Statham512 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 £4m over 4 seasons, 19k pw maybe? 4 year deal was mentioned before somewhereThink that's most likely. I think that be good business. Shows intent as well if true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 The Sun report that we're close to getting him for £4m. I thought he was out of contract - unless that would be his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Nixon says Bent will sign for us very soon. I think we have a potentially amazing forward line shaping up, with Martin, Bent and Ince (hopefully) all clearly 20 goals a season players, Russell possibly in that bracket and Calero and Bennett champing at the bit to come through.

Russell is a hard-working, technically gifted player that is very capable of being in our starting eleven. He's more than capable of producing an end product, and getting at the opposition on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you regarding general negativity, but if Russell ever scores 20 in a season I will eat JW's poo. Technically gifted would describe Iniesta, Messi, Ibrahamovic, etc. I think hard working journeyman is perhaps nearer to JR's ability and I love him for it.

However, I think Johnny has that potential if he played as the main striker in a team, but of course he doesn't for us (and I'll admit he struggled the way we tried to do that with him when there was no one else available). I do think when he's on form, he's a terrific instinctive finisher.I'd settle next season for 20 each from Martin, Bent and Ince, 10 from JR and then another 30 divided between the rest of them (and I'm talking league goals here). Pretty sure that would get us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I don't want us to sign Bent, I really don't.Comes across as one of those desperate, wage-sucking signings which do little good to the team. Yes he's a talented player, but he's not what we need.We need that naive youthfulness back from last season which produced fast football, not experienced pros who will slow the game down.I'm worried for us this summer. I don't want to say it, but looking at Shotton, Warnock and now Mac targetting Bent - it's these 'experienced' type of signings which ultimately ruined him at Forest.

I don't want to say it, but looking at Shotton, Warnock and now Mac targetting Bent - it's these 'experienced' type of signings which ultimately ruined him at Forest. Agreed. Bent is a goalscorer of the highest order but when he's not scoring goals, he offers little else.His wage demands will be highest in the club. You simply don't go from earning 80k a week and then accept 15k. A signing like him would put pressure on the wage budget.Who would you play with a fully fit Martin and a fully fit Bent? One of them or both? I don't think they play well together on the evidence I have seen and Martin would get my vote every time. Neither player would accept a bench role.Bringing these players to the club when they cannot get into the team of their parent club and they have a point to prove is great. It's a whole different situation when you sign them and you're stuck with them for 2~3 years.I think Bent has a poor attitude as a player. He has always been in and out of sides and you have to question his attitude. I can see us signing him and a year down the line, we have another Ravanelli on our hands.No thanks.

Sith Happens Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I agree Martin and Bent, on the evidence so far dont work together. Bent scores goals but doesnt offer anywhere near as much as Martin does, i would rather us have a really good back up plan incase martin gets injured again, and bent wont be coming as a back up plan.
