On his way to midlands to discuss personal terms, bit of a strange deal
Bent to Villa for £18m
- Thread starter vanthaman
- Start date
Darren Bent?
Villa need a striker but im shocked if Sunderland are willing to sell the man they have relied on for goals for so long.
Marcus Bent
Do you know when you say "I wouldn't sell unless it's silly money"?
Well this is silly money, stupid stupid Randy Lerner.

It's not going to be Marcus Bent
if this is true i wonder will we see Welbeck to Sunderland for 12 million
Not a bad one for Villa but doesn't make much sense for Sunderland given Welbeck will back with us soon.
Sounds like a stupid deal for Sunderland
Apparently Ashley Young is off.
If bent is worth 18m then I'd expect atleast 16m for welbeck
In what way?
Great deal for them, they will get a similar (or probably better) player in for a much lower fee.
Source?
Deal could rise to 24m WTF
Nearly every journalist on twitter.
Apparently it's 18 Million rising to 24 Million.
Why would he want to go from Sunderland to Villa?
It's all over twitter
I have read a lot of shite from Twitter journo's to be fair.
Unless it's on the beeb or SSN then it's not happening.
Further proof that English players are overpriced.
I hope this doesn't mean they're going to sign Welbeck. 
It can't be for that much money surely? I hate football when Darren Bent is worth so much.
I wonder how Martin O'Neill feels that Aston Villa splash out £18m on Bent.
SSN said Grant was being sacked Saturday night and Twitter said he wasn't, it appears Twitter was correct.
Bizarre if this does happen. So much for Villa's financial worries.
I hope this doesn't mean they're going to sign Welbeck.
Could well be the beginning of the transfer merry go round.
Bent handed in transfer request according to ssn
So who's buying Ashley Young then?
This is the same Houllier that paid £11m for Heskey in 2000. Sounds about par for the course.
Bent's stupid, why would he want to leave Sunderland when he is doing so well there?
Stranger fees have happened.
Glen Johnson, Lescott....
Glen Johnson, Lescott....
WTF? Welbeckinho better not be a part of this in the long term.
So Owen to Sunderland might not be as stupid as I first thought
All things considered, I'd prefer that to losing Welbeck.
Maybe he fancies a relegation scrap?
If it happens I would rather it be now as Sunderland will pay some money for him.
I thought Villa were skint and that O'Neill left because Lerner was tightening the purse strings?
No way is he worth it by the way, Sunderland will be laughing all the way to the bank with Gyan and Welbeck more than good enough to compensate.

Would be a better transfer for us than for Sunderland.
Seeing as Sunderland paid £13m for an unproven player in Asamoah Gyan, to receive just slightly more for someone who has scored dozens of goal in the league for them isn't really that amazing deal.
Sunderland will definitely make a bid to keep Welbeck permanently, don't think it's going to be accepted but I won't be shocked if it is.
