NUFC transfer rumours in the press

[Unbelievable]

Dear God no, certainly not at that price.

[Guest]

Aye true. Let's just stick with another 10 starts and 15 sub apps for Shola next season instead. Much better.

[toontownman]

Don't see the logic..

 

- Can't form a partnership with any other striker.

- Isn't better than Cisse.

- Will want regular games starting.

 

Beyond that he is at least a big step up from bloody Shola.

[Dinho lad]

Aye true. Let's just stick with another 10 starts and 15 sub apps for Shola next season instead. Much better.

 

Do you think he would want to leave the Villa bench to come to the Newcastle bench?

 

And please don't suggest that he and Cisse are to be regular partners upfront.

[ponsaelius]

Yeah because Bent would come to sit on the bench. He'd play upfront, with Cisse, in a 4-4-2.

 

Won't happen though, regardless.

[Dokko]

Just about the worst signing we could make, makes no sense at all.

[Stifler]

I'd rather have Defoe than Bent.

[Unbelievable]

The stuff of nightmares. They would just constantly be in each others way..

[ponsaelius]

Bent is shit. He's a freakish byproduct of the of the modern Premier League where a relegation standard player can garner CL level fees and wages. Worth buying if you're a god awful team who needs goals and is willing to sacrifice the rest of the team, build the whole set-up around him and scrape surivival.

 

That's why he's played for Ipswich, Charlton, Sunderland and Villa who all scratched around trying to avoid relegation while he was there. Spurs he failed at, because he's shit and can't play in an actual football team trying to achieve something.

[Hughesy]

I don't get the Bent dislike - he's a good player.

[Unbelievable]

I don't get the Bent dislike - he's a good player.

 

I like him as a player, and do think he's underrated, massively even by some, but he's not what we need, not at all. Cisse and him are just too similar for me.

He's a better option than we have at the moment - can at least play him if Cisse is out of form or injured.

[TheHoob]

I remember a game either last season or the season before where he was on for 70 minutes or so and he didn't touch the ball a single time you've got to build a team around someone like that. No ta.

About 80% true. Think you are overly harsh on him, on fire and in form he's deadly, but it's been years since that and there's little chance he'll regain it now he's 29. His pace will soon go, he's lost some already and then he'll be done at top flight, that's if he's even still interested in being there football wise (he enjoys the money of course and why hell more than likely sit at villa on the bench till his contract is up)

[toontownman]

Sums it up really. He was class at Ipswich, was gutted when we missed out on him.

[ponsaelius]

Maybe overly harsh, maybe not. I think he's shit and can fuck off especially under Pardew442ball

[Stuy_O]

Don't rate Bent at all sorry, combine that with the fact he loves himself so much. In terms of poaching goals probably is pretty decent - but we already have that type in Cisse who is a better all round player who works harder.

 

If Bent isn't getting any chances it's like having 10 men. He offers absolutely nothing outside of the box.

[Unbelievable]

I don't get the Bent dislike - he's a good player.

On a free I'd consider it, at 6 million and no doubt sizeable wages, no thanks.

[ponsaelius]

I also think he's got a stinking attitude.

[AlanSkÃrare]

Better than Shola at RW if nothing else.

[Dave]

Bent is 29. Not happening.

[Fenham Mag]

Bent - Carroll

 

 

Has somewhat of familiar feel to it.

[Deuce]

Bent would do well with one of the newly promoted sides.

[Stuy_O]

Don't see anything to do with Bent fitting Ashley's blueprint like.

[sempuki]

Did Pardew manage him at Charlton? Can't remember.
