r0cafella Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Bent wouldn't be fine at all like. Least he's British though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I used to like Bent, was very limited with his general play and the fact he couldn't pair up with anyone but if you gave him a chance he'd usually take it. Problem is we aren't the most creative team and if his recent form is anything to go by he has lost his only attribute. We need a forward who can score goals from half chances, a Ba, a (first half a season) Cisse or a Remy. We'll be lucky to get that and with Pardew's style/tendency to not play players in their actual positions next season has disaster written all over it.

r0cafella Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Also he has no motivation whatsoever. We are talking about a man who has no hope playing for England again, no chance of competing for any major honours and has done nothing for an entire season. I can't see how this would be anything more than a last pay day for him and a total disaster for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your Pards and it makes perfect sense. he's worked with bent before right? seems to me like he's looking for allies in the dressing room.

loki679 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 With Bent and Cisse up front together our score would start going into the negative. Newcastle -5 : 3 Mackems kind of thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If villa wanted to give him away for nothing, and bent himself was ready to be paid Shola wages, then I wouldn't be against it. But even with that said you'd hope for much much better and a future, which he hasn't got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the transfer policy has anything against players over 30, it's more about value for money. If we could get Bent for a low enough price and if he accepted vastly reduced wages then he might be considered value for money. He's not going to have any resale value but I'm not sure that necessarily matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Jerusalem Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Having Pardew in charge is against the transfer policy as well though as he's starting to drive down the resale value of players. The transfer policy is dead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, we still need players and although it would be nice (for the board) for them to have potential resale profit those types normally cost a fair amount in the first place. If Bent was very cheap and willing to accept reasonable wages I have no doubt they would consider it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Wouldn't bent just be another Cisse though, incompatible in playing in a partnership with others and does fuck all apart from try and score goals? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft fee that, must only be mentioned because Roma have some cash now after the Osvaldo, Lamela and Marquinhos sales. I could really see coming good under Garcia like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
