Beautiful goal, one of my all time favourites. Mind you .. The changes do ring and we must look forward. ... I wonder how loans get done on the fiscal side. I can't see them paying his full wages .. So do we in effect rent him out for a contribution to overheads ? .. If towards the end of the window it looks as though nobody is willing to take Bent on a permanent, the club will probably feel its beneficial for him to go on loan even if another club only plays a small fraction of his wages. His career here is done it seems, GR wants to trim the squad, better he’s out playing than mooching around the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Might as well keep him for RamsTV. He's pretty good at punditry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bent gets goals. As does Winnall. Both great impact subs in my view and perfectly adequate as cover for Nugent Admittedly in that scenario, Martin goes, Bent goes at end of season, Winnall returns to Sheff Weds at end of season and we would need to recruit new strikers next season. But I expect that anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be handy that Bent will be out of contract and Winnall returns to Sheff Wednesday as there will be less dead wood to clear. Baird will also be out of contract. I am not sure about the other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a good squad, the chance to strengthen it , and the fixtures in the second half of the season are slightly easier than in the first half. I think 92 points will see us automatically promoted and 92 points is feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsdubs Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Most of their goals are balls pinging around the box, rebounding etc. Prime Bent territory, just get him in the box and he'll be there to tuck them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewsFromTheMiddle Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Would be a good move for him to go to Burton at this stage of his career. Get plenty of game time and it's local. Couldn't care less if it's doing them a favour or not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistaram Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Find it hard to believe anyone would want to take him he's 34 next month He's been poor since we resigned him on the 8th June 2015 We've played 118 league games since then he's appeared ( not started) in 48 of them and the odd cup game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
