KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Darren Bent To Liverpool - Done Deal.......?

Hello Fellow Reds,

Just noticed this link on the Official LFC site suggesting that a deal has been done regarding DB's transfer to Liverpool.

Was wondering what the general concensus was on here amongst everyone if we actually signed him?

Personally, when rafa was in for him (circa 2007/08) I was fairly happy with the idea. Not sure about now though and of course it depends on the fee.

No doubt that the Bent can finish and with the amount of chances we make he could do a good job and lighten the burden.

THoughts, people?

I'd be happy to have him. He's not world class like some people are demanding but he can defiantly get goals.

If we are going to buy Bent, I hope its not for an inflated price. I don't mind him, he can score goals, but why pay too much.

id be happy if we pay 10m or less for him, that would be good business.

12-15m would be ok. He is a proven goal scorer. 24 goals in the Premiership remember.

Agree lads.

Just hope we stop getting mugged off in the market like we have been doing.

Besides, Villa should do us a favour after squeezing an extra 8 mil out of us for the disappointing Downing!

But it is January after all so won't be surprised if we pay £24 Mil or something stupid like that!

Annoyingly, if we do end up paying £20 Mil then why not just add on another £10 and buy Torres for £30 Mil?


Reckon Chelsea would snap our hands off and we would make so much back from the image rights alone!

I would hate to may 24m. We can't be paying inflated prices anymore.

He would be ok for £12-£15 unfortunately I cannot see them accepting that much so IMO it's too much for another englishmen

Either we cannot attract top stars in Europe anymore or Commolli is really a double agent screwing us from within lol

I don't think there's any truth in this story. Villa won't sell Bent at this stage of their season.

Its always inflated prices in January, I'd prefer to spend 25m on someone who we know can score goals and is proven goalscorer (however this doesn't garentee anything) than put all our eggs in one basket and hope that a David Villa for example bags the goals. The problem i see with overseas players is theres always the doubt that if they do become a world class striker how long can we keep him? Like Luis Suarez, if Barcelona came in for him do u think we can keep hold of him. Just saying British is better, for now.
