Guest neesy111 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 We haven't signed a 1st team player permanently in 16 months now, just think about that. Imagine going that long without signing a permanent player. :lol: :lol: I still stand by the principle that I would rather not sign anyone than sign someone shite. However, when we clearly need players, if we haven't been able to find someone suitable for 16 months then someone needs shooting. Ideally JK. As if JFK was to blame.

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 He'd be fine on loan as a backup. He got 6 goals last year while our second highest scorer (Gouffran) got 7. Oh i'm sure, the problem comes when he's Remy's replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Bent as Shola's replacement would be very good. We'll blatantly just sign him and maybe that unproven Perez lad though and we'll be fucked as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Also, surprised we're not in for Marc Albrighton. 24 and on a free, provides Pardew's English fret and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 didn't want bent last year, he can fuck off now just play kids instead of signing people like bent, the crowd would be behind and it hey who knows they might actually succeed if given a proper fucking chance for once Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samag Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Onyewu hoofing it to Bent. Can't wait. Both too old , no sell on value , so cannot see us signing either of them. 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...
r0cafella Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 makes no sense at all basically. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh74 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Can't see it meself like,its totally against chubsters age transfer policy but then again so was loan signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...
ikri Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Can't see it meself like,its totally against chubsters age transfer policy but then again so was loan signings. 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...
