Guest Bramble OG Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 have not read the whole thread, but have we had the spurs fans on saying that its only 1million and the 16.5million only applys once hes played 1600 games worked as the cleaner/tea lady and whatever else?....oh and that his wages are 2-3000 a week?

Lenny Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 What exactly is there about Bent that makes him better than Defoe? I think Bent is much more of a team player than Defoe and will score as many goals as him. Id choose Bent over Defoe but the fee Spurs are paying is rediculous, especially considering they really dont need another striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest optimistic nit Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 other way round 15.5 million to be spread over 3 years. 1mill performance based. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Spurs could have sorted out the joke of a keeper and defence for what they've spent on Bent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UV Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Would be a big fee, but any big number can be put to the media. The true fee has to be reported to the Stock Exchange, if the true fee is big enough. Our new #23 will be fine. http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/articles/bentannouncement290607.html The following statement was made to the Stock Exchange this morning... Tottenham Hotspur plc Player Transfer Tottenham Hotspur plc is pleased to announce that agreement has been reached with Charlton Athletic Football Club and the England player Darren Bent, age 23 years, for the transfer of his registration to Tottenham Hotspur FC for a total consideration of £16.5 million (inclusive of performance related payments) payable in instalments over the next three years. The player’s contract is for a period of up to six years. Tut tut, it seems Spurs are lying to the Stock exchange as well as the press about this transfer fee, but we know the TRUTH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gary3885 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 i'd take keane off their hands! he was quality last year but overshadowed by berbatov. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 16.5 f****** millions?! And thats for a team that already have 3 class strikers in Defoe, Berbatov and Keane, what the f*** are they thinking, seriously? Shouldn't they be looking for a decent LB or RB instead of buying another overated striker for this price.. Then again, its the Spuds, they thought Mido is worth 6.5m You're wrong on two counts. 1) We have Bale, lee, and ekotto for the lb spot which is more then enough. Chimbonda and stalteri for the right back spot which again is good enough. 2) Mido was bought for £4 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly think all those names (Bale aside, never seen the lad play before) are going to help you reach your targted "top 4" position? Got any source for the Mido deal?

Guest king harry Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Darren Bent - 3 international appearances, no goals. £16.5m Miroslav Klose - One World Cup Golden boot. £10m bent is 22, klose is 29, but id of still took klose at 29 for 10 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest king harry Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 That is truly ridiculous. I quite fancied him at about £9/10 million, but even that i thought may be a bit overpriced! And spurs too - you'd maybe expect it from west ham or someone - but £16million! Makes owen seem like a right bargain at the £17 million we paid, never mind £9million I think he is overpriced, but i would put money on it that he scores more goals for spurs, than owen does for newcastle. If i was a spurs fan, given a straight choice id have bent over carrick 7 days a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stozo Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Forgetting my Newcastle bias, it's gonna be amazing seeing Berbatov and Bent play up front next season. Could be one of the most lethal strikeforces in the Premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest redmayne Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 seems ridiculous for bent what has he ever achieved ? tevez is a class above and henry has gone for 16 mill seems way over odds but looks like west ham have pushed the fee up for spuds... hope we dont get in a bidding war for that kind of money for players although for tevez i'd pay 20+ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodson Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 FFS! 16,5 mil for Bent, now thats overpricing! For that kind of money they could have made better buys to make their squad better. Theyve got Berbatov, Keane, Defoe shouldnt they go for central defenders and midfielders?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparantly Kaboul is more or less signed (would have prefered Davies tbh), making that King, Dawson,Kaboul and Rocha at Centre back so i dont think we need any more defenders. Left mid and possibly dm is the positions that we probably need to strengthen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest samtoonarmy Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Darren Bent isn't worth £16.5m. Henry's fee was £16m and thats even higher than Darren Bent. No way he is worth that much - I would value him at around £10m. But its just Charlton wanting such a high price because they need to build a squad to get them promoted.
