poitier Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I could see Bent with Benteke working, not sure about Bent with Kozak. i would prefer Gabby with Kozak probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Wouldn't shock me if we went with Kozak and Bent while Benteke recovers, it would at least give Gabby and Weimann a kick up the backside. Bent played well with Kenwyne Jones at Sunderland so think that might come up with a few goals.

TrentVilla Posted May 21, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2014 We've just got rid of the only person that may have got some assists for him. Culverhouse? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Darren Bent could be off. Not sure what to make of it, i kind of liked the idea of him staying with benteke injured and Joe Cole being able to play behind him. Still has some use for us i think.

Still has some use for us i think. well it was better to keep him and play him than send him on loan to relegation rivals. doesn't surprise me that he's looking for another club though after things have panned out in the last two years. Why on earth would he want to play under Lambert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really blame him for wanting to leave. Not treated the best by lambert. Especially with Benteke injured I thought we would've wanted to have kept a proven premiership goal scorer in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 5.5 million euros Really? Good price. Does this mean Lambert can use the money on top of his small and insignificant war chest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djemba_Villan Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 5.5 million euros If true not terrible business, considering he's in his final contract year so would walk free in 10 months or so. Plus the £80k/week or so frees up about £4M over a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody1000 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Was really chuffed when we signed him, but over time he showed what a limited player he is. I'm glad at least we're getting some money for him, and his wages off the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Getting his wages off the books could make a huge difference in the type of player we could bring in. Hopefully we could re-invest any transfer fee recouped also, but I guess I won't hold my breath there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really blame him for wanting to leave. Not treated the best by lambert. Especially with Benteke injured I thought we would've wanted to have kept a proven premiership goal scorer in the squad Yeah he treated him really badly when he made him captain. Fact is Bent didn't perform for two years for us and was on huge money we could ill afford in wages so Lambert shifted him on and he did the square root of naff all at Fulham last season. Yes he is a proven goal scorer in the PL but he has done very little for 3 years and so there would seem to be very little point paying him huge wages to do the same for another year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 5.5 million euros We can get 5 or 6 league one players for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 If Lerner gives Lambert just half of the fee and wages freed up by Bent i'd be very surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played no worse than anyone else it's easy to cherry pick from the past to prove an argument but Bent's form never went of the rails completely, it's not as if Weimann has been anymore consistent, there is no excuse ever for losing your place in a squad to jordan Bowery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
