Article: In derision of the Albion naysayers

[The Birdman]

Needs to lose a couple of pounds of fat but it's short term loan maybe till January ?

 

[BN9 BHA]

Bad news, it's not Darren Bent its Jason Bent

 

[El Turi]

I'm genuinely excited about this signing. If Bent is half as good as Bridge and Upson (who were both older when we signed them) then we should be well clear of the drop zone in a months time.

Just a shame hes coming to help us get out of the relagation fight, rather than helping us to the play offs.

that said with him in the team, there be no excuses for sami if we continue to struggle.

 

[Whitechapel]

Brighton sign Bent to add to the previous likes of Cox, Dicker & Dickinson. Waldo Ponce and Tom Bender to sign in January to complete the "HAHAHA Brighton are gay" collection for opposing fans?

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Would be handy if we can extend Elliott Bennett's loan too.

With KLL and Colunga showing some form we might just see the Albion regularly racking up the goals.

Just a shame hes coming to help us get out of the relagation fight, rather than helping us to the play offs.

Its not to late to make the top six if we manage to go on a run and win a few games.

 

[Easy 10]

Villa paid an initial £18m for Bent when they signed him from Sunderland, rising to a potential £24m.

Has there EVER been a more expensive player turn out for us ? Even Bridge was "only" £10m went he signed for City.

Darren Bent on loan?

I couldn't find a thread on it, but is there any truth in this? I know it's the Daily Fail but: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2849219/Aston-Villa-flop-Darren-Bent-set-join-Championship-Brighton-loan.html

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

How anyone could be anything other than genuinely thrilled by this I don't know.

Still only 30

 

[cirC]

Argus has the story too...http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/albion/11625263.Albion_set_to_capture_Darren_Bent/

 

[TomandJerry]

"Bent joined Fulham on a season-long deal last season, scoring three goals in 24 appearances. "

Not great for a forward

It's a hoax

 

[supaseagull]

Similar scenario here to when Reading signed Jason Roberts.

Premier league. Totally different ball park. Also most games from the bench.

 

[Stat Brother]

The only one that instantly comes to mind is Mike Trusson, but I'm not sure.

 

[Mackenzie]

Similar scenario here to when Reading signed Jason Roberts.

Lets hope for a similar result.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

What a signing this could be, one of Baldock or Colunga playing off bent with Bennett and Lua Lua playing the passes yes please!

 

[Prince Monolulu]

In order of preference 1) Stick with our tall guys. 2) Move backwards a step eg. Murray/Zamora. 3) The likes of Bent and Lita

IMHO like.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Surely SURELY this is too good to be true, Marcus Bent sounds more likely...
