JH Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 They do look better with one up front, and as such they'll always struggle to keep Bent and Gyan happy. Might be an OK sale if they use the money well on the rest of the squad. Gyan has hit some form, but I don't think he's that consistent. They'll struggle with just him and Campbell, and I doubt they can attract anyone better than Bent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Does look like he's been tapped up though, Transfer Request and then Villa next day make an 18M bid. other way round apparently, he put in the request after hearing about the bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Think of all the loan signings they can get with £18m! with that 18mill they could probably but onouha, elmohamday, mensah and still have 4 or 5 million to put towards a forward (in order to stay where they are) 4 or 5m won't buy much in a jan market for strikers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Sell the star player just to stand still then basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they'll just be looking for a cheap-ish backup striker and spend the rest on midfield and defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he'll be forfeiting his percentage of the transfer deal, shows how desperate he is to get away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Why would he leave the mackems for relegation zone villa? Because Villa are a bigger club than Sunderland. Villa is in the midlands where Bent will probably feel more at home. Sunderland's a strange place for black people, which is why most of their players live in Newcastle. If bent lived in Sunderland he'd be getting his windows put out every night. They racially abused his ma ffs, no wonder he wants away from that shithole.

Chris_R Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 There's just so much wrong with this deal I'm not sure where to start: - I'm laughing that Sunderland are losing their best player and only natural goalscorer - I'm curious to see what Brucey can do with £18m, hopefully utterly waste it - Villa are overpaying and are desperate, but tbh Bent will probably keep them up. Sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I imagine they'll go for Insomnia and try get Wellbeck permanent if Bruce is allowed to spend the money. Can't help thinking Ellis Short will be getting disillusioned with the joys of being Sunderland owner and start tightening the purse strings tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing your best striker to bring in somebody like Owen? What's good business about it? Gyan is not good enough and Welbeck is off back to Man U.

Thespence Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Fergie is not going to sell Welbeck. Expect Owen out & Welbeck in next season MUFC strike force 2011/2012: Berba, Roo, Pea, Welbeck & Diouf Bebe loaned out. I reckon Macheda will be sold.
