JAT Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I think we have to look at changing the system next season, as although it is brilliant when it works I think too many times this season teams have sussed it and then when the talisman got injured we were buggered. So for that reason I think the ability and experience of Bent would be a great addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sheriff Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Bent is a goal machine. Get him in.. work on a formation that allows us to play well with 2 strikers. I need good news after mclaren and ward news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hope not.Doesnt offer enough from open play, especially considering the wages he'd be on with us. He's useful in certain situations, but would like us to have a young, quicker striker to run in behind and give us something different to Martin. Bent is just purely a poacher. Goals win games. What more do you need? If everyone does their specialist job and stopped trying to do loads of jobs, we perhaps would've done better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Be a fantastic signing if true, though he'd have to take a massive pay drop.SIGN HIM UP ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posh Ram Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 He's great to have coming off the bench when chasing the game. A fantastic goalscorer.But he doesn't do anything when starting. He doesn't have the creativity that Martin has, or the ability to keep the ball. He doesn't offer any pace either. So this would be a good signing, providing it's smart financially. I just hope we don't overpay for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Goals win games. What more do you need? If everyone does their specialist job and stopped trying to do loads of jobs, we perhaps would've done better! Arguement assumes another player couldnt do better/more to contribute to the overall success of the team. Martin a perfect example, offers goals and plenty from open play. As I said, not denying Bent is useful. In games where we're dominating possession and camped in the oppositions half, he's good to have on. And if he was cheap, I wouldnt have a problem with buying him, but the wages he would demand arent justifiable imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we don't overpay for him.The smart and obvious thing would be to hinge his contract heavily on his performance. Such as a very healthy bonus for goals and promotion bonus that also leads to a higher wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 After his shocker against reading , unless he was still ill or something,.. It's a no from me unless he takes a massive wage cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanoakaram4life Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 He'll come to us! I have no doubt! No prem club will have him because his pace has gone and offers nothing to "the team." So much is expected of strikers in the modern game The champ is his level now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Great goalscorer and professional. Would be delighted. And it's not my money, so if the board think they can afford him, I'd be very happy to have one of the best English forwards around playing for the Rams. Gives us options. Will teach the likes of Calero, Bennett, Vernam, Thomas and Zanzala a lot about finishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDeadlySaul Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Bent would be an amazing signing for us. His usefulness was definitely shown when we played Blackburn, they came to park the bus so Mac put Bent on in the 63 mins, 5 mins later he scores and then kills the game off later and also against Brentford away where he scored that late equaliser.He is a natural goal scorer who gets in positions and gets those goals that would be vital for us.

Bridgford Ram Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Do we see a formation where Bent and Martin could start together and bring their massive talents to the table?If so sign him, if not, as good as he is and has been for us this season he would be an expensive benchwarmer.

Idiakez Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 A lot of ifs here but bear with me:If we sign BentIf we have a fully fit Chris Martin ready for next season If we can find a formation that allows them both to play to their strengthsHas there been a better strike partnership at this level?

EastKentRam Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Not at all, but I doubt many have his scoring ratio this season.True.I dont doubt his poaching abilities. But when he doesnt score he's nothing but a passenger.The record of this Derby team with him in it, isnt the best either. Now of course, it would be ridiculous to blame him for that, but I just dont really think he's the sort of player that's compatible with the way we want to play. I see him as the next Kevin Phillips, very useful at this level if prepared to just come off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
