I'd rather see Bent stay if the alternative is this...

So what you're saying is, your main objection to Crouch is that he's somewhat odd-looking?

No, it's just a picture of him...

What i'm saying is that Bent is a better player

Bent is a better player in a team that suits his style.....whereas Crouch would be better for the way we play at spurs. That is my way of writing a nice compromise :grin:

Bent is a good player in a team that defends deep and hits other teams on the break - pretty much what happened with Charlton - check out his goals against us when we beat Charlton 4-3 away a couple of seasons ago. That is also why he has done better in away games. At home, teams sit deep against us and he doesn't have the space to run in to behind the defenders. We need someone to hold the ball up and Crouch can do that for us. If this all goes through then it's a good deal for all concerned.

So keep Bent to play with Crouch and sell Pav or has-Beano...

He will score loads of goals for Sunderland I am sure.

As has been said elsewhere I think the price-tag put a huge amount of pressure on him and I don't think he was ever really given a fair crack of the whip by many Spurs fans.

He scored goals though, nobody can argue with that, and although he didn't always bring alot else to the party I still think he was relatively successful for us.

If we make the majority of our money back we've done well...but equally I think Sunderland will be buying alot of goals.

I must admit, with our defences record against physical attacks, I don't fancy playing agaisnt him and Kenwyne next season.

I'm also wondering what this does to the Chamakh race, because I'd still like him and he's in my list on Evers transfer window game

Darren Bent has written this on his twitter page.
From what i can recall, you're not allowed to post anything to do with Bent's Twitter page as it doesn't count as ITK. So read this really quickly, before it gets deleted!!!

"Can't believe its gone to the wire and I'm now being pulled off the flight all because of a transfer. That's why I love football"
