Dave Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2363781/Newcastle-United-set-bid-6million-Aston-Villas-Darren-Bent.html Newcastle plan to step up their efforts to sign Darren Bent from Aston Villa with a £6million offer expected this week. Manager Alan Pardew will hold talks with director of football Joe Kinnear today when he returns from holiday in Italy. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/10178860/Joe-Kinnear-to-sit-down-with-Newcastle-manager-Alan-Pardew-with-Darren-Bent-top-of-agenda.html Kinnear has returned from a pre-arranged family holiday in Italy and is scheduled for pivotal transfer talks with Pardew, the Newcastle United manager, almost a month after his controversial appointment at St. James' Park. The pursuit of Aston Villa forward Bent is certain to be on the agenda, with Pardew expected to push Kinnear into making their first official move this week, possibly before Newcastle fly out for their pre-season tour of Portugal on Wednesday.

Cajun Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have no doubt this is a goer and I am happy with it IF he is competing with Cisse. The two together will make Cisse and Ba look like Shearer and Bellamy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I can't see any good reason why Bent would want to take a 30K a week pay cut to play for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two together will make Cisse and Ba look like Shearer and Bellamy. Ba and Cisse benefit from two totally different types of service. Plus, Ba wouldn't be a good partner for anyone due to his selfishness except a Leon Best type happy to do the donkey work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 ...............except a Leon Best type happy to do the donkey work. We miss Leon. Won us over, and always put a shift in, improving all the time, then unloaded.

Kanj Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Leon's hat trick that first start he had for us that night was fucking brilliant, chills down spine type performance from him. Miss the fella so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Best was a decent player, as said had very good feet. His reading of the offside rule was almost as bad as Cisse's though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Totally underrated by so many out there - he had some real tricky feet and was strong too. Canny squad player but no more than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time the offer sounded too good to turn down but I would give the money back if we could. Yep, i don't ever rememeber Besty letting us down, some of his goals with his footwork were brilliant, and had they been scored by someone like Rooney, Mata, Van Persie etc, pundits would have been raving. Rather liked him, i know he was limited but it was nice to have striker who didn't give a foul away every time he went near the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Totally underrated by so many out there - he had some real tricky feet and was strong too. Canny squad player but no more than that. We were 3rd with him starting every game. Some squad player. And don't give me any shit about Ryan Taylor or Danny Simpson. Best was vital to the way we played in the first third of the season.

Guest Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 He scored the same number in that spell in a similar number of games as Gouffran did second half of last season and you've just said you don't think he'll score or make enough in this country. I thought Best did a job but I'd take Gouffran every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Yes Best was good, and now when we have Cisse and play 4-3-3 we simply dont have good enough players out wide (HBA injured alot last season) so we don't function as well as we should with Cisse. That and tactics/negative foootball with no movement as well of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
