The College Dropout Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Its n Great, you'll no doubt be dancing like a fairy when Shola plays 20 games and squeal like a little pig when we go down. Its not Bent vs Shola Its Bent vs someone better If this was under Fat Freddy I would agree. He would panic and bring a big name in, over-priced for £10m. That was the FS way. MA and co.? I really suspect if we don't sign Gomis, we won't sign another forward. In fact, I know it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Underpants Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Graeme Bailey @GraemeBailey 1m Fulham set to seal loan signing of Darren Bent ahead of Crystal Palace. Newcastle were seriously consideringloan deal. Seems odd considering our policy pretty much ruled out loans before. Thats all we do. Consider things.

brummie Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If he's going, I just hope it is a permanent deal and not some shitty loan arrangement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hithere Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 If he's going, I just hope it is a permanent deal and not some shitty loan arrangement. It'll have to be a loan.

brummie Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I've no idea how much he's paid, but again, we're hardly going to be throwing around the sort of money on wages other teams can't match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturla Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 As the Gomis deal is gone cold, although not completely dead, we should be going for Bent. Would give us experience, competition and goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Looks like this is going to be another "we tried" excuse. Just seems like we didn't really want him that much. Could have been an option if Cisse went. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Great, you'll no doubt be dancing like a fairy when Shola plays 20 games and squeal like a little pig when we go down. Aww look I know you love the guy but you'll just have to accept he's never going to play for us, ah time for another dance Seriously, I dont believe for a moment he'd be a replacement for Ameobi, he wont come here to sit on the bench. Pardew shoe horning him into some impractical broken formation week after week is more likely to help us go down than save us. I mean Its been reported a couple of times that Pardew wants him as a number 10 ffs I suppose that'll bring the guarenteed goals people keep referring to? The creative powers of Darren Bent running at the opposition and slipping balls through for Cisse, mouth watering.. The only thing I'd have been ok with was Bent as direct competition for Cisse, bring him on off the bench if Cisse's off form and keep him on his toes. I dont believe for a second that would be the case though. So yeah I'm happy we haven't signed him, just as I was happy we didnt sign Downing.

Guest Phil K Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 The only real signing of note we're gonna make this summer is Remy on loan isn't it? Seems so. No surprise there then, and Kinnear has proved the doubters were bang on the money. That said, I expect some cheapie unknowns in at the last minute that we are underwhelmed at Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just not very bright, that's the top and bottom of it. No goals or creativity and we turn our noses up at players with a proven track record of providing both in the PL. I don't even like Bent that much. But he'd improve our shoddy setup no end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Wasn't that keen on Bent coming here on a contract but if Villa are happy to loan as it now appears we should've been in there to rid us of Shola on the pitch... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 @CaulkinTheTimes Darren Bent to sign #ffc loan with view to permanent deal tmw after more medical stuff this evening.

Guest neesy111 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Seriously, what are we playing at? Did we only revive interest because of a loan deal being available or the fact that we were forced to show our hand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Us trying for Bent today would suggest the Gomis deal is well and truly dead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
