Encouraging ( am I allowed to feel like that on NSC these days?)

 

[Surrey_Albion]

I remember wayne Bridge wanted to stay and said being at Brighton had made him fall in love with football again

Mmm and look how that ended

 

[HantsSeagull]

would be good to keep him for as long as we can

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Did Bent ever play against Hyypia?

 

[smudge]

Don't they all say this? I've a feeling Elliot Bennett is not as keen though.

Bent maybe will stay if he can as he'll not be rotated unlike the others.

 

[Bozza]

Did Bent ever play against Hyypia?

At least once (I can't be bothered to look any further)

 

[Bombadier Botty]

Seriously?!

. . . and then he signed for Reading.

. . . and then he got injured.

. . . and then he retired.

If we can persuade Bent to stay then that would be a huge boost.

Hopefully Tony is willing to find the money and we can fight off interest from other Clubs.

Bent would also be daft not to seek assurances that we will give him the right support in attack plus make one or two other decent signings.

Would rather know how much we're paying of his 60k a week wages before keeping him on...I doubt very much we're paying just 10k a week,probably 30k a week at a guess.

Makes a mockery of getting rid if the high earners doesn't it, also we've tried to do things on the cheap to make a profit on Leo but have probably spanked that up the wall with all the loans so instead of spending that money and the Buckley money wisely on good players we've got under average players and now will have to spend even more in January.

Bloody shambles.

 

[Silent Bob]

Keeping Bent for the season would be a huge coup, even getting him in for a month was imo. I guess the key will be whether any Premier League team in need of goals comes in for him, if not then we must have a decent chance of retaining him.

He only signed fior Reading because we didn't make him an offer.

 

[GT49er]

He only signed fior Reading because we didn't make him an offer.

With hindsight, in view of the injury and then retirement, we let him go at the right time.

 

[portslade seagull]

Would be very good if we kept him .. 2 goals in 4 games says it all

I'm pretty sure it's been quoted as being around 10-15k a week we're contributing. Which is more or less line with our other highest earners.

If we kept Bent and got rid of Hyypia we'd probably stay up. Will either happen? Don't think so.
