the wages they offered.. and now suddenly they cant afford him? Im sure he would take a pay cut to go there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Regardless of who we sign this summer, the most impressive move from Lambert would be finding a buyer for Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Reacho Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Cisse and Bent would likely be similar to how Cisse and Ba were up front together. Cisse and Ba weren't exactly Shearer and Sutton were they? Ba got pissed off because Pardew would only play him wide when Cisse was up front. In the end he got dropped and then wanted out. If Cisse wants to leave Newcastle Bent would be a perfect fit for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Regardless of who we sign this summer, the most impressive move from Lambert would be finding a buyer for Bent. I would have thought Bent would be much easier to move on than some of our players especially at the rumoured price of around 6m which to my mind isn't enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Even if they are just rumours, it's nice to hear that a few clubs may be interested - increases the liklihood of his departure and perhaps means we will get a reasonable fee. For me, the guy has done nothing wrong, but is taking up way too much wages for his role in the squad and we should offload. If he is on the reported £80k per week, saving £4m in wages next season (perhaps offset by £1m wages to his replacement) would mean that £6m+ would be decent business for us.

Pez1974 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Regardless of who we sign this summer, the most impressive move from Lambert would be finding a buyer for Bent. Close. Getting money for Ireland would more impressive. Getting rid of Bent, Ireland, Hutton and Given (on top of Warnock, Dunne and Makoun) would be unbelievable.

Nigel Posted June 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2013 Think he'd go just to play football. Agreed, especially with the Euros at the end of the season, and a last realistic chance of a birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Regardless of who we sign this summer, the most impressive move from Lambert would be finding a buyer for Bent. I doubt Lambert will be that active in finding a club for Bent. Also I doubt it will be difficult to find a club for Darren Bent as long as the value we place on him is right and as long as the wage demands he has are right, which Lambert will have no real say in. I think Bent will leave, not sure i class it as an achievement to sell him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'm quite sure Bent will leave in the final weeks of the window. I think he may be 2nd or 3rd choice for a few clubs in the Prem and inevitably when one or two of those clubs miss out on their preffered targets they'll fall back on Bent. It's then when they will have to match out 7-8mil valuation because they simply need the goals. So I'd suggest not stressing on this one. I'm sure Lambert's summer transfers are not at all linked to off loading players. Future funds for next Jan and Summer windows would be the ones impacted.

LondonLax Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Someone like Cardiff should go in for him. They need goals and he will score enough to keep them up. Their defence is very good already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
