Fredi back for 4m, cut our losses on Bent , sell him for 10m.
So after we prise away their most succesful manager in history, they'd be willing to sell us their best striker for only 4 million when other teams like Milan and Juventus are also interested
hahahaha
Well obviously my thread was meant to be a bit sarcastic in view of the Ramos- Kanoute- Spurs triangle. But in all seriousness the fact that Milan and Juventus are apparently interested does tend to show that our deals to sell Kanoute for 4m and buy Bent for 16m were both foolish. Would Milan or Juve want Bent ? And could we sell Bent for 10m even if we wanted to ?
All that means is that he's more suited to playing in leagues with a slower tempo and an emphasis on technique. Players gravitate to their natural playing fields. Bent has HARDLY been given the chance. We overpaid for an acclimatized English striker, that's the name of the game. It's not a strike against the man himself.
